Delivering a superior and safe customer experience remains our top priority and we will continue to enhance and innovate our products to provide users with the ultimate integrated media and betting offering. “It’s been a busy year that included securing an exclusive deal with the Blue Jays, executing a first-of-its-kind activation at the RBC Canadian Open, completing our proprietary technology stack and moving into a new 80,000-square-foot office space at the Waterfront Innovation Centre in downtown Toronto to support our growing workforce and operation.
