Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and unique content supplier, continues its successful expansion into Latin America upon entering both the Brazilian and Peruvian markets on 1^st January.

This landmark move comes after the company made its highly anticipated debut in the region by entering Mexico in 2021 and Colombia in 2022, bringing its popular content portfolio to players.

In line with its long-term expansion strategy, the studio is now offering over 40 of its top-performing titles to several operators, including Kaizen, Bet365, and Paddy Power Betfair in Brazil and Betsson and SkillOnNet in Peru.

With the licensing and responsible gambling framework in place, Relax Gaming is well-positioned to capitalise on these growing markets.

“Relax Gaming will now focus its efforts on expanding its footprint across this part of the world, aligning with its broader growth strategy in regulated markets.”

Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming was recently named the Best Mobile Gaming Software Provider at the EGR B2B Awards, Casino / Slot Developer of the Year at the SBC Awards, and was awarded GGA’s Product Launch of the Year for Dream Drop Jackpots in February.
