Betmotion closes sponsorship with UFC fighter Mackenzie Dern

Betmotion, the leading Latin American gambling site dedicated to Sportsbook, Casino and Bingo games, has signed an agreement to sponsor UFC star Mackenzie Dern.
The contract runs for one year and Mackenzie becomes the latest in Betmotion’s burgeoning sponsorship stable of stars. Mackenzie joins Brazilian legend Cristiane to add weight to the company’s commitment and passion for Latin American athletes.
Mackenzie is Brazilian and has American nationality. She is one of the star draws in MMA and specialises in jiu-jitsu. The agreement grants the use of the fighter’s image on the Betmotion website and social networks, in addition to promotions and sweepstakes, such as autographed items.
“I am very happy to be associated with Betmotion, a pioneering worldwide brand and a leader in responsible betting. We are going to deliver on some incredible projects and I am thrilled to join Cristiane, one of the greatest all time female Brazilian footballers, as part of the Betmotion family. I already want her to teach me some tricks with the ball, while I teach her some blows too (laughs) “, says Mackenzie Dern.
Dern fights for the strawweight and has a strong record of ten victories and only one defeat. She is ranked 11th in her fighting category. Betmotion.com’s Brazilian Manager Angelo Alberoni said: “Betmotion aims to promote sport and search for athletes who make a difference in the field in which they compete. MMA has great appeal with Brazilians and Mackenzie is one of the leading sensations. It is a source of pride for the brand to be associated with both Mackenzie and Cristiane thanks to our sponsorships.”

Peru Reports 40% Drop in Illegal Online Gambling

Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) reported that, a little more than a year after having implemented the law that regulates the online sector, it has been able to reduce by 40% the offer of illegal games in digital platforms and applications.
In a public statement, the Executive portfolio in charge of regulating gambling also highlighted that, thanks to the inspection work, 15% of the illegal websites “have left the Peruvian market” and that “payment methods providers and financial entities have been contacted to block services to unauthorized operators”.
Based on this, Mincetur highlighted that “Peru has managed to position itself as a regional referent in the integral regulation of gambling” and that, through the normative framework, it was possible to “protect the consumer, guarantee transparency in the operations and promote the formal and sustainable economic development”.
The Ministry highlighted that with the implementation of Law No 31557, which regulates sports betting and online games, “the country became the third country in Latin America to establish clear regulations for this activity”.
“Since its entry into force in February 2024, 60 technological platforms have been authorized and 280 linked service providers have been registered, as well as the accreditation of nine international certification laboratories,” Mincetur said.
In this regard, the Ministry stated that “this regulation has made it possible to formalize the digital sector, promoting an environment of trust for both operators and users.” At the same time, it has allowed “new investment opportunities, boosting the digitalization of entertainment and strengthening the country’s tax collection”.
