Like other parties that have partnered with the Colombian unicorn as of late, bookies’ interest in the startup stems from its large user base.
“With this new channel, not only do we provide a friendly and familiar experience to users, but we also find an ally to grow within the industry by connecting with current and potential users in one single place,” says Alvaro Mosquera, Country Manager of Rivalo.
The partners also state their team-up will grant a layer of transparency to gambling and deter money-laundering and other illicit activities. And that’s true enough… but gambling is still gambling no matter how you sugar coat it.
