Blask adds new Latin American and African markets in major update
AI-driven market analytics ecosystem Blask has unveiled a major new update which extends its coverage across large parts of Latin America and Africa.
Blask users can now access real-time data – including estimated FTD and GGR figures – for six key Latin American markets: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Chile and Ecuador.
Additionally, Blask now covers 18 African markets, including South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana.
The new markets bring Blask’s total coverage to more than 30 global iGaming jurisdictions, including many across Europe and Asia, with more in those regions to be added over the coming months.
“Both Latin America and Africa have historically been underserved with accurate, real-time market intelligence. On our journey towards total global coverage, we wanted to prioritise changing that,” said Blask CEO and co-founder Max Tesla. “This data is a game-changer for any iGaming business looking for a competitive edge, particularly in fast-growing, emerging markets. Our commitment is to continue building the product out so it becomes the essential tool for anyone looking to let the data drive their decision-making process.”
The major update is part of Blask’s comprehensive roadmap which will see the platform live with real-time data from more than 100 countries by the end of the year. As well as the new Latin American and Africa markets, Blask also features major European and Asian markets including India, the Philippines, Poland and the Netherlands.
In addition to the expanded market coverage, Blask is also set to introduce a more user-friendly navigation system for countries and regions, that will provide users with a clearer understanding of market changes and regional dynamics.
This is alongside a host of new features and functionality set to be rolled out over the coming months, including game performance and provider metrics; a sports calendar; information on competitor bonuses and promotions; and an affiliate database.
Blask publicly launched in May, with the mission to revolutionise iGaming analytics via a first-of-its-kind AI-driven ecosystem.

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series
Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.
Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.
The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.
The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.
Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.
Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.
“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
