Betsson Group and Casino de Victoria Receive License for Online Gambling in the Province of Buenos Aires
Betsson Group and Casino de Victoria jointly announce that they have been granted a license for the development of online gambling activity in the Province of Buenos Aires in Argentina.
This latest development continues Betsson Group’s string of expansion where in the past few months saw the online gaming operator enter Kenya, Brazil, Croatia, and Colombia. Betsson Group joined forces with Casino de Victoria for the application some 18 months ago.
Online gambling is still relatively new for Argentina, but its land-based counterpart is a very mature market. Founded in 2005 and part of Grupo Mautone, Casino de Victoria is one of the leading land-based operators in Argentina. It differentiates itself through the high quality and personalised services it offers to its customers. The Group has several sites around Argentina, including Casino Arena Maipu, Casino Valle de Uco, Bingo Victoria, Hotel Termas Victoria, Casino Central of Mar del Plata, and Monte Hermoso Casino. Casino Victoria is unique in the quality of service it provides to its customers
Speaking about this latest expansion, Betsson Group’s CEO, Jesper Svensson, said “Our strategy for Latam is to find local partners who are able to bring the necessary expertise and have solid industry experience and we are extremely excited to have Casino de Victoria as our partners in Argentina for this joint venture.”
Betsson Group will be providing the technology, operational, and marketing support and its know-how on online gaming. “We will start working on the technical implementations that are required for the market so that operations will be able to commence soon afterward. We will launch under our flagship brand, Betsson, and our goal is to start with our proprietary sportsbook, casino, and live casino offerings,” added Jesper Svensson.
As a socially responsible operator, Betsson Group is glad to note the strong focus on responsible gambling in the regulation by the Provincial Institute of Lottery and Casinos (IPLyC) and confirms that it will adhere to and fully support these standards.
Both Betsson Group and Casino de Victoria are committed to the communities they operate in. “One Betsson” is Betsson’s vehicle for local community engagements which over the past months have strongly focused on providing support to multiple COVID-19 related initiatives in Malta, Sweden, Estonia, Georgia, and Hungary. “Sembrando Victorias” (Sewing Victories) was born from an initiative by Casino de Victoria and is the first foundation linked to the gaming industry in Argentina. Since 2016, it has been supporting employability and social inclusion initiatives to improve the standard of living and quality of life of hundreds of people every year. It offers multiple training programs such as masonry, baking, sewing, computer repair, tourism and hospitality, sales and customer service, how to build a CV, and much more.

BETER Secures Service Provider Registration in Argentina
BETER, an award-winning provider of fast betting content and data for esports and sports, has bolstered its presence in Latin America after being registered as a service provider in Argentina.
The registration, enabling BETER to supply its 24/7 live streaming, data, and odds to all licensed local operators, was provided by the Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, the gambling regulatory body in the City of Buenos Aires.
BETER has quickly established itself as a must-have provider for operators across the region with those active in Argentina now able to offer its esports and sports offerings to their players.
This includes BETER’s proprietary ESportsBattle tournaments, Setka Cup table tennis series, and BSKT Cup basketball league. In total, bettors can wager on more than 46,000 of BETER`s fast-paced esports and sports events each month. All matches are provided with 24/7 live streaming, real-time data, and odds, with an average operator margin of 7.5%+.
Operators in Argentina will also be able to use BETER’s Esports Odds feed which offers market-leading odds across 450+ tournaments globally with 40,000+ live and pre-match events per year. Odds are calculated using official data and compiled by in-house expert traders for popular disciplines like CS2, Dota 2, LoL, Valorant, and many more.
Gal Ehrlich, CEO of BETER, said: “We have identified Latin America as one of the key markets for us and we are working hard to meet all demands of regulators in the jurisdictions where we want to offer our products to operators.
“This is a region that continues to evolve – both in terms of player preferences and also the regulatory and legal landscape – and all companies must embrace this and adapt to provide the experiences players are seeking while complying with the rules in place.
“In the City of Buenos Aires and beyond, the demand for fast betting content and experiences for both esports and sports is at an all-time high, and with our suite of products, operators can meet this demand with thrilling content that provides round-the-clock action and betting opportunities.”
Valeria Tarchynska, BETER’s Chief Legal Officer, added: “Our team has plenty of experience in applying for and securing approvals in regulated markets such as Latin America and others. This time, we had the support of the local law firm MF Estudio-Abogados whose guidance was invaluable.
“Receiving registration from Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires is an important step for BETER as we keep expanding our reach across Latin America and further establish ourselves as the leading and official provider of fast betting content, data and odds.”
