The North American Sportsbook Expansion Draws Bettors, Operators And Providers To New Thrill Betting… Or Does It?
With the growing demand for online gambling, and most importantly, sports betting in the US, it’s no wonder that the likes of sportsbook software provider, Altenar, are receiving vast interest in the North American market.
Given the success that Altenar has achieved in the LatAm market, the growth of sports betting traversing the continent is no shock to experts in the iGaming industry.
The online gambling market is seeing great success within its American industry and with greater access and legalisation of sports betting throughout the country Altenar would be interested in entering the market, as most software providers would be and given the climate was right.
Given the recent ignition of a sports betting new wave, the addition and fast-application of Esports is growing in the region, so much so, that operators in the market are currently having to compete heavily for bettor attention and this is creating an interestingly bullish market.
According to reports illustrated by Bloomberg, current operators in the states are offering risk-free bets that have spurred-on and curated a market where bettors are looking for ‘the next edge’ in sports betting. The worry is that many bettors will eventually site-surf for the best odds, deals and risk-free bets they can find, and eradicate the traditional and term-defining aspect of sports betting and that’s the essence of gambling.
Though, in large, industry professionals believe those promotions will help bring new-generation customers to the sports betting market and so far, it appears to have worked in a mass of states as demonstrated by the map below.
What Could Altenar’s Software Do To Address Site-Surfing Bettors?
With the move to online gambling in full-swing, as of 2018, in North America the desire to keep bettors on your website is growing in line with the popularity of iGaming. Countless punters will log on to a site and are drawn to the content they love, sports betting.
If Altenar was able to operate within the region their sports betting software would be the perfect fit for North American operators.
For this reason Altenar’s sportsbook software could be the answer American operators are looking for because it reduces the need for bettors to site-surf and this is thanks to Altenar’s flexible and stable software.
With having access to several data providers, risk management systems and a customisable front-layer, operators are able to tailor their content and sports betting experience to the niche requirements and likes of their customers.
Amongst these reasons, Altenar has become popular within Latin America, because the content they display can be changed through a manual-aspect backend and is available via mobile, desktop and terminal should the region require it.
This flexibility entrenches Altenar’s software and in creating a bespoke experience for operators and customers alike, Altenar is able to create return clientele, who are happy and satisfied with the state-of-the-art content and service they receive.
If you’re looking to understand the scope of the North American market, you can contact Altenar today to request a demo or simply for a chat.
The team behind the sportsbook software provider have an abundance of industry expertise and experience behind them, and this has created thousands of happy customers around the world.

Altenar accelerates LatAm growth with appointment of new regional Sales Manager
Frederico Caputi brings more than a decade of experience in business development, media planning and events to Brazil office
Altenar, a leading sportsbook and iGaming software provider, has grown its LatAm commercial team with the addition of new Sales Manager, Frederico Caputi.
Frederico brings more than 10 years of experience from strategic roles in sales, business development and affiliate marketing with giants such as Google and Groupon. He also holds vast iGaming and sports betting experience across a varied international landscape, equipping him to offer the deep understanding needed to win in the Brazilian market.
In this new role, Frederico will be based in Brazil and will leverage his knowledge to drive growth for Altenar by fostering relationships with sportsbook operators and partners, negotiating high-value deals and analysing the competitive LatAm landscape from within to inform business strategy.
Altenar began strengthening its leadership team earlier this year with the appointment of Sales Director Sam Hill, who currently focuses on regions including LatAm and Europe. Frederico joins Altenar’s 500-strong employee base as the company seeks to grow its foothold across the rapidly evolving LatAm region.
Charlie Williams, Commercial Director at Altenar, said: “We are delighted to welcome Fred to Altenar at this pivotal time in the industry’s history. His strategic approach and wide-ranging experience means he will bring valuable insights and leverage his contacts to build our position in this highly competitive market.
“Along with a robust and compelling product line-up, it is our people that set us apart and by building such a strong team, we are confident we can meet the needs our operators looking to break into Brazil.”
Frederico Caputi, Sales Manager at Altenar, said: “There couldn’t be a more exciting time to join Altenar, with Brazil’s regulated market inching closer to completion. The potential for Altenar to expand its presence in Brazil and offer localised solutions tailored to the unique demands of the market is immense.
“The market’s untapped potential combined with Altenar’s strong capabilities makes this an exciting time to be involved in the iGaming sector in Brazil. I look forward to working with the wider sales team to drive unprecedented growth for Q4 and beyond.”

