Betsson Acquires 50% Stake in JDP Tech Ltd
Betsson Perch Investments AB, a subsidiary of Betsson AB (publ) (Betsson), has acquired a 50% stake in the software development company JDP Tech Ltd, which owns a proprietary technology platform for handling LatAm payments. The consideration payable for the shares amounts to EUR 8.8 million. This allows Betsson to secure customer payment flows for the continued expansion in Latin America.
In addition to the newly announced partnership agreement in Mexico, Betsson has been active in the LatAm region mainly in Peru, Brazil (acquisition of Suaposta), and Colombia (acquisition of Colbet). Furthermore, Betsson is in the process of obtaining a license for both the Province and City of Buenos Aires. This acquisition will strengthen Betsson’s position even further and support its growth strategy in the LatAm region.
“LatAm is a strategically important region for Betsson and we see great future potential for the company there. With this strategic investment Betsson is well positioned to further expand our business in the LatAm iGaming market,” Pontus Lindwall, CEO of Betsson AB, said.

A subsidiary of Betsson AB has obtained its first local licenses for the newly regulated market in Peru. The licenses cover online casino and sports betting for the Betsson and Betsafe brands. Further, licenses for the Inkabet brand are expected to be obtained soon.
Betsson began its Latin American venture already in 2008 and has since then positioned itself as the most recognized sports betting brand in Peru. In 2019, the Group further strengthened its position toward the country with the launch of its Betsafe brand. Two years later Inkabet, a Peruvian-facing sports betting and online casino business, was acquired.
Besides the new licenses, the Group holds licenses in two other key markets in the region, Colombia, and Argentina. In Argentina, Betsson holds licenses in Buenos Aires City, Buenos Aires province, and Córdoba.
Pontus Lindwall, President and CEO of Betsson AB, said: “We have really looked forward to Peru introducing a local regulation and are very pleased with the issuing of these licenses. With this announcement, we affirm our commitment to the local economy and the new regulatory framework in the country.”

Betsson AB has secured its biggest marketing commitment for the Argentine market, becoming the principal shirt sponsor of Boca Juniors.
Betsson had agreed to definitive terms to become Chief Sponsor of Boca, whose matchday shirt has been sponsor-less since July 2022. Betsson will pay $7.5m to place its brand on the front of Boca Junior’s matchday kit for the next 18 months.
Betsson has chosen not to disclose any “financial terms” related to the deal, but cited that its sponsorship would be based on the “values of passion for football and fair play, shared by Boca Juniors”.
On Sunday night, Betsson was revealed as the new shirt sponsor to Boca fans, during the “Para Toda La Vida” farewell testimonial match of club icon Juan Román Riquelme – played at the La Bombonera Stadium, with Lionel Messi in attendance.
In attendance at the match was Betsson Group CEO Jesper Svensson, who commented: “This is a historic match that will remain engraved in the hearts of all Boca Juniors fans and soccer lovers.”
“The sport and soccer in particular are in Betsson’s DNA; That’s why not we could be left out of such a significant and important for the club with the most titles and most popular in the Argentina.”
The sponsorship sees Betsson expand its presence in the AFA Primera Division, in which the sportsbook has formally served as sponsor of Racing Club.
