bgaming_strengthens_latam_presence_via_salsa_technology_partnership (1)Continuing to deepen its international footprint, BGaming, a creative provider of Provably Fair online casino games once again inks a significant business partnership. This time, the forward-thinking team ties knots with Salsa Technology to showcase its premium quality products to players from the iGaming market of Latin America.

Setting its sights on this burgeoning market in 2023, BGaming has so far announced multiple agreements with brands that operate locally. Thanks to these deals, LatAm players can access its attractive portfolio of feature-filled slots, sophisticated roulette and table games, casual games, crash games, and many other adventures.

On top of that, during 2023, BGaming attended a large number of major iGaming conferences in this region, such as GAT Expo, SAGSE LATAM, SiGMA Americas & Brazilian iGaming Summit, and Gambling Brazil.

Unstoppable International Growth

As agreed between the two parties, BGaming will integrate its selection of top-performing games into the Salsa Technology platform. Compatible with the main models of regulatory requirements, the platform includes a bonus system, a variety of payment options, tools for responsible gambling, and much more.

Commenting on the agreement, Eliane Nunes, Head of Marketing & Sales at Salsa Technology

“We look forward to providing BGaming’s hugely unique and engaging games to our customers as part of a fruitful partnership. BGaming’s presence is growing exponentially in the region and it is therefore essential for us to add some of their most popular games to our ever-changing offering.”

Salsa Technology is a supplier with a firm presence in the LatAm market, most notably in Brazil. Its highly experienced teams operate in Uruguay, Peru, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, and Malta, providing support in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Its rapidly growing network of partners includes numerous big names such as Wazdan, Booming Games, Yggdrasil, Amusnet Interactive, VIVO Gaming, Spinomenal, Spearhead Studio, and many more.

A Series of High-Profile Strategic Collaborations

One of the first strategic partnerships that aimed to deepen BGaming’s footprint in Latin America was inked with Dotworkers, getting the chance to exhibit its innovative features, engaging mathematics, and visually superb characters.

A month before that, the provider teamed up with online casino operator Betmexico, which brought players from Mexico the opportunity to check out the finest slot adventures such as Fruit Million, and Wild Cash, alongside other genres from the supplier’s catalog.

September 2023 brought another important cooperation, this time with Betara, a popular Peruvian casino and sportsbook operator. Through this partnership, the studio integrated its collection of over 100 games, including in-demand mechanics and AI-generated feature.

The beginning of the current year was marked with another amazing success, in the form of strategic collaboration with casino software supplier The Factory Gaming. Hosting a massive assortment of more than 3,000 games, this white-label provider is aligned with more than 50 leading content developers.

About a month ago, BGaming announced a deal with Blokotech, aiming to strengthen its presence in Chile and Argentina. Established in 2022 by a team of iGaming veterans, Blokotech quickly positioned itself as an attractive business associate. Its gigantic portfolio of 4,000+ games was reinforced with the addition of BGaming’s works of art such as Capymania, Merge Up, Wild Tiger, and many more.

Evolution and Playtech are both distinguished companies with tremendous clout, which now extends not just to the Danish market but also to Spillebranchen, the industry body that is working hard to establish robust standards in an evolving industry.

Evolution and Playtech to Help Build Safer Gambling in Denmark

The focus of the work is on creating responsible and sustainable gambling practices that serve as guidelines to existing and newly-arrived businesses and the industry body reunites a stardom of companies with a strong and established local record, including Betsson, Betfair, bet365, LeoVegas, Mr Green, Danske Licens Spil, Entain, and not least, Kindred Group.

In an official statement, Spillebranchen welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with Playtech and Evolution, adding to what is already a formidable portfolio of participants.

“We look forward to the opportunities this partnership presents and look forward to a fruitful collaboration that benefits our members, the industry and the countless individuals who enjoy gambling responsibly,” the statement added.

Denmark has been one of the true torch-bearers in the regulated gambling markets in Europe, as the country has been repeatedly cited by EGBA, the European Gaming and Betting Association, as one of the best-regulated and safest markets.

