Strive Gaming is “the first iGaming platform business specifically set up to satisfy the modern, multi-state requirements of North American operators”, he announced on social media.

Mr Xuereb will run the company as President and CCO, and will be joined by another Kambi alumni in the form of Max Meltzer who will take over as Strive CEO later on in the year.

“Strive arrives into the market without technology debt, 100 per cent focus on the NA market and a dedicated team and operation that is ready for the market and [its] first partners”.
