Cantor Casino offered players a wide range of online casino, poker and financial betting games. Prior to Cantor’s acquisition, Kismet built and marketed Harrods Online Casino targeting the UK market and running on Kismet's proprietary gaming platform which was rated as best in its class by a leading global consulting firm.