Regardless, Denmark and its local regulator have found it necessary to continue evolving and improving their offer. A recently launched website, StyrPåSpillet.dk, is the country’s latest effort to ensure that there is a good level of understanding about responsible gambling and problem gambling.

The website is geared towards Danish consumers who want to learn more about the country’s gambling industry, but it also features materials and lived experiences of recovering addicts. A big focus of the ongoing efforts lies on prevention, and target the age groups between 13 and 15, which are deemed vulnerable.

Pathological Gambling Prevention Is Key to Industry Sustainability

A recent study conducted by Spillemyndigheden also indicated that 15% of young people aged between 15 and 17 are gambling, thus why the new portal and its materials are paying particular attention to this age group.

Denmark has also extended its land-based self-exclusion program, ROFUS, to land-based venues, in a bid to further strengthen protections and safeguard consumers.

In September, the country introduced a solution called Payer ID which is a new technological contraption designed to offer a more personalized protection through deposit limits but also facilitate the overall gambling experience to avoid frustration.

Denmark has been delivering well on creating a tightly regulated industry which does not alienate local gamblers and does not push them into the grasp of offshore gambling sites.

West Virginia has become the fifth US state to enter the historical Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), availing its gambling population of a plethora of interactive gaming among the other member states of the Association.

Online poker aficionados from West Virginia will be able to engage in gameplay against players in Nevada, Michigan, Delaware, and New Jersey. The news comes about one year after the West Virginia Lottery reiterated its intention to join the multi-state agreement. 

West Virginia Lottery, “Pleased” to Offer Multi-state Poker 

As explained by West Virginia Lottery director, John Myers, by joining the important agreement that was originally introduced in Nevada and Delaware in 2014, the Mountain State is expected to significantly boost the “potential pool of participants” while enabling their players to engage in interesting play for even greater winnings. 

Director Myers took the opportunity to express their excitement that their West Virginia iGaming providers “will now have the opportunity to offer multi-state poker” to their players. 

All iGaming service providers in the state that would like to provide multi-state poker will need to send a letter of intent to the Lottery which will also need to receive the approval of the rest of the member states.

The same iGaming service providers interested in jumping on the wagon will need to work toward obtaining the required seals of approval from the state as well as other relevant member states prior to being allowed to go live.

Current State of Things 

The Multi-State Internet Gaming Association LLC is a Delaware-based corporation responsible for managing the affairs of all member states as part of the Agreement. 

For the time being, Nevada, Michigan, and West Virginia are the three US states offering online poker to member states. New Jersey and Delaware also display their own online poker offerings, alongside the rest of specific online gaming solutions for the full spectrum of gaming options.

The MSIGA is, for the time being, a unique agreement to the United States that does not have a correspondent in the European Union. 

In April 2022, when Michigan joined the MSIGA together with its 10 million residents, Delaware Lottery’s internet gaming manager, and the association’s manager, Rebecca Satterfield, expressed the association’s interest in welcoming additional gaming jurisdictions eager to join the Agreement.
Following the news of Michigan entering the MSIGA, online poker fans in Pennsylvania expressed their optimism regarding the potentially bright future of online poker in the Keystone State, in spite of lacking any official indications of such a plan.

Six like-minded US affiliates have joined forces to form the Responsible Gambling Affiliate Association (RGAA). The newly created body’s job will seek to help affiliate companies serve the online gambling market in a responsible way.

The RGAA is comprised of six major affiliates, including Better Collective, Catena Media, Gambling.com, Oddschecker Global Media, Spotlight Sports Group and XLMedia. The six companies believe that affiliates have a responsibility to promote safer gambling and balance between effective marketing and customer protection.

The RGAA acknowledges the current regulations but believes that improvements can be made. It has organized its goals into five strategic pillars, including the promotion of competitive gambling markets, industry education, consumer protection, advertising codes of conduct and responsible business practices.

The RGAA is currently searching for a permanent president who will represent the organization as it seeks to shape the future of affiliate marketing. The organization promised to release a notification as soon as it makes an appointment.

