Altenar, the leading sportsbook and iGaming software provider, has announced that it is set to power PalmsBet’s global operations.

This deal sees Altenar bolster their standing as one of the leading tech providers in Europe, with its reputation in the Balkan region at an all-time high.

The key focus is on Bulgaria, with the market offering significant scope for expansion with a projected sports betting revenue in excess of €850m in 2026, almost €600m more than six years previously.

Altenar is also set to scale the operator’s Africa operations, which went live in Kenya in December with Peru set to follow in April this year.

PalmsBet is one of the most exciting operators within the Bulgarian market, with over 20,000 sporting events on offer. The operator group also has a partnership with La Liga, highlighting the brand’s strength in football betting across Europe.

As part of the deal, PalmsBet will also be given access to Altenar’s award-winning sports betting and virtual sports offering, allowing the operator to make giant strides in these three regions.

Commenting on the deal, George Mavridis, Commercial Account Manager at Altenar, said: “This deal with PalmsBet is truly exciting given that Bulgaria is a market full of potential in terms of sports betting and incredibly exciting demographics.

“Having gone live Kenya with PalmsBet, the move to the Balkan region for us opens many doors and there is definitely scope to move into new markets in the future.”

Altenar had a hugely successful 2022, with numerous award wins for their unrivalled sportsbook, including at EGR Italy, and a huge player count over the course of the 12 months, with even more growth expected in 2023.

Licensed across a total of 13 major global markets, including the UKGC and MGA, Altenar has established itself as the sportsbook provider of choice for multiple leading operators.
