Betr Announces 2024 Online Sports Betting and iGaming Expansion Plans

Betr Holdings Inc. (Betr), the Miami-based sports gaming and sports media company, announced new market access deals for online sportsbook and casino in Pennsylvania and for online sportsbook in Colorado and Kentucky.
The company has already secured market access in Indiana, has applied for a sports wagering license in Maryland, and is currently live in Ohio, Virginia, and Massachusetts with its beta product. Betr remains on track to launch V1 of its Sportsbook ahead of the 2024 NFL season. The announcement comes on the heels of a highly successful 2023 for Betr, where the company launched its real money fantasy sports product, Betr Picks, ahead of the 2023 NFL season. Betr quickly achieved significant scale via Betr Picks – both with respect to paying users and revenue – and has been able to do so efficiently and profitably as the company has quickly become a leader in real money Fantasy Sports.
Betr’s market access partnership is with the Cordish Gaming Group, the gaming division of The Cordish Companies, which owns and operates casino resorts in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Louisiana. Pennsylvania will also be the first state where Betr will launch Betr Casino (pending regulatory approval), its regulated iGaming vertical.
“We are very excited to partner with Betr on the launch of their first online casino. Betr Casino will make a winning addition to the gaming options available to Pennsylvania players, which includes two of our own successful Live! Casino properties,” Rob Norton, President of Cordish Gaming Group, said.
In Colorado, Betr has secured online sportsbook market access with Boulter Developments, pending licensing approval from the Colorado Division of Gaming. Boulter Developments has also taken an equity interest in Betr.
“Boulter Developments is excited to be partnering with Betr in the wonderful state of Colorado, pending licensing approval from the Colorado Division of Gaming. Their innovative approach to the gaming space, along with their intuitive product and rapidly growing media arm, make this a no brainer partnership for us. Further, we are thrilled to be equity partners as we firmly believe Betr is the future of sports gaming in America as they continue to make sports and betting, betr,” said Steve Boulter of Boulter Developments.
In Kentucky, Betr has secured online sportsbook market access with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, who have increased their existing equity stake in Betr previously acquired through an online sportsbook market access partnership covering an upcoming launch in Indiana (pending regulatory approval).
“On behalf of our JV equity stake in Revolutionary Racing Kentucky, DBA, Sandy’s Racing & Gaming, we couldn’t be more excited to expand our KY sports betting market access strategy with Betr,” Scott Barber, CEO of EBCI Holdings, said.
“Betr’s innovative suite of products and user-friendly app are truly cutting-edge technology, coupled with their unique approach to marketing and broadcasting sports related content, creating a differentiated product offering within a rapidly growing market. We are confident our expanded relationship with Betr (Indiana market access agreement) will be a perfect fit in the great sports state of Kentucky,” Scott Barber added.
Throughout 2024, Betr plans on pursuing a phased set of launches of its new V1 Sportsbook product in all jurisdictions it has acquired market access in to date. The company has also elected to not renew its temporary sports wagering license in Massachusetts, trading a 7 million population state for over 23 million in the net new states for collectively less economics than it would have required to renew in MA alone. By the end of 2024, Betr plans on being live in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Maryland, Colorado, Kentucky with its V1 Sportsbook and to be live with its Casino product in Pennsylvania, in addition to the 20+ jurisdictions it currently operates Betr Picks.
“We are thrilled to announce our new market access partnerships for Sportsbook and the introduction of Betr Casino in 2024 ahead of our V1 Sportsbook launch. Through the success of Betr Picks, we have validated that our playbook of simpler and more intuitive user experiences built for casual fans on the product front, and original short form video built for the next generation of sports fans on social media on the distribution front, are winning strategies for rapidly and efficiently scaling a new real money gaming business in the US. The data we are seeing not only suggests that we are building a large and highly profitable real money gaming and media business, but that we are doing so by bringing new users into the category. We plan on replicating this playbook for Betr Sportsbook and Betr Casino after releasing V1 of our Sportsbook later this year. By the end of 2024, we should see a further step change in our scale, while also having successfully laid the foundations of at least four distinct business units: Betr Fantasy, Betr Sportsbook, Betr Casino, and Betr Media,” Joey Levy, Founder and CEO of Betr, said.
“The new states we have acquired market access in will offer Betr Sportsbook the opportunity to reach over 17% of the U.S. adult population by the end of this year, while Betr Picks will continue to be available to over 50% of the U.S. adult population. Finally, we want to thank the MGC for their great partnership during our temporary license period in Massachusetts and we hope to receive the honor and privilege of reentering this market at a later date,” Joey Levy added.

QTech Games sharpens its LatAm focus with MINCETUR licence in Peru

New certification for emerging-markets leader arrives ahead of key industry summit in Sao Paulo and awards recognition
QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has had its platform and games successfully approved for the Peruvian market, demonstrating that its premier B2B platform and all-encompassing content conforms to the latest legislative updates to enhance and regulate Peru’s local gaming environment.
Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism (MINCETUR) has now issued an online gaming licence to QTech Games, whereby all its platform products and games are now deemed legally permitted. This includes its new software service for retail, QTech Hybrid, which allows land-based partners to scale their operations online. QTech Hybrid simplifies transactions by enabling deposits, withdrawals and gameplay while allowing access to players both in-shop and on personal devices.
This breakthrough hybrid solution has quickly won clients and awards in the comparably fragmented African market (most recently in March for Best Innovation at AGE Lagos), and now promises to do likewise across LatAm, where QTech Games has already signed several major clients for both its aggregation platform and its QTech Hybrid solution. This activity has seen it again nominated for Best Aggregator at the SiGMA Americas Awards, which kickstart the SiGMA Americas summit (7-10 April) next week, as the igaming world converges on Sao Paulo for a must-attend conference in another of QTech Games’ “focus markets” for 2025.
Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “It’s fantastic to have certified our aggregation platform in Peru via MINCETUR – and I’m pleased to say we have more such approvals pending across the continent. We attended fantastic events in Rio and, more recently, SAGSE 2025 in Buenos Aires – and anticipate more of the same at SiGMA Americas in Sao Paulo next week, where we’re also thrilled to have been shortlisted for Best Aggregator at their LatAm Awards. Given the venue, Brazil will be dominating the discussion for many at SiGMA Sao Paulo. However, we’ll also be looking beyond Brazilian borders this year, and are already active in Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Paraguay. We know our QTech Hybrid solution will work very well wherever we put a pin on the LatAm map.”
QTech Games delegates will be present at five more LatAm summits in 2025, with SiGMA Americas (7 April) the next port of call – followed by GAT Expo Cartagena (28 April), SBC Americas (13 May), Peru Gaming Show (18 June) and GAT Expo Mexico (28 Aug).
