MediaTroopers to Launch in Maryland

Published

on

 

MediaTroopers, a prominent US digital marketing agency that specializes in online gambling, announced this week it has launched activities in Maryland. As MD bettors can now wager legally on their favourite sports and markets, this newly regulated state adds to MediaTroopers’ portfolio of 22 US states in which the company operates to promote legal, safe, and responsible gambling products. Ultimately, it will enable MediaTroopers to help its existing and new partners to reach millions of customers in Maryland.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Maryland sports betting is legal and live at long last. With the market launching during the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup and while this year’s NFL season is in full swing, it’s an incredibly exciting time for Maryland bettors. Similarly, substantial player engagement is expected after successful pre-launch marketing campaigns and plenty of fan involvement stirred up by leading gambling operators.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced that online and mobile sports betting would be available in the state from November 23, 2022. Some of the US’ biggest sports betting and iGaming brands are now live in Maryland, with many more expected to launch or waiting for the regulatory process to begin.

Several operators have already launched in Maryland, including long-standing customers of MediaTroopers like BetMGM, BetRivers, Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel, and PointsBet.

Shmulik Segal, the Co-Founder and CEO of MediaTroopers, said, “MediaTroopers is excited to launch in Maryland alongside the state’s legal and regulated gambling market. And what better time to go live, with the World Cup kicking off and the 2022 NFL season in full action.”

“However, we are mindful that along with this incredible opportunity comes an essential responsibility to promote fun yet safe sports betting to our customers.” Segal continued.

Segal concluded, “Here at MediaTroopers, we pride ourselves in our ability to effectively expand and reach new operators, adapting our services from state to state, along with our extensive digital marketing facilities. Ultimately, we look forward to working in Maryland and delivering top-quality service to gambling operators.”

As an industry-leading digital marketing agency, MediaTroopers has grown to become a top publisher in the sports betting and iGaming-regulated US markets. Decades of combined digital-marketing strategy experience and an extensive network of publishers allow the company to provide its clients with bespoke marketing solutions to best fit their needs.

With the addition of Maryland, MediaTroopers Inc is now licensed or operational in 22 US states, including prominent markets like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, West Virginia, and Washington DC. With a huge focus on innovation, MediaTroopers has a substantial portfolio of over 60 clients, including leading US sportsbook operators like DraftKings, FanDuel, MGM, and more.

Jackpot Digital, a leading manufacturer of electronic multiplayer dealerless poker tables, has announced that it has received approval from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) to act as a registered supplier of gaming supplies and services to regulated casinos in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

The approval follows the Company’s news release dated February 6, 2024, announcing the signing of a licensing agreement with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) to install the Company’s Jackpot Blitz dealerless poker ETGs into SIGA casinos.

SIGA operates seven casinos and Playnow.com in Saskatchewan. At the outset, SIGA proposes to install Jackpot Blitz machines at its Dakota Dunes and Gold Horse Casino properties, located in Saskatoon and Lloydminster, respectively.

Jackpot CEO Jake Kalpakian said: “We are excited to receive approval as a gaming equipment supplier in Saskatchewan. This represents the first major jurisdictional, non-tribal license received by Jackpot during our continuing expansion into the land-based casino market. We have many more license applications underway in the US and other Canadian provinces, which will dramatically impact our ability to accelerate the rollout of Jackpot Blitz across North America.”
