ChiliGaming is an online gaming giant as they own ChiliPoker, ChiliCasino and ChiliBet. The French firm has now partnered with Setanta Sports to launch a new online casino called SetantaBet. This new site will be launching early next month.

ChiliGaming stated that the new site will provide visitors with poker, casino games and sports betting. The site will initially target Irish customers as Setanta Sports is an Irish broadcaster. This will be the first time an Irish television broadcaster has partnered with an online gambling firm to create such a website.

The new site will be suing the Odds Matrix platform of ChiliGaming while the poker operations will be launched under ChiliPoker, which operates under Playtech. Alexandre Dreyfus the CEO of ChiliGaming commented:

“I am very proud and ambitious about our new partnership with Setanta. We are going to deliver both Setanta’s and Chili’s spirit to our players. In addition to the online betting, we will jointly promote ChiliPoker in Ireland and will become the new premium home for Irish poker players.”

“This new partnership with ChiliGaming showcases the potential for a media organization to target its own audience with its own gaming product,” said Michael O’Rourke, Co-Chief Executive Officer for Dublin-based Setanta Sports.
