“The US market represents a very big opportunity for us and thanks to the continued support of our valued shareholders, we intend to aggressively pursue it in 2020 and beyond,” said Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group.
This is the online gambling company’s first step in its strategy to pursue gambling licenses throughout the United States. The firm’s US operations will be based in New Jersey, where it expects to establish facilities and operating personnel.
Esports Entertainment Group announced on Tuesday the formation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary, “GMBL New Jersey Inc.“, for the express purpose of commencing its strategy to pursue gambling licenses throughout the United States that will further the company’s esports gambling market.
The licensed online gambling company with a focus on esports wagering and 18+ gaming expects to make its first such application with the State of New Jersey in the near future and will provide updates for each anticipated application as they are submitted in each available jurisdiction.
