DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) and Peermont Hotels, Gaming and
Resorts, a leading South African gaming and hospitality group,
today announced the successful recent launch of PalaceBet
(PalaceBet.co.za), a mobile and online sportsbook powered by
DraftKings’ cutting-edge B2B sports betting technology.
“This collaboration brings together two organizations committed
to providing South Africa’s sports fans with the most dynamic and
innovative sports betting experience,” said Shay Berka, DraftKings’
Chief International Officer. “We are delighted that DraftKings’ B2B
technology is powering Peermont’s entry into sports betting,
through which they can provide their customers with extensive
markets, live betting opportunities, competitive pricing and
localised payment options.”
Peermont will utilize DraftKings’ full sportsbook and platform
solution to provide a best-in-class sports betting experience for
South African sports fans, who will have access to a range of
innovative product features including Your Bet and Pulse Betting.
Data integrations with Betgenius and IMG will ensure that
Peermont’s customers have access to a wide range of local and
international sports including basketball, cricket, football,
tennis, and rugby with live betting opportunities as well as Lucky
Numbers.
“Peermont has always been at the forefront of the latest trends
and technology, therefore it made sense to partner with DraftKings
as a leader in sports betting software,” said Nigel Atherton,
Peermont’s CEO. “Together we’ll be able to offer a product that
lives up to our high standards, and that provides a superior
betting experience.”
The collaboration with DraftKings will enable Peermont to
leverage its significant expertise in the land-based casino
environment to bring a world class level of service to the online
sports betting market and provide a unique betting experience to
its players.
“It was a no-brainer to partner with DraftKings,” says Iain
Gutteridge, PalaceBet’s General Manager. “The way we’re looking to
grow and to compete on an international scale, we knew that
DraftKings could offer the software solution so that we could not
only offer variety, but quality to our clients.”
