Aspire Global and NeoGames to showcase full range of iGaming solutions at G2E 2022
NeoGames S.A and its subsidiary Aspire Global will showcase a comprehensive online solution at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2022, as commercial gambling revenue records continue to tumble in the United States.
Aspire Global and NeoGames offer one of the most comprehensive, flexible online solutions on the market. It incorporates the player account management platform (PAM), a full Managed Services portfolio, Pariplay’s leading casino aggregation platform and BtoBet’s proprietary sportsbook solution. All will be presented to delegates at Stand 2032 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, from October 10-13.
The event arrives at a particularly opportune moment for the Aspire Global and NeoGames group, given the boom in land-based and online gaming and sports betting across North America. The synergy with NeoGames expanded Aspire Global’s reach within the territory, positioning the company as one of very few PAMs with such a wide presence in the continent.
The latest report from the American Gaming Association showed that overall commercial gambling revenues across sports betting and casino hit US$34.27 billion for the year to date, up 15.5% on the previous 12 months, as the rise of seasonal visits served to boost the country’s land-based operators. Land-based and online sportsbooks generated $359.6 million in revenues across 25 jurisdictions, up by 34.5%.
With the online segment continuing to record positive results – combined revenue from iGaming in Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia hit $392.4 million in July, up 28.3% on the previous year – Aspire Global and NeoGames are positioned perfectly to serve land-based operators seeking to maximise their revenue potential by granting fast access to an online presence. The existing presence of the PAM in all regulated states, added to the strength and experience of the best-in-breed Managed Service, shape a product that helps partners to better manage their online operations.
Pariplay’s Fusion® offering now consist of over 14,000 games from 80+ suppliers, as well as a suite of back-office conversion and retention tools to enhance player value. It is licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia and Michigan, with further licenses to follow.
The Aspire Global and NeoGames PAM has a wide presence across North America, being already live in 20 states. Together with the Managed Services offering and the recent GLI-33 certification of its BtoBet sportsbook platform, the complete B2B iGaming offering is now certified in North America.
Tsachi Maimon, CEO of Aspire Global, said: “The market in North America continues to perform very strongly across all verticals, offering fantastic opportunities for the entire NeoGames group. Our conversations with local operators have provided evidence that there is a major appetite for the full-scale platform solutions that we are able to offer, enabling operators to enter the market quickly and efficiently with all the content, services, and tools necessary to keep players entertained.
“Our attendance at G2E will be invaluable in establishing new connections, as we continue on our growth trajectory in a region of huge potential.”

Kambi Group plc signs Turnkey Sportsbook partnership with Latin American operator RedCap
New agreement will see Kambi initially power the operator’s online Betpro and Starplay brands in El Salvador and Panama, with plans for retail and additional markets in the future
Kambi Group plc, the home of premium sports betting solutions, has agreed a long-term, omni-channel sportsbook partnership with Latin American operator RedCap, further strengthening Kambi’s position as the sportsbook provider of choice in the region.
Under the terms of the agreement, RedCap’s Betpro and Starplay brands will integrate Kambi’s high-performance Turnkey Sportsbook into its proprietary player account management (PAM) platform, enabling a seamless sports betting experience. The operator will replace its current supplier with Kambi’s powerful end-to-end sports betting solution, trusted by market leaders across Latin America and beyond.
The initial rollout will see Betpro and Starplay launch Kambi’s technology across its online sportsbooks in El Salvador and Panama, with the agreement also including scope for retail provision and market expansion. Operating under a multi-brand strategy led by its flagship Betpro brand, the operator aims to leverage the strengths of Kambi’s sportsbook with its in-house technical capability and experienced industry leadership team to achieve success in each market.
Werner Becher, CEO of Kambi, said: “This partnership marks an important next step in Kambi’s Latin American growth strategy. By selecting Kambi to replace their existing provider, RedCap has shown clear confidence in our market-leading technology and ability to support scalable growth. We are excited to help them bring best-in-class sports betting experiences to players across the region.”
Oscar Henao, CEO of RedCap, added: “We are thrilled to join forces with Kambi. This agreement gives us the product and flexibility we need to compete at the highest level, offering our customers premium betting experience across all channels. With Kambi’s support, we look forward to launching in Panama and El Salvador and expanding into new markets as we execute our multi-brand strategy.”
Chicago City Council members are reviving plans to legalize video gambling in the city, introducing two ordinances that could bring hundreds of terminals to O’Hare and Midway airports and allow machines citywide for the first time.
One ordinance, introduced by Alderman Gilbert Villegas (36th), targets the city’s airports, where he sees both political feasibility and high revenue potential.
“The General Assembly has provided this opportunity through the casino bill. Yet, we’re not taking advantage of capturing dollars from one of the busiest airports in the country,” Villegas said.
“People are there, in some cases, one or two hours before. If their flight is delayed or they’re making a connection and there is a delay, there’s an opportunity to capture an audience that may not even be going to the city.”
Villegas’ proposal includes a $10,000 license fee per location, plus $500 per terminal. A separate terminal license would cost $1000, with an additional $500 per unit. If 400 machines each generated $800 daily, Villegas estimates annual revenue could reach $116.8 million, with the city taking a share through licensing and taxes.
Alderman Anthony Beale (9th) is pushing for a broader citywide expansion. His ordinance would legalize video gambling throughout Chicago, including in neighborhood bars and restaurants.
“We need to do it citywide and at the airports. We need the revenue and this administration has not shown a willingness to find new revenue that’s not gonna hit the taxpayers in every household,” Beale said.
Beale’s ordinance proposes a $500 license fee per location and a $1000-per-terminal charge for both the site and the machine itself. He has criticized the administration for dismissing the potential benefits, arguing that the current tax formula could be renegotiated with state lawmakers.
“That’s because they haven’t shown the willingness to go down to Springfield and change the formula. I’m hoping that submitting these ordinances will finally convince them to send a team down there,” he said.