Executives Are Excited about the RGAA

Representatives of the six affiliate companies comprising the RGAA released statements on the matter.

Mark Frank Pedersen, Better Collective’s chief executive officer of NA said that his team is doing everything possible to empower the industry and promote gambling as entertainment. He praised the opportunity to join forces with other affiliates and promote better standards and guidelines.

Not only is this the right thing to do for our customers, it’s the best thing to ensure the success and longevity of the industry and our businesses.

Mark Frank Pedersen, CEO, Better Collective

Michael Daly, Catena Media’s chief executive officer, also commented on the matter, highlighting the ever-changing nature of the US market. He said that Catena Media is proud to be one of RGAA’s founding members and promote responsible and positive wagering experiences alongside other affiliates that share the same values.

Charles Gillespie, Gambling.com’s CEO, on the other hand, noted that all shareholders in the US iGaming market must understand the critical role of affiliates in helping operators grow. He added that his team is proud to be part of the RGAA and set higher standards.

Meanwhile, Oddschecker’s CEO, Stuart Simms, said that consumers are at the heart of everything his team does. Because of that, he is glad to join forces with the other founding members of the RGAA and promote social responsibility. He said that his ambition is that the RGAA will “support fair play for all.”

Mark Renshaw, Spotlight Sports Group’s CEO, also expressed his thoughts, noting that his team has always been at the forefront of responsible gambling.

We are extremely proud to be a founding member of the Responsible Gambling Affiliate Association, which I believe will play a key role in ensuring the highest standards are set among the affiliate industry.

Mark Renshaw, CEO, Spotlight Sports Group

Last but not least, David King, XLMedia’s CEO, commented on the matter. He noted that affiliates play a critical role in providing consumers with choice while supporting regulated operators.

Swedish state-owned gambling company Svenska Spel announced that it will be parting ways with Patrik Hofbauer, who is set to explore new opportunities. Hofbauer, currently serving as the operator’s president and chief executive, believes that the gambling company is in a good position to continue without him.

The outgoing CEO joined Svenska Spel back in December 2018. He will officially depart from his position on January 31, 2024, to sit at the helm of Telia Company, a Swedish telecommunications juggernaut.

Svenska Spel noted that it’s already on the lookout for a suitable successor.

As CEO of Telia, Hofbauer will depart from the gambling sector he has served for five years. Prior to joining the state-owned operator, the outgoing CEO served as the CEO of the Norwegian majority state-owned multinational telecommunications company Telenor.

Before that, Hofbauer had stints as CEO of Telenor Broadcast and CEO of Clear Channel. An experienced individual, Hofbauer is also a member of several companies’ boards of directors. This lineup includes Clas Ohlson, NHST Media Group, Svenskt Näringsliv and Presto Holding.

The Decision to Leave Svenska Spel Was Difficult

Hofbauer commented on his new position, sharing that his time with Svenska Spel has been a “fantastic journey.” He said that the decision to depart did not come easily.

While melancholic about his departure, Hofbouer believes that Svenska Spel is in good hands and poised for further success. He praised the company’s robust corporate culture and values, saying that the operator will continue to deliver results.

Erik Strand, Svenska Spel’s chairman, also commented on the matter, praising Hofbouer for his hard work as CEO and the multiple changes he delivered. Thanks to the outgoing executive, the company now sports a modernized approach and a commitment to sustainable practices.

Strand also thanked Hofbouer for navigating the company through the reregulation of the Swedish gaming market in 2019 and setting a clear agenda for the company. The chair concluded that Hofbouer truly made a difference.

Svenska Spel is set to report its Q3 earnings later this month.

Hofbauer Is Excited about His New Position

Hofbauer also released a statement on his new position at Telia Company. He said that he is honored to have been appointed as the telecommunications giant’s next president and CEO and is looking forward to further developing the company.

While I have most recently been working outside telecoms, I have followed recent industry developments with great interest, and I am ready to continue executing on Telia’s strategy and move forward with its digital transformation program.

Patrik Hofbauer

Hofbauer will officially step into the office on February 1, 2024.
