Logrand partners with Altenar to launch enhanced omni-channel sportsbook experience
Altenar, a leading sportsbook provider, has partnered with Logrand Entertainment Group, one of Mexico’s most established and respected casino operators, to deliver its complete sportsbook solution across the operator’s online and retail channels.
Through the agreement, Altenar will deliver a fully-integrated sportsbook experience designed specifically for omni-channel operations. The solution will be deployed across Logrand’s digital brands, jubilee.mx and vivento.mx, while also being integrated directly into the retail environments of its casino venues in cooperation with Calimaco’s platform.
The partnership will enable Logrand to offer a seamless and consistent betting experience wherever players choose to engage.
Recognised for delivering premium entertainment experiences across both land-based and digital channels, Logrand continues to strengthen its position in Mexico’s competitive gaming landscape through strategic technology partnerships and a customer-first approach.
Altenar’s flexible and scalable sportsbook technology will support Logrand’s ambitions with advanced trading capabilities, localisation features, and a platform built to meet the evolving expectations of sports bettors in the Mexican market.
Diego Salas, Sales Director at Altenar, said:
“We are delighted to partner with Logrand. This agreement reflects Altenar’s commitment to delivering market-leading sportsbook technology tailored to local player expectations and operational requirements.
“By bringing our complete omni-channel sportsbook solution to both online and retail environments, we look forward to helping Logrand create an engaging sports betting experience and supporting its continued growth in Mexico.”
Eduardo Peláez, Online Operations Director at Logrand Entertainment Group, added:
“Our players don’t separate ‘retail’ from ‘digital’ the way the industry does — they expect their casino and their sportsbook to recognise them, follow them, and behave the same way regardless of where they are sitting. This partnership with Altenar is how we deliver on that expectation. One sportsbook, one player view, one product running across jubilee.mx, vivento.mx, and our retail venues through Calimaco’s integration.
Choosing Altenar was a long-term decision. We needed a partner with the localisation depth and the technical reach to support Logrand at the scale we are planning for the next phase of growth in Mexico.”

“We chose Altenar because we know the local market and we know what our players need. We weren’t just looking for another supplier – we were looking for the right one. With jubilee.mx and vivento.mx, Logrand is stepping up to compete head-on in the Mexican sports betting market, and we are doing it with the right platform to win.”

PropellerAds Launches Paid Social Traffic, a New Way to Reach Social Media Audiences
Leading advertising platform PropellerAds has launched Paid Social Traffic, a standalone format that gives advertisers access to paid social media audiences from inside their existing accounts. The format makes audiences active on Facebook, Instagram, X and other social feeds available within the PropellerAds platform, with supply aggregated through its partners.
For years, advertisers chasing social audiences had to juggle separate ad accounts, learn the rules of each platform, and produce platform-specific creatives just to reach users scrolling their feeds. Paid Social Traffic strips that away. Advertisers pick the format in the campaign builder, point it at a landing page and the traffic flows in.
“Advertisers keep telling us that reaching quality social audiences at scale is complex and resource-heavy. We built Paid Social Traffic to make that audience accessible through a single PropellerAds campaign: no separate accounts, no complicated setup,” said Julia Larionova, Head of Marketing at PropellerAds.
The format sits as a dedicated tab in the SSP campaign creation flow, alongside Onclick, Push, Interactive Ads and Telegram Ads. No third-party integrations, no extra ad accounts, no fresh batch of creatives — a landing page is enough to launch.
The audiences come in with high engagement intent, and the supply is aggregated from PropellerAds’ partners and made available only through the platform, so advertisers aren’t competing for it elsewhere. For verticals such as iGaming and Finance, the format offers clear requirements and a streamlined onboarding, with the company’s standard ad quality guidelines and policy applying throughout.
At launch, the format is live across a set of high-volume markets, more countries are on the way.
The launch also clarifies how social traffic now works on the platform. Organic Social Traffic — audiences from bloggers, channels, and publisher-owned communities — stays inside Onclick. Paid Social Traffic is the new, separate lane: a dedicated paid source aggregated through PropellerAds’ partners. Both coexist, with a clean line between them.
Advertisers planning longer commitments have another option. Through Custom Collaboration, partners can build tailored campaigns for clients with dedicated promo budgets and serious scale ambitions — a route aimed at the platform’s larger advertisers.
To start, advertisers select Paid Social Traffic in their next campaign and add a landing page. The platform handles delivery from there.

Finland Sets Casino Gambling Risk Limits at 2% of Income, 4 Days, 2 Game Types
Finland’s National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) has launched a new set of gambling risk limits built around a single rule: no more than 2% of monthly net income, 4 gambling days per month and 2 recurring game types. Bonusetu.com examines the new framework and why its real-world success depends on the bank ID identification already standard in the country’s registration-free casinos.
The “2-4-2” Rule and the Player’s Credit Line
THL packaged the new limits as a player’s credit line (pelaajan luottorivi), a memorable “2-4-2” mnemonic released alongside a self-assessment gambling test (rahapelitesti) that lets a player gauge their own relationship with gambling. The thresholds are deliberately simple: keep monthly spend under 2% of net income, gamble on no more than 4 days a month, and stick to no more than 2 recurring game types. The guidance lands against a backdrop where 70% of Finns reported gambling in the past 12 months.
The numbers are not arbitrary. The framework adapts Canada’s Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines, reworked for Finnish conditions between 2022 and 2024. Where Canada anchors its limit to 1% of gross household income, THL chose 2% of net personal income to better match how Finnish households actually think about money.
According to the THL’s assessment, the introduction of the licensing system will shift the focus of the gambling system from preventing and reducing harms to emphasising gambling revenue; for this reason, they felt it was best to launch the 2-4-2 rule right now.
“A risk limit only works if the casino knows exactly who is sitting behind the screen. THL hands players the 2-4-2 rule, but the rule has no teeth unless the operator can verify identity, age, and play history in real time. Bank ID does that at the door. Registration-free does not mean anonymous, it means the player is identified before the first euro is staked, not after,” said Tommi Korhonen, acting CEO of Bonusetu.com.
Why a Limit Needs to Know the Player
A spending cap is only as strong as a casino’s ability to recognise who is actually playing. That recognition runs on strong identification (vahva tunnistautuminen) through bank credentials, the technology that lets a player log in with Nordea, OP or S-Pankki details instead of filling out a signup form. The “no registration” label describes the missing form, not a missing identity check.
Verified age: Bank ID confirms a player is over 18 before the first spin, closing a gap that form-based signups leave open to minors.
Recognised identity: One verified identity per player turns play-history limits like 2-4-2 into something a system can enforce, not just a slogan a player is asked to remember.
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Helsinki, Bonusetu.com is a leading Finnish comparison platform for online casinos.
