Kindred Group has established a collaborative arrangement with the Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Indian Reservation to get ready for the possible legalization of sports wagering in Arizona and California.
Kindred Broadens US Operations into California and Arizona Markets
The Fort Yuma Indian Reservation extends from southeastern Imperial County, California to western Yuma County, Arizona.
It operates the Quechan Casino Resort in California and the Paradise Casino in Arizona.
The decade-long agreement with Kindred permits the Unibet operator to initiate sports betting and online gaming through digital and physical channels, contingent upon regulatory approval.
Kindred currently operates in Indiana, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and has been granted permissions to enter seven additional states, including Illinois and Ohio.
“The westward expansion is genuinely thrilling, and the partnership with the Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Indian Reservation will provide Kindred access to two crucial states in the US market,” remarked Manuel Stan, Senior Vice President of Kindred US. “California is likely to be one of the largest markets worldwide, with projected annual income exceeding $2 billion, while Arizona is anticipated to generate $200 million in annual sports betting income once fully established.”
Securing early entry into these two key states enables us to get ready for a prosperous launch in collaboration with outstanding partners who possess robust local ties.
The tribal leader, Jordan Hoakins, stated: “The Quechan Indian Tribe of Arizona and California is thrilled to team up with Kindred Group, a worldwide leader in online sports betting and gaming, to introduce an exhilarating new type of gaming to the public and produce income for our tribal members.”
