Logifuture, a leading supplier of award-winning iGaming products, has entered the Mexican market with Zoom Soccer, via its partnership with Aristocrat Interactive.

Zoom Soccer is a one-of-a-kind 24/7 virtual sports feed that delivers ultra-realistic, fully simulated matches and outcomes, featuring teams and leagues designed to feel familiar to fans. Built to complement real football offerings, it provides a non-stop, immersive betting experience.

With over 30,000 additional pre-match and in-play betting events each month, Zoom Soccer ensures sportsbooks stay engaging – not just during off-seasons but also during quieter moments of the day or week when real football options are limited. Thanks to existing partner integrations, it attracts tens of millions of bets every month.

The integration of Zoom Soccer is facilitated by Logifuture’s existing collaboration with Aristocrat Interactive. Through Aristocrat’s digital gaming platform, Logifuture is bringing its sophisticated products to millions of players across emerging markets, including Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Central America.

Niccolo Cassettari, Chief Business Development Officer at Logifuture, said : “We’re thrilled that sports fans in Mexico will now be able to experience Zoom Soccer, our 24/7 feed of virtual leagues built for sportsbook users. Offering both pre-match and in-play betting, it delivers an experience that closely mirrors real football, keeping users always engaged.

“As the demand for engaging nonstop sports content grows, this integration helps operators deliver. With a broader pre-match lineup and a live section constantly packed with soccer events, Zoom Soccer enhances the sportsbook experience for customers in Mexico.”

Morten Hauge, Head of Sports at Aristocrat Interactive iGaming & Sports, said: “Our partnership with Logifuture allows us to bring innovative and engaging virtual sports experiences to new audiences.

“The addition of Zoom Soccer in Mexico is a great example of how we’re expanding our digital portfolio to meet the growing demand for high-quality, immersive betting content. We’re excited to see how players respond and look forward to continued collaboration with Logifuture.”
