New online casino brand BetCoco launches into crypto betting space across Canada and Brazil after securing licenses

Published

on

  • Experienced industry investment vehicle behind land-based casinos in LatAm venture into digital and crypto space for first time with new brand

  • Curacao license secured with India, Malta, Gibraltar, Nigeria and Brazil next territories on the radar

  • Mike Fox, who led an operation to run 30 land-based casinos for a Euronext-listed company, spearheads the launch

  • Group to pride itself on customer satisfaction – offering Las Vegas-style VIP treatment as well as best in class products such as live virtual reality games

  • Brand not deterred by recent crypto market crash, as Mike Fox says “we’ve entered the markets at a perfect time”

BetCoco, a new online casino brand, has launched this month with parent company Crystal Wealth Group (WG) planning to operate across the globe.

The platform offers casino, live casino, sports and esports betting to its customers, as well as incorporating virtual reality rooms for the likes of blackjack, roulette and live sports, so players can immerse themselves in the experience.

The project, led by Mike Fox – former CFO of Thunderbird Resorts, is part of a team who have 15+ years experience in launching Las Vegas-style land-based and online casinos in several emerging markets.

Crystal WG are aiming to create a new user experience offering “more thrill” for customers – something they believe many iGaming operators have lost in their brand promotions in recent years.

They aim to reward customers through various means such as via loyalty points to redeem special rewards, attractive bonuses, and exclusive offers/tournaments.

BetCoco has so far launched its cryptocurrency offering, with fiat to follow, in Canada and much of Latin America before its services will be provided in Brazil and India.

The company currently has a Curacao sub-license as a white label operator and are in the process of procuring their own Curacao license.  They also plan to procure a Malta and Gibraltar license.  They plan to obtain national licenses in Nigeria and Ghana in the short term with long term plans for licensing in certain EU markets, plus identifying parts of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa as opportunities for the future.

Mike Fox, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at Crystal WG, said: “BetCoco is a fun brand that offers a fabulous player experience with the leading games and services that the industry has to offer.  Innovation is at the foundation of everything we do through creating the best features to continuously improve our user experience.

“We are launching with crypto, with fiat soon to follow, and are deploying exciting paid media marketing and affiliate campaigns to let the markets know about us.

“The foundation of our vision is a passion for casino wagering and sports betting backed by very strong operational experience in both land-based casinos, sportsbooks, and the iGaming industry.

“Our plan is based on working with the top providers in the industry to build the best core iGaming platform possible that gives us the launching pad to offer multiple brands to multiple markets.

“With the market expected to reach USD 154 billion by 2030, we view BetCoco as our first step into this exploding worldwide market where we hope to earn a meaningful share.”

Crystal Wealth worked in partnership with global marketing and digital specialists Digital Fuel Performance to launch the website of BetCoco.

Following launch, Digital Fuel Performance have been appointed to manage full-service digital marketing and acquisition for BetCoco in both fiat and cryptocurrencies.

Nick McClagish, Group Account Director for Digital Fuel Performance said:

“Crystal Wealth Group appointed Digital Fuel Performance to advise on and execute all aspects of the launch of their flagship casino brand, BetCoco, with a focus on their digital marketing and acquisition objectives, forming a long-term partnership with the joint objective of maximising revenue growth in a range of territories.

“The Crystal Wealth team match our ambition and belief in the potential of cryptocurrency betting and gaming to grow exponentially. Our specialist digital insight matched with their deep understanding of specific LATAM territories and their needs is a perfect match to support our joint bid to make the BetCoco casino brand the best experience possible for customers globally.”

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

 

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.

Let me be perfectly clear

Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.

Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.

We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.

We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.

To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.

 

Sincerely
