Kambi will also deliver a presentation of its annual NFL Season Report, to outline behavioral data defining trends in America’s most popular sport.
Among other topics for discussion, Kambi will explore technology requirements behind high-performance sportsbooks and how its partner network data is being leveraged to benefit all partners.

The importance of the US sports betting market for the technology operator was at full display recently, when Kambi announced its 2020 revenues were up by 28% driven by US expansion. Kambi posted a record 2020 revenue of €117.7 million, up from the €92.3 million it generated in 2019.
Consequently, the increased revenue led to a nearly 120% higher operating profit year-over-year, and profit after tax 130% higher than the year prior, as the operator underscored the busy sporting calendar and the exceptional operator margin among other key factors, besides growth in new markets.
