Pariplay games go live in Colombia with Codere
Malta studio continues LatAm expansion with major deal
Games from Aspire Global’s Pariplay Ltd, the leading aggregator and content provider, have gone live in Colombia with leading operator Codere.
The Malta-based supplier has made its debut on the Codere games tab as part of a deal which will help it cement its position in the growing Spanish-speaking market.
The agreement is the latest in a string of deals that have been struck by Pariplay in the regulated market of Colombia and offers Codere access to Pariplay’s extensive portfolio of over 120 innovative, entertaining slots.
It also ties in with Aspire Global’s overall expansion strategy across Latin America. Pariplay’s sister company BtoBet, also a subsidiary of Aspire Global, is enjoying significant growth in Colombia having signed high-profile deals to supply its sports and player account management (PAM) platform Neuron 3 to Betfair and William Hill in the country.
Christine Lewis, Chief Commercial Officer at Pariplay, said: “We see LatAm as a market with great growth potential and our teaming up with Codere Colombia is very significant in increasing the audience for our games in the region.
“By going live with such a leading presence in the market, we are confident that the performance of our portfolio of games will continue to go from strength to strength.”
Sarit Adania, Casino Product Manager at Codere, added: “Pariplay’s slots will help to diversify our slots portfolio in Colombia and we know that these games are popular with players here.
“This is an alliance that we believe will bear fruit for both parties in a region that is seeing online gaming grow at a rapid pace.”
Madrid-listed Codere operates online in Colombia under its Codere Apuestas brand, under licence from national regulator Coljuegos.
As well as its own games, Pariplay aggregates thousands of others from some of the industry’s best-known studios on its FusionTM platform, which is also equipped with a range of conversion, retention and tool mechanics. The platform is now licensed in more than 16 regulated markets.

As per the rules of the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) of the Ministry of Finance, the certification process for the aggregator platform included content agreements with some of the largest global gaming providers, such as Evolution, Games Global, Spribe, RubyPlay and FBM, among others.

Zitro, a leading global gaming company, has announced the successful launch of its first Wide Area Progressive (WAP) in Argentina, with over 45 slot cabinets initially installed in five gaming halls located at the Hipódromo de Palermo. The product selected for this project is the successful game “Mighty Hammer Ultimate” on Zitro’s premium cabinet, “Altius Glare.”
This system represents the first WAP in South America. A shared jackpot called “Mega Pozo Mighty Hammer” starts at 50 million Pesos and grows progressively, making it the largest accumulated prize in the region. The official inauguration was held on December 19th during the exclusive “Noche de Palermo” event, including a live performance by the renowned Argentinian band Los Totora.
Company Directors commented: “We are very pleased to introduce Argentina’s first WAP at the Hipódromo de Palermo. This project – for which we partnered with Zitro – reiterates Casino Club’s commitment to innovation, always under the premise of offering our customers an entertainment experience that exceeds all their expectations.”
For her part, Alejandra Burato, Regional Director of Zitro for LatAm, commented: “The launch of our first WAP in Argentina is a very important milestone for Zitro, as it confirms our company as a supplier of machines for WAPs. Attending the inauguration event and seeing firsthand how our products connect with players has been a pleasure, providing a unique and different entertainment experience in the region. Additionally, I want to highlight the excellent marketing surrounding the launch, contributing to its success. Finally, I would like to thank Casino Club for their trust and collaboration, which has allowed us to present this innovative proposal in such a renowned and emblematic place as the Hipódromo de Palermo.”
The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, the largest content hub in the iGaming industry, has secured Brazilian certification, becoming one of the first in the market to achieve this milestone.
Regulatory rules for iGaming come into effect in Brazil on 1 January 2025. According to them, platforms, aggregators, sportsbooks, and providers must undergo certification. Companies aiming to provide their services in Brazil in 2025 and beyond have been preparing for this transition throughout the year.
The SOFTSWISS team announces that its Game Aggregator is the first to fully comply with regulations, completing all necessary preparations and receiving the certificate to ensure smooth and efficient operations for its clients.
SOFTSWISS has also obtained certification for integration with the world’s largest game providers – Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Playtech. These providers offer a diverse range of games tailored to suit the preferences of Brazilian players, from immersive live dealer experiences to engaging slots and table games, ensuring entertainment for every type of player.
According to recent Kantar research conducted in November 2024, the overall satisfaction index for the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is 8.1 out of 10. Remarkably, half of the respondents rated the product a 10 or 9. Customer support service satisfaction scored even higher, at 8.4 out of 10.
The Game Aggregator also boasts a key advantage: consistent 99.999% uptime, which is crucial for the iGaming business.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, notes: “According to our information, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the first aggregator fully prepared, both technically and legally, to work in Brazil when the new regulations take effect. This is a significant achievement that the team has worked on diligently and systematically. Our work doesn’t stop here – we are actively adding new providers to help our clients expand their presence in this promising Brazilian market, which is no longer ‘the sleeping giant’. It has awakened, and SOFTSWISS is at the forefront of this exciting transformation.”
To support this high level of performance, earlier this year SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian Formula 1 legend, as a Non-Executive Director, demonstrating its strong commitment to the local market. To ensure efficient operations and promptly address ongoing matters, SOFTSWISS also has a dedicated team of local business development managers in Brazil.
SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss partnership in Brazil and other markets at the first major iGaming event of 2025 – ICE Barcelona, taking place on 20–22 January, at stand 2G42.
