MAHARAJAH SPORTSBOOK FOR ASIANS

Dedicated sportsbook is for SE Asians everywhere


The recently launched Boss-powered Maharajah Club.com online casino (see previous Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa reports) has expanded operations by introducing the first online sportsbook for South East Asian gamblers. The company claims that the new venture is the only online gaming site aimed at South East Asians living in the UK, Europe and South East Asia.

The sportsbook - with a special focus on cricket - is live and will include online betting for football, horse racing/ante post, greyhound racing/ante post, American football, basketball, boxing, bowls, darts, golf, ice hockey, motor sport, rugby union and snooker.

Maharajah has entered into a marketing agreement with online sports betting and casino operator Interactive Gaming Holdings (IGH). The new deal will substantially increase the variety of experiences open to members of MaharajahClub.com and enable Maharajah Club to offer a full-service package to its members.

Sachin Pawa, CEO of Curacao-licensed MaharajahClub.com, said, "Launching a sportsbook was always part of our plan, so we are extremely excited to have it live, adding to our poker and casino offerings. Additionally, since cricket is adored by millions worldwide, and is an especially important sport in South East Asia, we are thrilled to be the specialists in the sport. We are certain our sportsbook will prove to be a very important addition to our portfolio."
