888 inks Delaware Lottery supply extension

888 has extended its exclusive supply agreement with the Delaware Lottery for a further two years through to 2022. 888 has partnered with Delaware Lottery since 2013, with customers in the First State afforded access to online casino and poker games via 888’s technology. 888’s interstate poker network also allows Delawareans to compete against fellow poker players in New Jersey and Nevada. Yaniv Sherman, SVP of business development at 888, said the company was continuing to explore potential growth opportunities in the US following the extension. Sherman added: “This contract extension demonstrates the strength of our relationship with the Delaware Lottery as well as the quality of our outstanding technology platform. The State of Delaware has been a pioneer in the developing US igaming market and we are delighted to further extend our partnership. “888 has been committed to the US igaming market for several years. We remain incredibly excited by the growth potential for the business across both our B2B and B2C operations in this developing and potentially significant market,” he continued. Vernon Kirk, Delaware Lottery director, commented: “888 has been a valued partner since the Delaware Lottery launched its pioneering igaming offering through the websites of Delaware’s three casinos.”