Altenar releases new Ganagol tool as key differentiator for LatAm markets
Altenar, the leading sportsbook and iGaming software supplier, has upgraded its compelling betting tools offering with the introduction of a new Ganagol game.
The latest addition to Altenar’s software is an alternative form of sports betting which boosts engagement and brand loyalty for operators. Rather than betting on individual events, Ganagol allows players to pay an entry fee for the chance to predict the outcome of a series of events for prizes.
By using the new tool, which is also known as Toto in some parts of the world, players can predict the result of a series of football fixtures, with a clean sweep of correct outcomes winning a large prize, while a specific number of results lands them smaller rewards.
Altenar’s operator partners will also be able to choose the format of the game, including match results or correct scores, to meet their needs, as well as customising the payout structure to allow for weekly prizes or rollover jackpots.
A percentage of the entry fee can be added to the category payments, meaning the prize pot increases in line with the number of participants, adding a sense of anticipation as the potential winnings rise. To add further interest, players can also predict the range of goals scored in the same set of fixtures.
This new release serves as a significant differentiator for operators with an eye on global expansion, with the product particularly popular in LatAm.
Dinos Doxiadis, Sportsbook Product Development Manager at Altenar, said: “This is an uplift of a product that has had great adoption in LatAm.
“The new functionalities give our operators more options to increase user engagement, retention and acquisition. We believe that it is by far the most sophisticated tool of its kind across the industry.”

Mexico in 2024: Committed to the cause
Mexican bettors demand localization on a different scale. An American approach to sports betting means they differ from other LatAm markets that have moved to decimal or fractional odds. As the population increasingly embraces a mobile-first approach, Altenar’s Sales Manager, Diego Salas, explores why the provider is best placed to meet the unique needs of Mexican operators in the flourishing market.
What is your view of the market at the moment and what makes it so promising?
Over the past three years, Mexican operators have experienced a significant migration from predominantly land-based, brick and mortar operations to an online-focused business model. As a result, more than 70% of sports betting revenue now comes from online customers, with internet and smartphone adoption becoming more widespread across LatAm’s second largest population. The increase in mobile penetration follows the emergence of a younger, more tech-savvy demographic with a median age of 30. They are engaging in sports betting in a more social way.
In keeping with this shift online, we entered 2024 with the release of our white-label mobile app which can be customized and places the sportsbook at its core. Approved across Apple Store and Google Play, it offers accelerated time to market, robust security and options for features such as Early Payout, Bet Builder and Player Specials. The mobile and online channels appeal to a new generation of bettors that require accessible, easy to follow sportsbook products at their fingertips. The app promises an ever-increasing number of sports and competitions with a network of official data partners delivering both quality and speed of data.
How does Mexico differ from its neighbouring markets?
Mexico is a distinct market compared to other Latin American countries and stands out due to its diverse sports culture. It is well known that soccer is the most popular sport in LatAm and at least 90% of bets still come from matches. However, in Mexico, bettors’ tastes are more diverse. Football sits among basketball, baseball, and the NFL as highly popular sports.
Unlike some of its neighbours, Mexico uses an American approach to odds, instead of the European decimal and fractional odds format. Altenar anticipated this difference by offering a flexible, localized platform to cater to specific preferences of Mexican players. Its user interface for Mexican players offers an American odds format to demonstrate provide intuitive navigation.
What will 2024 look like for Altenar in Mexico?
There can be no doubt that LatAm is a major topic of discussion in the industry. The gates are set to swing open to Brazil later in the year and Mexico itself is awaiting some regulatory updates following the legalization of online betting in 2014. As a result, Altenar acknowledges the need for boots on the ground in the continent.
We have just opened a Uruguay office to ensure we can best serve our operator partners across LatAm. We know it is important to them to access people working in the same time zone, who are integrated in their communities. The office will oversee operational aspects and instil confidence in our partners that they will have a team that is more easily accessible than other competitors.
In March and April, we will be at the IV International Gaming Convention in Mexico (12 – 14 March), SAGSE Latam in Argentina (20 – 21 March) and GAT Expo in Colombia (9 – 11 April). Our priorities at these events will be fostering our partnerships in the market and ensuring we are attuned to the regulatory developments across each country. Brazil and Chile are in the process of developing regulations and we are watching those closely, adapting accordingly. We will also be showcasing our flexible platform and features at these events, including our turnkey solution, SSBT and new tools such as Betting Insights, Bet Mentor and Bet Boost. Events are an invaluable way for us to refine our strategies moving forward and we look forward to meeting people over the next month.
