Peermont is a major gaming and hospitality group that is now entering the South Africa sports betting market. The collaboration with DraftKings will allow the US sportsbook to seamlessly operate in the country.

“This collaboration brings together two organizations committed to providing South Africa’s sports fans with the most dynamic and innovative sports betting experience,” said Shay Berka, DraftKings’ Chief International Officer. “We are delighted that DraftKings’ B2B technology is powering Peermont’s entry into sports betting, through which they can provide their customers with extensive markets, live betting opportunities, competitive pricing and localised payment options.”

PalaceBet will be providing Peermont’s patrons with the best local and international sports betting options. There will be betting lines for cricket, rugby, football, tennis, and basketball. There will also be live in-game betting as well as player props available.

The full-service betting experience will bring South Africa sports bettors the best possible options they can find.

“Peermont has always been at the forefront of the latest trends and technology, therefore it made sense to partner with DraftKings as a leader in sports betting software,” said Nigel Atherton, Peermont’s CEO. “Together we’ll be able to offer a product that lives up to our high standards, and that provides a superior betting experience.”

With Peermont’s long history in the land-based casino market, coupled with DraftKings’ online betting experience, PalaceBet should be the ideal product for legal sports betting to all South Africa players.
