BetGames deepens Betano partnership with bespoke crash game launch
Leading games provider BetGames has created a bespoke version of its debut crash game, Skyward, set to launch with the Betano brand for the Brazilian market.
BetGames’ bespoke version of Skyward contains adapted features for players in Brazil. Along with localised animations intended to meet the needs of its players, the project demonstrates the partnership’s commitment to bringing the most immersive gameplay experience possible.
Skyward is a high-energy crash game that engages players in a captivating plane-based adventure—boasting a visually striking design set against an aeriel backdrop, featuring a range of captivating animations that enhance the player’s enjoyment.
This new collaboration enriches Betano’s offer in the emerging Brazilian market. Potential infrastructure challenges with wait time and stability have been counteracted by augmenting the game which combats limited internet connection and preferences with low data consumption.
The gameplay appeals to all levels of gamblers, with a simplistic yet engaging format. Bravery is still the aim for all would-be aviators, with players reaping increasingly favourable rewards the longer they hold their nerve, with the maximum possible multiplier of x100,000.
Betano’s branded version of BetGames’ latest title is another addition to a line of projects that Kaizen Gaming, Betano’s parent company, has tasked the provider with, leveraging its growing reputation for producing tailored content for operators.
Ian Catchick, CPO at BetGames, said: “We’re excited to bring Skyward to Betano and enable its players to experience a dedicated and localised edition of our debut crash game, which has already received a positive reception internationally.
“With the hugely popular, high-frequency aircraft-themed crash game concept, Skyward brings a new level of excitement and engagement to our extensive portfolio of pre-existing games and opens the door to potential future partnerships in the market.”
Christos Mavridis, Head of Live Casino at Kaizen Gaming, said: “Betano is continuously looking to grow all areas of its operation in a competitive yet rewarding environment. Adding the localised version of Skyward to our catalogue of games, with its easy-to-follow format, is another step towards our ultimate goal – to provide the most unforgettable sports betting and gaming experience to our customers. We look forward to watching the aerial action unfold in our own branded game.”

SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator: Largest Content Hub Certified in Brazil
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.
