Award-winning provider highlights vast Latin American expertise at show

Full-service betting and gaming platform provider Sportingtech has introduced some of its newly-appointed Latin American team at this year’s BiS SiGMA Americas, showcasing how its local know-how and intuitive products can elevate any operator’s position in the region.

On-hand for the duration of the event in Sao Paulo was Marina Selmi, Latin America Regional Sales Manager, who outlined the full power of the supplier’s solution. Sportingtech’s expertise in the Latin American market was on display to more than 10,000 delegates, with the company boasting a comprehensive understanding of customer preferences across the region.

Laura Manzella, Senior Account Manager, was also present to provide insight on the current landscape. Manzella was able to inform partners of the latest regulatory updates and detailed the provider’s most recent technological developments to highlight its robust products.

Sportingtech has made great strides in developing its Latin America-facing team in recent months, with boots-on-the-ground personnel keeping abreast of the changing legislative scene to ensure compliance.

The supplier places a huge emphasis on its people and takes pride in fostering a collaborative and supportive culture. To coincide with this, there have been several key hires in senior positions across the company to help accelerate growth, following Chief Executive Officer Tom Ustunel’s appointment in December of 2023.

This year’s event saw Sportingtech pick up another high-profile industry accolade as Ustunel (pictured) won the coveted Chief Executive Officer of the Year award. The win recognized the leadership and commitment he has brought to Sportingtech as the brand is primed for more growth across the globe in 2024.

“BiS SiGMA Americas is certainly one of the most important events in the calendar and we had a tremendous experience at this year’s show,” Ustunel said. “It was important for us to showcase our local team members who have acquired a comprehensive understanding of the region and how we can positively impact the offerings of current and prospective partners. With regulations in Brazil almost finalized and other markets showing unique appeal and growth potential, we are well-placed to exceed operators’ expectations across Latin America.”

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is proud to announce a new collaboration with Brazilian influencer Jon Vlogs. Under the deal, Vlogs serves as the brand’s official LATAM ambassador starting in July.

To celebrate the partnership, BGaming has joined forces with Jon Vlogs to support his “BDJ na Amazônia” charity project, a mission focused on environmental and social impact in the heart of the Amazon. The goal of the project was to engage Gen Z and millennials with environmental issues by mixing entertainment with education.

Continuing the mission in Brazil, BGaming has also donated €5,000 to Instituto Onça-Pintada (IOP), the world’s first institution dedicated to jaguar conservation in Brazil. 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.”

Spintec Strengthens its Partnership with Merkur in Colombia and Peru

 

At the Peru Gaming Show in June, strategic partners Merkur Gaming and Spintec entered a new chapter in their partnership in Latin America. The two companies signed a distribution agreement for Colombia and Peru, marking an important milestone in their collaboration. Their united presence at the show highlighted the strength of this alliance, which continues to deliver considerable advantages to their already winning cooperation across the region.

Spintec’s debut appearance this year was a highlight of Merkur Gaming stand at Jockey Plaza in Lima. The Slovenian specialist in Electronic Table Games (ETGs) featured an impressive range of products that combined innovation, reliability, and performance.  Their Karma and Charisma product lines were the big showstoppers with their unbeatable combination of innovation and reliability. These products are gaining traction and popularity all over the world for a very good reason: they are fully engaging and attractive to look at, while also being extremely dependable.

And the quality of Spintec’s portfolio is already delivering measurable results in the region. 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. It not only underlines the seamless integration of Merkur’s powerful regional presence with Spintec’s technological leadership in ETGs but also serves as a testament to the importance of companies’ growing strategic alliance.

“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. With their strong local teams, infrastructure, and sales support, we are perfectly positioned to take the leading role in the ETG market in Latin America, and beyond.”

As the companies continue to strengthen and widen their strategic alliances in the region, their commitment to joint innovation, market leadership and next-level gaming experiences grows even further. The optimism is based on past achievements, but also on a very positive outlook towards future growth.
