The Canadian Gaming Association announced on July 10 that South African-headquartered virtual sports company Kiron Interactive has joined as its newest member.

Kiron is a global technology and software company that develops and supplies virtual sports and numbers games to a variety of retail and online gaming operators in numerous markets across the world, as well as casinos and lotteries. It provides 51 virtual games to 140 international clients across five continents.

It also offers BetMan Omni, an omnichannel remote game server, which gives operators a comprehensive turnkey virtual sports betting solution, as well as a fixed-odds betting platform that allows players to bet on virtual games in retail, online and on mobile devices.

In a statement, Kiron said CGA membership, “marks an important step in our efforts to strengthen our presence in the Canadian gaming industry.”

“We hold licenses and certifications in several jurisdictions globally as pre-requisite to operating responsibly in all of our active regions and our membership of the CGA is a continuation of that commitment,” Kiron Co-CEO Steven Spartinos told Canadian Gaming Business.

“It’s crucial for us that our products and services meet the highest possible standards to maintain the trust that our many partners have in us and our content. Not only for player engagement and but also to uphold the reputation we’ve earned as one of the foremost trusted, innovative suppliers and solution providers. We’re delighted to join with the standard bearer for our industry in Canada and look forward to enjoying the benefits of its membership.”

Kiron joins fellow new CGA members

The CGA has added multiple other companies to its membership roster in recent months.

B2B gaming technology supplier mkodo, which has powered the mobile apps, websites, front-end UX and geolocation technology of numerous Canadian lotteries for the last decade, came on board last month.

So, too, did Play’n GO, which joined the CGA a few weeks after expanding its Canadian footprint from Ontario into Quebec.

The trio of suppliers join the more than 70 operators, suppliers, and other gaming stakeholder firms who are members of the CGA.
