Kaizen Gaming Colombia, owner of the Betano.co brand, was authorized by Coljuegos to operate online betting in the country. With this new operator, there are now 16 web platforms that have the approval of the entity to market games of chance online.

“We continue to strengthen the online gaming industry. We hope that, with the entry of this new operator, we can continue to increase transfers for the health of Colombians. At this time, the platform is already operating for the betting public,” said Marco Emilio Hincapié, president of Coljuegos.

The entity is also in the process of authorizing an additional operator called Bingo Casino, which is expected to begin offering bets in the coming weeks.

It is worth mentioning that, by 2024, it is estimated that online betting portals will pay around $419,527 million to Coljuegos for exploitation rights, which represents an increase of 31% compared to the same period in 2023. All of these resources are transferred to the health system.

“We are seeing that online betting is a sector of the economy that has driven the growth of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. That is why we are working to make the market even more attractive and to provide more options to bettors,” said the president.

According to financial projections, this new operator is expected to pay Coljuegos around $21.513 billion over the next five years for operating rights and administration costs, resources that can be transferred to subsidize health and scientific research.

BETER Secures Service Provider Registration in Argentina

 

BETER, an award-winning provider of fast betting content and data for esports and sports, has bolstered its presence in Latin America after being registered as a service provider in Argentina.

The registration, enabling BETER to supply its 24/7 live streaming, data, and odds to all licensed local operators, was provided by the Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, the gambling regulatory body in the City of Buenos Aires.

BETER has quickly established itself as a must-have provider for operators across the region with those active in Argentina now able to offer its esports and sports offerings to their players.

This includes BETER’s proprietary ESportsBattle tournaments, Setka Cup table tennis series, and BSKT Cup basketball league. In total, bettors can wager on more than 46,000 of BETER`s fast-paced esports and sports events each month. All matches are provided with 24/7 live streaming, real-time data, and odds, with an average operator margin of 7.5%+.

Operators in Argentina will also be able to use BETER’s Esports Odds feed which offers market-leading odds across 450+ tournaments globally with 40,000+ live and pre-match events per year. Odds are calculated using official data and compiled by in-house expert traders for popular disciplines like CS2, Dota 2, LoL, Valorant, and many more.

Gal Ehrlich, CEO of BETER, said: “We have identified Latin America as one of the key markets for us and we are working hard to meet all demands of regulators in the jurisdictions where we want to offer our products to operators.

“This is a region that continues to evolve – both in terms of player preferences and also the regulatory and legal landscape – and all companies must embrace this and adapt to provide the experiences players are seeking while complying with the rules in place.

“In the City of Buenos Aires and beyond, the demand for fast betting content and experiences for both esports and sports is at an all-time high, and with our suite of products, operators can meet this demand with thrilling content that provides round-the-clock action and betting opportunities.”

Valeria Tarchynska, BETER’s Chief Legal Officer, added: “Our team has plenty of experience in applying for and securing approvals in regulated markets such as Latin America and others. This time, we had the support of the local law firm MF Estudio-Abogados whose guidance was invaluable.

Award-winning crash game Aviatrix is now live in North America for the very first time, after securing a licence and certification in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Aviatrix has been granted a Gaming-Related Supplier (B2B) Licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), meaning Ontario-licensed operators can now offer the game.

It’s the first time players in North America will be able to enjoy Aviatrix, marking another major milestone in the remarkable two-year journey of the game.

Aviatrix was helped through the AGCO licensing and certification process by BetComply.

Anastasia Rimskaya, Chief Account Officer at Aviatrix, said: “We committed to expanding Aviatrix’s regulated footprint, and this is another huge step.
