QTech Games recruits David Camacho to take the lead for LatAm markets
QTech Games, the leading games distributor for all emerging markets, has appointed David Camacho to the new role of Account Manager for LatAm Markets.
Camacho arrives at QTech Games after a successful and long-serving spell at Tabella, a global powerhouse across varied igaming verticals, where he proved himself across a range of senior roles focusing on the LatAm markets. At QTech Games, David will drive sales and its existing presence across Central and South America, growing its global footprint in more Spanish and Portuguese-speaking territories.
QTech Games commented: “We’re delighted that David is now part of the QTech team. His extensive experience and network in the industry are second to none, after over two decades in the sector. So, he will prove a true asset to both QTech Games and all our clients, as we will deepen our existing influence across Hispanic markets in Central and South America.
“Recruiting the best localised talent and expertise has always been a central pillar of our strategy. Therefore, we’re naturally thrilled to have David on board.
David Camacho added: “I’m excited to be joining QTech Games, a company with the most remarkable content suite across varied igaming verticals, all delivered via a stellar platform built on bleeding-edge technology. I can’t wait to get started by deploying my business connections and contacts across a region I know so well at such a crucial point in its maturation.
“Of course, when it comes to LatAm, everyone’s talking about the unfolding scene in Brazil, but I’ll also be concentrating our efforts in more mature countries such as Colombia and Mexico, alongside some other opportunities in Peru, another promising territory with one of the most operator-friendly regulations in recent times. Argentina and Chile will also be interesting in due course. Apart from the strong growth in this region, I believe we will be able to fuel it further with our new QTech Hybrid product that fits perfectly in all these markets!”

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”
Esports entertainment company BLAST has announced plans to host two popular esports events in Singapore in 2024 and 2025.
BLAST will bring both world-class Counter-Strike and Dota 2 tournaments to the heart of Southeast Asia, marking a major step in Singapore’s emergence as an esports and gaming hub. Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), these high-profile events will bring the world’s best esports teams and players from all across the world to compete in Singapore.
BLAST has teamed up with AEG Presents Asia, one of the world’s largest live entertainment entities to bring these events to Singapore. The partnership forms part of BLAST’s ambition to create the best esports experiences by working closely with premier destinations and the biggest and best live entertainment partners.
More than half of global esports views (57%) are estimated to come from the Asia Pacific region, 47% more than any other region in the world with the global market valued at $1.6 billion.
By bringing the top-tier Counter-Strike and Dota 2 tournaments to Singapore, BLAST aims
to attract global esports talent, foster local growth, and elevate Singapore’s status as a destination for world-class esports entertainment.
James Woollard, Director of Market Development at BLAST, said: “We are incredibly excited to bring two of the biggest esports titles to this vibrant destination. Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region. Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore. The Counter-Strike event marks the first BLAST-branded event in Southeast Asia and the inaugural Counter-Strike tournament series in the region, solidifying Singapore’s position as a world-class esports destination. We are confident that the international participants and their legions of fans will have a memorable experience in Singapore, immersing themselves in the diverse and dynamic offerings of our city.”
The World Final 2024 will take place from 30th October – 3rd November and will be the first BLAST event to take place in Singapore, followed by the BLAST Dota Slam in 2025. The World Final will be the biggest Counter-Strike event to take place in Singapore, where the world’s best eight Counter-Strike teams will compete for a massive prize pool of $1,000,000 and the chance to claim bragging rights as the best team around.
