KTO picks Altenar to power Peru sportsbook platform
KTO Apuestas has picked Malta-based betting software and services provider Altenar to power its online and offline sportsbook for players in Peru – KTO.PE.
The KTO team has offices in Asia, Europe and Curacao, where it holds a licence to operate the KTO.com and KTO.PE brands. The operator already holds a strong presence in the Asian, European and Brazilian markets.
Altenar will integrate the same solution online and across KTO’s shops. It includes an extensive pre-match and in-play offering, complete with better odds and a deeper selection of leagues, as well as more virtual games and faster processing times for online bets.
“Altenar’s strong presence in Latin America made them the obvious choice when entering the Peruvian market,” said Pedro Benavides, Managing Director of KTO Apuestas Sac. “We were looking for a strong partner to support our ambitious growth plans in the country.”
The operator’s online brand first went live in 2018, as Peru pressed ahead with plans to introduce a regulatory framework for its online gaming and sports betting market.
However, while progress has since stalled on the introduction of proper legislation for online gambling, it is not a prohibited activity. Indeed, high mobile and smartphone penetration means the country is set up to replicate the success of its mature land-based market.
Domenico Mazzola, Commercial Director at Altenar, told SBC News: “We are delighted to further expand our presence in the LatAm region with a partner such as KTO. We are going to support them with all our resources and the full commitment to help them succeed there”.

Expansion follows recent entry into Mexico for world’s largest online casino and sportsbook
Stake, the world’s largest online casino and sportsbook, announced its official launch in Argentina’s Buenos Aires Province, continuing the company’s rapid expansion across Latin America.
The move sees Stake bring its globally recognised sportsbook and casino platform to Argentina’s largest and most populous province, home to more than 17 million people and one of the country’s most significant economic and sporting regions.
Operating via stake.bet.ar, under a licence granted by the Provincial Institute of Lottery and Casinos (IPLyC), Stake will offer Argentinian players access to its premium sportsbook and casino experience, combining cutting-edge technology, a mobile-first platform and a wide-ranging portfolio of gaming content tailored to local preferences.
The launch further strengthens Stake’s momentum across Latin America following recent growth in markets including Mexico, Peru, Brazil and Colombia. Argentina’s deep sporting culture and strong digital adoption make it a strategically important addition to the company’s expanding regional footprint.
The market entry also builds on Stake’s growing connection with fans through its ambassador partnership with former Argentina striker Sergio Aguero.
Diana Otalora, LatAm General Manager at Stake, said: “Argentina is an important market for us and a natural next step in our expansion across Latin America. There is an incredibly passionate sporting culture, a large and digitally engaged population and strong long-term potential for Stake.
“We’ve continued to build momentum across Latin America in recent years, and this launch reflects our ambition to establish Stake as the leading entertainment brand in the region. Argentina is a market with energy and identity and we’re excited to bring our world-class sportsbook and casino experience to players through stake.bet.ar.”
Since launching in 2017, Stake has become the world’s leading online casino and sportsbook, attracting more than 100 million monthly visits across its global domains. Built on innovation, world-class partnerships and a strong connection with its global community, Stake continues to redefine entertainment at scale.
