BETSSON GROUP’S REGIONAL OPERATIONS CENTRE TO BE IN COLOMBIA

• In the 2022 third quarter, the company had an organic growth of 35% thanks to the Latin American, Central and Eastern European and Central Asian markets.
• Betsson sees significant growth potential in Latin American going forward, including Colombia
• In the region, Betsson Group is present in several countries.
On 22 November 2022, Betsson Group, a global online sports betting and casino operator, inaugurated its Latin American operations centre in Bogota, Colombia. This event was attended by different media and private and public sector entities such as Fecoljuegos (the Colombian Federation of Entrepreneurs of Games of Luck and Chance). With this opening, Betsson continues with its purpose of achieving a geographically diversified growth, where Latin American markets have become one of the main revenue streams.
“Latin America is a special region for us, so I am especially happy about the opening of this operations centre in Bogota. I am confident that, thanks to the talent present in the company, we will continue our progressive growth in the region and contribute to the development of an industry based on responsible entertainment,” said Jesper Svenson, CEO of Betsson Group.
In the third quarter of 2022, the company had an organic growth of 35% compared to last year, an increase explained to some extent by the Latin American, Central and Eastern European and Central Asian markets. Regarding Latin America, Betsson is developing a strategy based on geographic expansion and diversification where this region has an exponential market in online sports betting and casino.
In this sense, in August of this year the company entered the Mexican market, where it perceives a long-term growth potential due to the size of the economy, the population and the low level of penetration of online gambling in the country. In addition to the above, Betsson is the official sponsor of the professional soccer league in Peru and of the Women’s and Men’s CONMEBOL Copa America.
Betsson Group has a pan-Latin America strategy and is offering online gaming and betting services in several countries, for example Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. Besides being the first regulated market in the online gaming industry, Colombia is one of the fastest growing gaming markets in the region for Betsson. The fast-growing online gaming market is driving technological innovation and progress, and is generating new jobs in the country.
“For Fecoljuegos, it is an honour to have as an affiliate one of the most important betting houses in the world. We feel pleased with the contribution of Betsson in Colombia, and we consider that the opening of its operations centre in the national territory shows once again its support to the gaming industry which, through Fecoljuegos, works to have a more competitive sector and which provides the right conditions for its further development. We identify with and applaud their proposal to promote actions of fair play, mutual support, teamwork, and responsibility, which adds value to the activity of Betsson Group in the country”, commented Evert Montero Cardenas, president of Fecoljuegos, who was present at the inauguration of Betsson’s operations centre for Latin America.

The organisation conducts vital scientific research to ensure the preservation of the jaguar across the country’s various biomes.
Kate Puteiko, CMO of BGaming, said: “Our partnership with Jon Vlogs goes far beyond traditional brand ambassador deals. It’s a testament to our commitment to social responsibility, the environment, and Brazil.
“The ‘BDJ na Amazônia’ project aligns perfectly with our values at BGaming, and we are proud to be able to make such a positive impact and to help preserve Brazil’s natural heritage.”
Jon Vlogs said: “I’m extremely excited to partner with BGaming. They are always striving to go beyond, also trying to make a positive impact in Brazil, and this collaboration is a perfect example. Being able to continue my passion for playing while on a mission to help the Amazon is a huge win for me, and I’m grateful to BGaming for giving me the opportunity to do so. This is just the beginning of what promises to be a really exciting and productive partnership.”

The renowned research company Eilers & Krejcik recognized Spintec as the top-performing ETG supplier in South America in their April 2025 Latin America Game Performance Report. This achievement propels the partnership in Peru and Colombia even further.

“ETGs are a valuable and strategic addition to Merkur’s already robust product portfolio,” said Dominik Raasch, Management Board Member, Merkur Games. “Our partnership with Spintec is built on a shared vision of delivering excellence, innovation, and value to our customers. The joint market presence we are creating in Latin America is only the beginning.”
Goran Sovilj, Global Sales Director at Spintec, echoed the sentiment: “Our collaboration with Merkur Gaming continues to deepen, and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved together.
