Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has announced that it is extending its relationship with Rush Street Interactive with the launch of six Evolution First Person games for the Colombian online gaming market on RushBet.co.

The six First Person titles — First Person Roulette, Lightning Roulette, Blackjack, Dream Catcher, Baccarat and Mega Ball — are all RNG versions of Evolution Live Casino games that are well established and very popular across Europe and North America.

All of the First Person variants will be added to RushBet.co’s iGaming platform for Colombia and are rolling out gradually over the coming weeks for players on desktop, tablet and smartphone.

Evolution already enjoys a successful relationship with Rush Street Interactive in the USA, having partnered with Rush Street in 2018 to launch a comprehensive Live Casino for PlaySugarHouse.com in the New Jersey market. The PlaySugarHouse.com solution includes an exciting mix of live tables including Blackjack, Roulette, Slingshot Roulette, Baccarat and two Evolution exclusive firsts in online live poker for the US: Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold’em. A similarly rich Live Casino offering is expected to be rolled out by Evolution and Rush Street in Colombia within the next few months.

Stake’s Latam leadership team smashes glass ceiling; sweeps awards

Published

on

Stake’s Diana Margarita Otalora has been crowned Leader of the Year at the 2024 SBC’s Latinoamerica awards.

The October award win was the perfect way to mark the one-year anniversary of Stake’s operation in Colombia, which has led the operator’s ambitious expansion plans in Latam.

The victory for Diana, who is GM for Latam as well as the operator’s Colombia country manager, is proof that Stake’s strategy to hire the best talent available in each territory is paying off.

Diana’s team was recently strengthened by the addition of Peruvian country manager Jennyfer Escobar, who helped to secure Stake’s licence in Peru as a result of the operator’s progressive recruitment policy. 

“At Stake, we want to appoint the best people for the role. Our ambition is nothing less than to become a leading player in the Latin American sports betting market.” said Otalora.

“It has been rewarding to find those attributes in my fellow Latina leaders, who are pulling together to propel Stake forwards in Latam’s emerging regulated markets.

“We work hard every day to ensure that gambling in our home countries is both exciting and safe for players, who have come to expect nothing less from Stake over the years.” 

In order to complete the Colombian launch, Diana managed the merging of two teams following Stake’s acquisition of Betfair Colombia, delivering continuity and harmony during what might otherwise have been a challenging integration. 

Diana has successfully grown the Stake Latm team to more than 35 employees and is continuing to grow.

More internal growth is on the cards as the operator looks to build on Colombia by entering Peru and Brazil, among others in the region.

“Working with Diana, I have grown both professionally and personally: professionally, by being able to evolve my role in the organisation from managing the Customer Experience processes to now leading the operation for Latam. Personally, she has guided me, trusted me, empowered me and has opened the way for me to contribute value to the company on a daily basis.

“This is what true leaders do.”

Kaizen Gaming, one of the biggest GameTech companies in the world, had an impressive double-win at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024 on the 31st October in Miami, Florida. Awarded ‘Brazilian Market Entrant of the Year’, and ‘Marketing Campaign of the Year’, the two wins follow an impressive year of growth and exposure for Kaizen Gaming, as well as its premium brand Betano, across Latin America and globally.

Betano is rapidly growing its user base and presence in Brazil, serving as the main and title sponsor of Brasileirão Betano and Copa Betano do Brasil. As a founding member of the ANJL and IBJR regulatory bodies, Betano is recognised for its dedication to upholding the highest standards of responsible gaming and integrity. Furthermore, the Betano brand has launched multiple CSR initiatives across the country in partnership with sponsored team, Clube Atlético Mineiro.

Awarded for the results and creativity of its innovative “Football in America” marketing campaign, Betano successfully introduced Latin America to its “Confia” brand platform by leveraging on its CONMEBOL Copa America™️ 2024 sponsorship.
