Published

on

 

BetMakers Technology Group’s wholly-owned subsidiaries BetMakers DNA Pty Ltd and Managed Trading Services Pty Ltd have signed agreements with Supreme Ventures’ wholly-owned subsidiaries Prime Sports Jamaica Limited and Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Ltd.

Under terms set out in the exclusive five-year agreements, BetMakers has secured the rights to manage Fixed Odds wagering (through its Managed Trading Services division) for Fixed Odds bets placed on all horse racing, including Jamaican and international race meetings, through SVREL channels including their online site, at more than 100 Off Track Betting (OTB) parlors and on track at Caymanas Park.

The agreements also secure exclusive rights for BetMakers to exclusively distribute and manage (through its Global Racing Network) all racing data including Fixed Odds for horse racing at Jamaica’s leading race track Caymanas Park (owned by SVREL) to international online wagering operators.

BetMakers has also entered into a sponsorship agreement with SVREL pursuant to which BetMakers will sponsor and have exclusive naming and branding rights to a new trainers pavilion to be constructed at Caymanas Park and be a named sponsor with broad advertising rights at key SVREL events.

“We are excited to partner with Supreme Ventures and Caymanas Park to bring Fixed Odds betting on horse racing into Jamaica and to export the Caymanas Park race meetings through our Global Racing Network to the rest of the world. This new deal again highlights our business model and intentions to partner with regulated race tracks and licenced wagering operators across the world to help sustain and grow any region’s racing industry through a globalisation of racing using BetMakers’ data and technology platforms,” Todd Buckingham, Managing Director of BetMakers, said.

“BetMakers intends to use its products as well as the knowledge and learnings from the vibrant Australian racing and wagering market to work with Supreme Ventures in making Caymanas Park not only the jewel in the crown of Caribbean racing, but also to become a truly international racing destination for punters, which can benefit the racing industry and all of its stakeholders in Jamaica,” Todd Buckingham added.

Gary Peart, Chairman of Supreme Ventures, said: “We are delighted to choose BetMakers as our partner in this venture as BetMakers has proven itself as the global leader in horse racing distribution and betting solutions built on superior technology and integrity-based platforms.

“Supreme Ventures believes that the Fixed Odds innovation that BetMakers has championed in North America will deliver a huge benefit to the global racing industry as it competes against other sports in an increasingly competitive sports betting market.

“We are very proud to be one of the first tracks that will implement the sophisticated Fixed Odds system that BetMakers provides, and we see this new deal as a major transformational change for the Jamaican horse racing industry.

“What BetMakers are bringing to the table for Supreme Ventures and Caymanas Park provides the racing industry in Jamaica with a tremendous boost and opportunity for major growth as well as vastly benefitting the Jamaican betting public.”

Vectiq buys PlayCanada.com from Catena Media as Alberta opens iGaming

vectiq-buys-playcanada.com-from-catena-media-as-alberta-opens-igaming

Vectiq Inc. has acquired PlayCanada.com from Catena Media US, Inc., as Alberta opens regulated online gaming to private operators on 13 July 2026. The deal hands Vectiq a Canada-facing iGaming media brand as the country adds its second major regulated province after Ontario’s iGaming Ontario framework.

PlayCanada.com covers casino, sports betting, poker and slots content across Canada, including Ontario and Alberta. Vectiq said the site’s long-running domain history and national reach make it a cornerstone asset as Alberta’s market launches.

“PlayCanada.com is a brand that Canadians have trusted for a generation,” said Pablo Ferreira, CEO of Vectiq. “Alberta’s regulated market will create an enormous demand for credible, province-literate guidance for players, and PlayCanada.com’s editorial depth and national footprint put us in an exceptional position to meet it.”

Catena Media framed the divestment as part of its MRKTPLAYS+ approach. “PlayCanada.com is passing to a partner well placed to take it further. Vectiq’s Canadian expertise and local presence make it ideally suited to grow the brand as Alberta opens up. This is our MRKTPLAYS+ strategy in action — backing strong partners to unlock more value in their markets. Canada remains an important market for Catena Media, and we’re glad to see PlayCanada.com in good hands as it enters its next chapter,” said Pierre Cadena, Chief Operating Officer of Catena Media.

Vectiq said its portfolio now includes MaxSpinz.com, described as an Ontario-focused casino and sweepstakes review platform, alongside PlayCanada.com’s national coverage. The company said it is building iGaming media properties designed to drive regulated player acquisition through editorial content, SEO, paid media, free-to-play game mechanics and CRM.

Hard Rock Digital announced the official launch of Hard Rock Bet in Ontario, Canada, marking the company’s first international market expansion and bringing its award-winning mobile sportsbook and online casino platform to players across the province.

Hard Rock Bet enters Ontario with a differentiated offering that combines a premium online sportsbook experience with one of the largest online casino selections in the market, featuring more than 3000 games, including top slots, table games, and live dealer content from leading providers. The platform delivers an intuitive player experience, fast deposits and withdrawals, and parlay wagering across fan-favorite sports from around the world. Ontario players will have access to exclusive Legendary Reward Drops at launch, as well as online Unity Points, which can be redeemed in the Hard Rock Bet Reward Store.

The Ontario launch reflects Hard Rock Digital’s commitment to building a truly local presence in Canada. Hard Rock Bet draws on the legacy of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa, which has established itself as a trusted destination in the province. The company has an Ontario-based marketing team and a 24/7 local customer support operation to provide players with around-the-clock service.

“Expanding into Ontario with Hard Rock Bet marks the first time we’ve brought our platform to an audience outside the US. We’re excited to introduce Ontario players to a premium entertainment experience that reflects the energy and service synonymous with the Hard Rock brand. And by investing in local talent, local partnerships, and localized customer support, we’re creating an experience designed specifically for Ontario players,” said Marlon Goldstein, Executive Managing Director & CEO of Hard Rock Digital.

“Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa has the reputation of bringing people together for amplified entertainment experiences, and we’re excited to see that spirit extend into the digital space. The launch of Hard Rock Bet is a natural next step for the Hard Rock brand in Ontario, and we look forward to building on that connection with guests and players over time,” said Christine Crump, President of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa.

The launch will also be supported by connections to Toronto’s iconic music scene, including a collaboration with Canadian artist Choclair that remastered a celebrated 20-year-old track, “Let’s Ride,” to celebrate Hard Rock Bet’s arrival in Ontario.

Hard Rock Bet is available for download via iOS and Android and can also be played on desktop via HardRockBet.ca.
