Altenar expands Bulgarian offering with Magic Bet sportsbook partnership
World-leading turnkey solution provider enhances Balkans footprint with new deal
Altenar, the leading sportsbook and iGaming software supplier, has secured an agreement with Bulgaria operator, Magic Bet, to supply its industry-pioneering products for online use.
The strategic partnership will enable Altenar to bolster its position within the Balkans region, following its launch in the market earlier this year, by integrating its award-winning technology onto Magic Bet’s platform and increasing the operator’s reputation to become one of the most revered in Bulgaria.
Initially, the partnership will be online with Magic Bet, with the operator benefitting from Altenar’s wide-ranging portfolio, including Virtual Sports amongst its interactive Bonus offering for its clients.
With plans for further growth in the pipeline outside of Bulgaria in the coming years, the online deal is set to see Magic Bet develop its odds offering and risk management, while establishing the brand as a leading sportsbook in its jurisdiction.
This agreement caps a successful start to 2024 for Altenar, extending its footprint across multiple regions thanks to numerous operator partnerships worldwide.
Panagiotis Lantzas, Account Manager at Altenar, said: “Bulgaria is a key region for us as we look to expand our offering across the Balkans and we are delighted to agree a deal with Magic Bet, one of the space’s leading operators.
“Magic Bet has some ambitious plans ahead and, with our cutting-edge technology, the operator will be able to enhance its success across Bulgaria and we look forward to a fantastic journey with them.”
Plamen Dzhedzhev, CEO at Magic Bet, said: “Altenar has a reputation for world-class technology and we are excited to be going into 2024 with this deal signed.
“This integration will see us become one of the top online operators within the territory and we are thrilled to be able to offer a wide range of verticals to our customers.”

The collaboration officially launched in the second half of November, bringing a selection of SYNOT Games’ top-performing titles to Swiss players.

BNDRY Announced as the Next Innovation to Feature at Pitch! – Regulating the Game 2026 Sydney
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Pitch! @RTG is designed to surface transformative ideas — a crucible where technology meets real-world regulatory challenges, where compliance is re-engineered for purpose, and where new approaches to governance and sector leadership are tested in front of regulators, operators and innovators.
BNDRY exemplifies this mission. As pubs and clubs come under heightened scrutiny under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) Act, BNDRY has partnered with Cherryhub to deliver a compliance platform purpose-built for the operational realities of hospitality venues. Rather than retrofitting systems designed for banks, BNDRY and Cherryhub have engineered a solution for gaming floors, member-based venues and mixed-cash environments.
Many venues grapple with fragmented systems and the complexity of monitoring both carded and uncarded play. BNDRY and Cherryhub tackle this head-on. The platform integrates gaming machine data, member and visitor profiles, and frontline observational inputs into a single operational dashboard — providing clarity and automation where venues have long struggled.
The platform streamlines and automates the core AML/CTF obligations that pubs and clubs need to do continuously:
• Knowing members, visitors and staff
• Monitoring behaviour and transactions to detect anomalies
• Reporting to AUSTRAC
• Securely storing compliance records for seven years.
This new approach bridges the gap between bank-grade compliance capability and the fast-paced, people-driven realities of pubs and clubs — offering a scalable, auditable and future-ready solution as regulatory expectations continue to rise.
“BNDRY is a standout example of the practical innovation Pitch! was built to spotlight. Pitch! exists to surface the RegTech, policy and research innovations the sector often doesn’t know are out there — a crucible where ideas, technology and regulatory practice are tested and refined. That mix of capability and imagination is exactly what will strengthen regulatory outcomes and uplift the sector,” said Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch and founder of Regulating the Game.
“Australia’s pubs and clubs are facing financial crime risks and compliance expectations unlike anything before, and AUSTRAC’s focus on the sector is only intensifying. Venues need solutions built for their operational realities — not repurposed bank tech — which is why we built BNDRY. Through our partnership with Cherryhub, we’re integrating data from multiple systems, reconciling player activity, and automating the heavy lifting, to make AML/CTF compliance operationally achievable while showing what’s possible when purpose-built technology meets real-world challenges,” said John Rayment, CEO of BNDRY.
