For its part, SCCG will provide general advisory and business development services to accelerate Shufti’s presence in the iGaming sector in North America. With a strong footprint across North America, SCCG brings decades of experience working with operators of every type, from daily fantasy sports to sportsbooks, iGaming platforms, and beyond.
