GigaMedia, the Taiwan-based parent of Everest Poker and Everest Gaming, says it has formed a strategic partnership with the Gibraltar-based land and online gambling company Victor Chandler International.
Gigamedia said the deal, focused on sports betting products, would significantly expand the online capability of the Everest Gaming platform. It includes a new sports betting product called EverestBets.com. The new site offers wagers on a variety of sports including horse racing and soccer, and is available in multiple languages, 24 hours a day.
Victor Chandler’s land based operation was founded in 1946. The firm’s sports betting business takes over two million betting calls per year from customers in over 160 countries, 24 hours a day. The group does not accept bets from US-based customers, in compliance with the US’ Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.
