Amaya

Amaya is getting ready to promote its new sports betting brand BetStars with the appointment of creative agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky.

The deal is estimated to be worth around £10 million, although Amaya is expected to spend much more than that on marketing BetStars.

Investors have big expectations for the new business vertical which has a strong cross-over appeal to online poker players, and is expected to secure a significant share of the growing market.
