Leading sports spread betting operator Sporting Index has launched a new casino offering, including a live dealer casino product.

Following a successful trial period, the UK-based Sporting Index has made its new casino offering available to desktop customers via two new tabs added to the company’s website. Mobile and tablet versions of the casino options are reportedly in the works.

Last November, platform provider EveryMatrix announced it would supply its Casino Engine solution to Sporting Index. A variety of third-party providers are now plugging casino content into this platform, including NetEnt, IGT and Micrograming. Sporting Index’s new live casino comes courtesy of NetEnt and dedicated live dealer specialists Evolution Gaming.

Sporting Index marketing director Paul Turner said the company was “proud to be extending our range” and called the casino diversification “an exciting step forward for the business.” The company says the desire to launch a casino product came following “significant” customer demand.
