British software development company EveryMatrix has launched online bookmaker 888.ru for the Russian regulated market. The new partnership marks the “first major deal” for the “new version” of the London-headquartered firm’s sportsbook.

The new tie-up will see the online operator leverage EveryMatrix’s turnkey platform alongside a product offering to include its sports betting software and platform OddsMatrix Sportsbook with the recently relaunched BonusEngine, as well as payment processing gateway, MoneyMatrix, which via a new partnership deal with PayPal, makes the online payment system available for its iGaming clients in 14 European countries and the United Kingdom.
