XLMedia has stated that it's looking to increase growth by partnerships with gaming operators in North America as the sports betting markets are opening up in this region. To achieve this, the company is to focus on publishing content for the top leagues in the major sports in North America. This will include content on the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, UFC, and NCAA.

An example of this is the recent deal with cleveland.com, where XLMedia has a content publishing agreement. As Ohio is due to open up the regulated sports betting market this year, XLMedia will focus on providing premium sports content.

We are delighted to welcome David to XLMedia and believe that, with his significant digital publishing experience and proven track record of leading change, he will be a key asset in helping us capitalize on a number of growth initiatives.
