Aviatrix’s remarkable growth in Latin America shows no signs of slowing, as it has added yet another partner to help bring its popular crash to new audiences in the region, after signing an agreement with platform provider Virtualsoft.

Virtualsoft is already a major name in several Latin American countries, with Ecuador and Peru standing out as its strongest markets. Now, Virtualsoft has integrated Aviatrix into its platform, allowing its operators to offer the crash game to their players and meet the high demand the game is generating in Latin America.

Gabriela Novello, Head of Business Development LATAM at Aviatrix, said: “Another day, another major partnership announcement for Aviatrix in Latin America. We are seriously impressed with the Virtualsoft team and their plans to help Aviatrix reach new audiences across the continent. We share their ambitious vision and we’ll be working closely with them to help deliver it to online casino players.”

Alejandro Velez, General Manager at Virtualsoft, said: “Our partners expect the very best content on the market, so it was a simple decision to add Aviatrix to our offering. Crash games are quickly growing in popularity, and Aviatrix adds something new to the genre with its features and gameplay. This is the start of a great partnership.”

BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, was recognized as Sports Betting Operator of the Year and Employer of the Year at the EGR North America Awards 2024. The EGR North America Awards, hosted in New York City on June 27, celebrate excellence in the North American online gaming industry and are considered the premier gaming awards.

“Winning two EGR North America Awards is a tremendous honor. We have a passionate team at BetMGM dedicated to delivering best-in-class betting experiences which saw exponential leaps in capability this year with unparalleled omnichannel opportunities, enhanced user interface and increased brand visibility. These awards are a tribute to all the hard work and the strong culture that we are building at BetMGM,” Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of BetMGM, said.

Sports Betting Operator of the Year is awarded to the operator that brought innovation to the sports betting sector, provided a high-quality player experience and showed evidence of real growth via mobile and web. BetMGM was acknowledged for its ability to innovate and differentiate in a crowded industry, successfully forming strategic partnerships with X and Marriott Bonvoy and capitalizing upon its unique omnichannel advantage in Las Vegas during Super Bowl LVIII. BetMGM parent company Entain’s acquisition of sports pricing and analytics firm Angstrom in 2023 fueled the expansion of BetMGM’s betting library, allowing the operator to produce a broader and more exciting product for the customer.

The Employer of the Year award recognizes the operator or affiliate that demonstrated its commitment to organizational performance improvement through investment in the recruitment, personal and skills development, and motivation of every employee. On the heels of being recognized as a one of this year’s Best Workplaces in New York by Great Place To Work and Fortune, BetMGM once again proved it is building a workplace to attract and retain top talent in the rapidly growing iGaming and sports betting industry. BetMGM prides itself on being an inclusive, value-driven organization that prioritizes true transparency and two-way communication with weekly, virtual all-hands forums and active employee resource groups. In 2023, BetMGM optimized onboarding, enhanced training programs, continued diversity and inclusion learning, and focused on career development and strategic in-sourcing.
