"This launch is an exciting milestone for Amaya," said David Baazov, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amaya Gaming Group. "Our previous experience deploying similar SMS solutions validates the effectiveness of our technology and the strong market demand for such a service."
Earlier this year, Amaya successfully launched an SMS lottery campaign in neighbouring Kenya. Consumer response exceeded expectations, with entries peaking at over 200,000 per day. It is estimated that there are more than 10 million mobile phone users in Uganda.
