SIS and Codere extend 24/7 Live Betting Channels partnership to include Argentine customers
Agreement covers horse and greyhound racing content
SIS (Sports Information Services), the leading multi-channel supplier of 24/7 live betting services, has agreed a deal with Codere to extend the distribution of its market leading 24/7 Live Racing Channels to the operator’s Argentine customer base.
SIS’s existing deal with long-term partner Codere provided its racing content to the Spanish operator’s online operations in Spain and Mexico. Codere’s Argentine online customers will now also have access to SIS’s premium and exclusive live UK and Irish horse racing, international meetings from Canada, Czech Republic, Dubai, Germany, Hungary, Latin America, Mauritius, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, and United States, as well as UK, Irish and North American greyhound racing.
In total, SIS will be delivering more than 65,000 live horse and greyhound racing events each year from over 165 racecourses and tracks across five continents to Codere’s Argentine operation. The live racing action is interspersed with market-leading virtuals, providing Codere with profitable short-form content throughout the day with a betting event every three minutes.
SIS’s 24/7 Live Betting Channels are provided as an end-to-end solution including live streamed pictures, data, on-screen graphics with betting triggers, as well as an extensive range of markets and prices. Codere’s online customers in Argentina will also be able to view live races without the need to place a bet prior to the event through SIS’s Watch and Bet model – which is proven to increase engagement and incremental revenues.
Angel Calderón, Digital Sales Manager at SIS, said: “Having worked closely with Codere, we’re thrilled to be extending our partnership with them and to be delivering our market leading horse and greyhound racing action from around the world to their online customers in Argentina.
“With an event available to bet on every three minutes, we’re confident that Codere’s customers will engage with the multiple betting opportunities that our 24/7 Live Betting Channels provide, with the product set to drive incremental revenues for the operator.”
Borja Mata, Supplier Relationship Manager at Codere, said: “We’re delighted to be extending our existing relationship with SIS and look forward to delivering an enhanced racing offering to our online customers in Argentina.
“With SIS leading the way when it comes to coverage of the world’s best horse and greyhound racing, this is a deal that made perfect sense to us, and we’re sure our Argentine customers will enjoy the multiple quick-fire betting opportunities on offer from the 65,000 live events a year now available to them.”
Compliance Updates
Salsa Gator, Brazil’s game aggregator, secures certification for the regulated market
Salsa Technology’s renowned content aggregator, Salsa Gator, has received GLI certification ahead of Brazil’s iGaming regulation taking effect on January 1, 2025. Among the key requirements is certification, ensuring compliance and trust in the regulated market.
This achievement enables Salsa to deliver high-quality content to operators in Brazil. In addition to strengthening its prominent position in the market, the certification ensures seamless and efficient operations for its clients in the new regulated landscape.
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. These partners offer an impressive variety of games that cater to the preferences of the Brazilian public.
Salsa Gator has solidified its position as a leading platform in Brazil and Latin America thanks to its strategic curation of games that prioritise local player preferences.

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.
