Stake Expands into Colombian Market with Acquisition of Betfair Colombia and License Approval until 2025

Stake, one of the biggest online casinos and sports betting sites in the world, is excited to announce its entry into the Colombian market through the strategic acquisition of Betfair Colombia and its license, which has been approved until 2025. This marks a significant milestone in Stake’s expansion strategy in Latin America and its commitment to delivering top-tier entertainment to Colombian players.
“Expanding into the Colombian market is a strategic decision that aligns perfectly with our vision for growth and innovation,” said Brais Pena, the Chief Strategy Officer for Easygo, the powerhouse behind Stake. “Colombia’s position as the first regulated market in Latin America, coupled with its stable environment and robust entertainment industry, makes it an ideal destination for Stake’s expansion, with the intention of being one of the dominant players in the market in two years.”
This strategic vision underscores Stake’s commitment to not only enter the Colombian market but also to establish itself as a key player within a relatively short time frame, further cementing Colombia’s status as a hotbed for innovative and dynamic foreign investments.
The acquisition of Betfair Colombia and the granted license underpins Stake’s commitment to providing a world-class betting and gaming experience for Colombian players. With cutting-edge technology, user-friendly platforms and an extensive range of partnerships including being the Latin American betting partner of UFC and featuring renowned brand ambassadors such as Argentinian football sensation Kun Aguero, chart-topping rapper Drake and the Alfa Romeo Formula 1 Stake team, Stake is poised to revolutionize the Colombian gambling industry.
Colombia will serve as Stake’s operational base for expanding throughout Latin America. The company has already secured market access in Mexico and Paraguay through agreements with local operators and it has expressed interest in future regulated markets in Peru and Brazil, further solidifying its position as a market leader in the region.
Stake’s entry into Colombia leverages Colombia’s advanced status and key geographical location, acting as a gateway to the broader Latin American market. The acquisition of Betfair Colombia, combined with the substantial market size, provides Stake with a strong foundation, facilitating a seamless integration of operations and expertise. This decisive move enables Stake to firmly establish its presence and introduce its unique range of betting and gaming products to the region.
“We view the Colombian market as a pivotal entry point for our Latin American expansion,” Pena added. “We are committed to contributing positively to the local economy, fostering innovation and delivering exceptional entertainment value to our customers.”

United States Debut for Evolution’s Crazy Coin Flip and Super Sic Bo

United States debut for Evolution’s Crazy Coin Flip, a unique slot game with live bonus round, and Super Sic Bo, a super-engaging live version of the ancient dice game
Evolution AB (Evolution) today announced the launch of its highly anticipated Crazy Coin Flip live slot and the coming soon launch of Super Sic Bo in the United States. Crazy Coin Flip is now streaming live to players in New Jersey from the company’s live casino studio in Atlantic City and Super Sic Bo will go live on December 7, streaming live to players in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Crazy Coin Flip combines the best of RNG slots and live casino into an exciting and memorable experience for the player. The game features three engaging and entertaining phases; a qualifying slot, an against-the-clock top-up slot and, finally, the live Coin Flip bonus round. This final live round offers all the excitement and suspense of a classic game show as multipliers are accumulated and the coin is flipped to determine whether the winning side is red or blue.
The Crazy Coin Flip launch marks the United States debut of this one-of-a-kind live slot, which has proven to be popular with online players from around the world.
In the hugely popular Super Sic Bo, just as in the original dice game, players bet on the outcome of a three standard-dice shake. To add an exciting twist, random multipliers of up to 1,000x are applied to a number of bet spots, giving the potential for large multiplied payouts.
“Evolution revolutionized the live casino market worldwide by creating the live game shows category with Dream Catcher in 2017 and following it up with many more innovative and entertaining game show titles over the years,” the North America Chief Executive Officer for Evolution, Jacob Claesson, said. “Crazy Coin Flip is a unique first; an innovative live slot game that builds in the live game show experience and we are so excited to bring it to our United States audience for the first time.
“What’s more, the addition of Super Sic Bo greatly enhances the diversity of our unrivalled product portfolio in the United States. The simplicity of the gameplay combined with the engaging use of multipliers creates an authentic game, appealing to a wide range of players.”
Crazy Coin Flip launched with multiple operators in New Jersey on December 4 and Super Sic Bo is due to launch in Pennsylvania and West Virginia on December 7. Both games are due to go live in additional states during 2024.
