Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet has partnered with the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), joining the fight against corruption and fraud in the betting sector.

SkillOnNet, which operates more than 40 brands in multiple regulated markets globally, will join 70 of the world’s leading betting brands under the IBIA banner, each with the shared goal of combating betting corruption to protect the integrity of sport and their businesses.

The IBIA is the leading global voice on integrity for the licensed betting industry. Its Monitoring & Alert Network is a highly effective anti-corruption tool that detects and reports suspicious activity. The association also has longstanding information-sharing partnerships with leading sporting bodies, including FIFA, UEFA, ITIA and IOC.

SkillOnNet operates household brands such as PlayOJO, LuckyNiki and SpinGenie, as well as its Spanish-language brand PlayUZU, German-language flagship Drueck Glueck and Portuguese-language frontrunner BacanaPlay.

The company has recently made inroads into the LatAm region, including the newly regulated Brazilian market, which is a particular focus of IBIA. The organisation believes it is crucial to protect the integrity of the new market, which has the potential to quickly become one of the biggest in the world.

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “IBIA is pleased to welcome SkillOnNet to our association of leading global gambling operators. The addition of SkillOnNet to IBIA further strengthens our position in Brazil, the LatAm region and globally. The move highlights SkillOnNet’s commitment to protecting the integrity of its betting products, consumers and related sporting events by utilizing the world’s leading operator-led monitoring and alert network. IBIA looks forward to working closely with SkillOnNet and to integrating the operator within our global sports betting integrity system.”

Pedro Garcia, Brazil Country Manager at SkillOnNet, said: “We’re hugely bullish about the Brazilian market, but with any young market you must ensure safeguards are in place to protect players and operators. The IBIA does an extremely important job of upholding the highest standards of integrity in markets across the world and it’s a privilege to be part of the organization.”

Blask data shows LATAM casino lobbies diverge beyond Pragmatic Play’s baseline

Brazil stands out for crash-game visibility, while Argentina fragments across 15 providers, according to Blask’s review of five markets.

Blask has published new data on casino lobby distribution across five Latin American markets—Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru—finding a shared baseline of Pragmatic Play dominance but sharply different secondary content patterns by country.

Across all five markets, Pragmatic Play “consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles,” accounting for up to 16 positions in each country, Blask said. Beyond that layer, Blask argues there is “no single playbook” for how operators and aggregators build lobbies.

Brazil is the clearest outlier for mechanics, with crash-style titles such as Aviator and JetX appearing in the top 30, while similar formats are “largely absent” in the other markets analyzed. Blask also points to Brazil as the only country where Pocket Games Soft holds a meaningful distribution share, driven by its Fortune series.

Mexico shows the opposite pattern: the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and a thinner secondary layer. Blask flagged Endorphina as an example of a provider appearing in Mexico’s top 30 but not elsewhere in its dataset.

Argentina is described as the most fragmented market, with 15 different providers represented in the top 30—more than any other country in the analysis—and broader visibility for live and table content. Chile “closely mirrors Mexico” structurally, Blask said, but includes a single non-Pragmatic title with near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies. Peru, meanwhile, spreads remaining top-30 positions across 12 providers, including studios not seen in the other markets and “legacy European brands such as Novomatic.”

Blask’s conclusion is that operators should not assume a winning lobby mix in one country will translate regionally. “Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals,” the company said.

Same providers, different games: Blask uncovers hidden patterns in LATAM casino lobbies

Casino lobbies across Latin America may look similar at first glance — but a deeper look reveals they operate on entirely different logic. According to new data from Blask, all five major region players (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru) share one common layer: Pragmatic Play consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles, accounting for up to 16 positions in each market. But everything beyond that baseline tells a different story.

Crash games cluster in Brazil but not elsewhere

Brazil is the only market where crash-style mechanics achieve consistent visibility at the lobby level. Titles like Aviator and JetX both rank among the top 30, while similar formats are largely absent in the other four markets. At the same time, Brazil is the only country where a second provider, Pocket Games Soft, secures a meaningful share of distribution, driven entirely by its Fortune series. This dual pattern suggests a highly specific local demand profile rather than a regional trend.

Mexico runs on a tighter playbook

While Brazil expands, Mexico narrows. The market shows the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and one of the most limited secondary layers. At the same time, it introduces isolated signals that don’t scale regionally such as the presence of Endorphina, which appears in the Mexican top 30 but nowhere else in the dataset.

Argentina breaks the pattern entirely

Argentina stands apart as the most fragmented market in the region. Its top 30 includes 15 different providers which is more than any other country analyzed. Unlike neighboring markets, where a handful of suppliers dominate, Argentina distributes visibility across a wide range of studios, particularly in live and table segments. The result is a lobby structure that resists standardization.

Chile shows how a single game can outperform the system

Chile closely mirrors Mexico in overall structure but with one key exception. A single non-Pragmatic title achieves near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies, becoming one of the strongest outliers in the entire dataset.This suggests that even in highly concentrated markets, individual titles can break through if they match local demand precisely.

Peru stretches the long tail further than anyone else

Peru takes the opposite approach to Mexico. While maintaining the same Pragmatic baseline, it distributes the remaining positions across 12 different providers, many of which do not appear in any other LATAM market analyzed. This includes both niche studios and legacy European brands such as Novomatic, pointing to a mix of underserved demand segments and alternative content sourcing strategies.

One region, no single playbook

The key takeaway from the analysis is simple: LATAM is not a unified market when it comes to content distribution. The same providers appear everywhere but the way their games are positioned, combined, and supplemented varies dramatically from country to country. For operators, this means that copying a successful lobby structure from one market to another is unlikely to work. Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals.
