Betsson becomes an Official Sponsor of Colo Colo in 2022

 

Chile’s top team becomes another major milestone in Betsson’s expansion plan in South America

Betsson Group, the global gaming operator behind the sports and entertainment website, betsson.com, announces that it has signed a one-year sponsorship agreement with Colo Colo in Chile.

Regarded as the most successful club of Chilean football and the only one that has never been relegated, Colo Colo has positioned itself as the most popular team in Chile and the top winner of the Chilean First Division with 32 titles. This sponsorship marks another step in Betsson’s international brand strategy of partnering with local and international reputable sport competitions.

During 2021, Betsson Group has been very active in sponsorships in Latin America. Besides being the official regional sponsor of CONMEBOL Copa América 2021, Betsson also became the naming sponsor of Peru’s Liga 1 and of the Campeonato de Ascenso in Chile. Betsson is also the betting partner of La Roja on a digital level, making it the first sponsor in this category for the Chilean National Team.

Betsson’s support for South American football has now extended to Colo Colo which is the only Chilean team that has won the prestigious Copa Libertadores. This South American premier club football tournament, organised by CONMEBOL, returns this year with Colo Colo once again being one of the participating teams.

Andrea Rossi, Commercial Director for South America at Betsson Group said, “In our drive of expanding in the region, we are also partnering up with local football clubs which we can support and grow. Besides allowing us to further strengthen our brand awareness in the region, it also gives back to the clubs, allowing them to invest more in their players, staff and facilities making the sport we all love – football – more electrifying.”

The global sponsorship agreement between Colo Colo and Betsson Group will cover the 2022 season with the possibility of renewal. Once Colo Colo is back on the field, the renowned team’s jersey will sport Betsson’s logo on the sleeve, fully respecting the historical colors of the club, adapting to black and white in its home and away version.

Likewise, at Colo Colo, President Edmundo Valladares appraised the agreement. “We are very pleased about this sponsorship. Colo Colo is once again synonymous of great and good and attracting such commercial agreements. This helps us in positioning ourselves as a very valuable institution, both from a sportive point of view and certainly also on the global arena which we, as leaders of football on a national level must have.”

On his part, the Commercial Manager of Colo Colo, Samuel Pérez, said that “We are very proud to welcome one of the most important gambling operators in the world, Betsson, to our family of sponsors. We consider this agreement as a milestone and the beginning of a new stage for the club. Associating with a company with 55+ years of international experience will undoubtedly help us to improve Colo Colo’s positioning at a regional and global level.”

Rubens Barrichello to Open SiGMA Americas 2025 with a Keynote Speech

 

Legendary motorsport racer and SOFTSWISS’ Non-Executive Director in Latin America Rubens Barrichello is taking the stage at SiGMA Americas 2025 with an inspiring keynote speech on 8 April, the opening day of the summit.

This will be Barrichello’s first major public engagement as an official SOFTSWISS representative at SiGMA Americas. In his speech, he will spotlight his vision of racing and iGaming – two worlds defined by speed, precision and passion. Attendees can expect a unique view of how these seemingly distant industries are more connected than it may seem.

In his keynote, Barrichello will share insights that bridge his personal racing journey with the opportunities presented by SOFTSWISS. The speech will also cover the cultural and human elements of doing business in Latin America, and the importance of timing, connections, and adaptability to achieve long-term success in this booming market.

“Latin America is a unique region filled with pure energy, emotion, and drive,” said Rubens Barrichello, Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS. “The iGaming industry here is moving so fast, that for me it’s like stepping into a new race. But instead of cars, it’s technology, competition, and innovation pushing the progress forward, just like in Formula 1. I can’t wait to speak at the SiGMA Americas Summit and share what it takes to grow business on this continent.”

Barrichello’s active public engagement highlights SOFTSWISS’ strategic expansion into Latin America, one of the fastest-growing iGaming markets in the world. The company has already established itself in the region through certification in Brazil and Peru for its Game Aggregator and Jackpot Aggregator. In addition, SOFTSWISS recently partnered with rising talent Eduardo Barrichello for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship.
