Gaming and sports betting tech company Elys Game Technology announced the launch of its Elys America logo and platform. In its Wednesday press release, the company said the novelty is part of its continuing brand advancement in North America.
Elys operates in multiple countries around the world, with operations in several US gambling markets, including Ohio and New Mexico.
Rebranding in North America to differentiate Elys’ operations from Europe
Apart from announcing a “unique logo” to differentiate North America facing operations from its Newgioco origins in Europe, the company says it is launching:
- A new brand identity
- Corporate website
- Color schemes
- Typography expressing the development of its retail and online sports betting platforms in North America.
Michele Ciavarella, Executive Chairman of Elys Game Technology, said in a Globe Newswire press release:
“To boost our new Elys America brand forward, we created this new identity to emphasize disciplines that are central to our operations and symbolize trust, stability, and positive progression wrapped in a diverse range of advanced betting technology and products while maintaining parallels with our original corporate culture.”
In developing our new platform, we first observed what sports bettors in developing US and Canadian markets are demanding and tracked how competitive sportsbooks reacted to such demands and to peer movements.”
Ciavarella also said Elys development teams focused on two functions:
- Regulatory compliance
- Reporting capability and cybersecurity to arrive at a compliant tech stack offering a luxury customer experience
The new Elys five-dimensional “ELYS 5D” iGaming ecosystem integrates the services in the functional areas:
- Customer acquisition
- Cybersecurity, KYC, AML and multifunctional payment convenience
- Trading, risk management and compliance
- Advanced market events and odds
- Customer service
Subject to licensing and regulatory approval, Elys expects to announce operating brands and player websites in the US soon.
