MaximBet's entry into the Hoosier State debuts new
best-in-class technology, microbetting, innovative promos and
more
WENZHOU, China, Oct. 5, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- ZK International
Group Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ZKIN) ("ZKIN", "ZK
International" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that
its portfolio company, MaximBet,
the lifestyle sports betting and online casino brand owned and
operated by Carousel Group and in partnership with Maxim, announced
that it continues its rapid North American expansion with the
launch of its sportsbook in Indiana, the second live U.S. state for the
emerging sports betting brand.
The launch in Indiana is a
first for MaximBet, where it will feature its new, expansive sports
betting service and user experience technology that was developed
in partnership with Kambi Group and White Hat Gaming. The rollout
in Indiana is significant, as it
sets the path for the rapid expansion in several additional markets
including Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, among others, as well the Canadian
province of Ontario.
"We're unwavering in our commitment to bring sports fans the
greatest sports betting experience in the world, and that starts
with premium content and a world-class betting environment," said
Daniel Graetzer, Founder and CEO, of
MaximBet. "We will move quickly to bring our unique value
proposition to players throughout the country. To begin now just as
the NFL season is revving up and with the NHL, NBA and college
basketball action right around the corner, we couldn't be more
excited about our future."
Through this partnership, MaximBet will leverage Kambi's
best-in-class betting solutions as well as its expertise in
compliance, risk management and sports integrity. The enhanced
sportsbook will feature an array of market-leading offerings like
microbetting, tens of thousands of markets, Bet Builder, plus
Kambi's popular parlay product, Teaser+.
"We are excited to see MaximBet go live in the state of
Indiana, which is a testament to
our shareholders that MaximBet is executing on their multi-state
approach in penetrating the lucrative sports betting and casino
gaming industry of the US," said Mr. Jiancong Hunag, Chairman of the Company.
This is evident, as according to sportshandle.com, the
"Indiana sportsbooks have accepted
$2.5 billion in wagers through the
first seven months of 2022 and more than $8.5 billion overall."[1]

with Caesars Entertainment that enables the MaximBet
brand to rapidly secure market access to states across the country.

available nationwide and in Canada.

serial entrepreneur and media mogul, was announced this summer as
the company's newest investor, board
member and global ambassador. The multi-year agreement
includes Minaj appearing in MaximBet ads, website, sportsbook and
casino promotions. Along with the multi-year partnership with
Minaj, MaximBet also partnered this year with professional baseball
player, Charlie Blackmon, becoming
the first sportsbook to partner with
an active MLB player.
