Logifuture goes live in Mexico with Zoom Soccer via Aristocrat Interactive integration

Zoom Soccer is a one-of-a-kind 24/7 virtual sports feed that delivers ultra-realistic, fully simulated matches and outcomes, featuring teams and leagues designed to feel familiar to fans. Built to complement real football offerings, it provides an immersive betting experience.

Thanks to existing partner integrations, it attracts tens of millions of bets every month.

The integration of Zoom Soccer is facilitated by Logifuture’s existing relationship with Aristocrat Interactive. Through Aristocrat Interactive’s digital gaming platform, Logifuture is bringing its sophisticated products to millions of players across emerging markets, including Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Central America.

Niccolo Cassettari, Chief Business Development Officer at Logifuture, shared: “We’re thrilled that sports fans in Mexico will now have the flexibility to experience Zoom Soccer, our 24/7 feed of virtual leagues, at their convenience. Offering both pre-match and in-play betting, it delivers an experience that closely mirrors real football, keeping users continually entertained.

“As the demand for engaging sports content grows, this integration helps operators deliver. With a broader pre-match lineup and a live section constantly packed with soccer events, Zoom Soccer enhances the sportsbook experience for customers in Mexico.”

“At Logifuture, we’re dedicated to meeting the need for dynamic, captivating sports products, and expanding Zoom Soccer’s presence helps us achieve that goal and we’re excited to continue working together to bring the excitement of virtual sports to the Mexican market.”

Malte Hegeler, VP Sports Product at Aristocrat Interactive iGaming & Sports, said: “We are always looking for new gaming innovations to entertain our customers’ audiences.
