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 KTOās 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.
āAltenarās strong presence in Latin America made them the obvious choice when entering the Peruvian market,ā said Pedro Benavides, Managing Director of KTO Apuestas Sac. āWe were looking for a strong partner to support our ambitious growth plans in the country.ā
The operatorās 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: āWe 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 thereā.

Stakeās Latam leadership team smashes glass ceiling; sweeps awards
Stakeās Diana Margarita Otalora has been crowned Leader of the Year atĀ the 2024Ā SBCās Latinoamerica awards.
The October award win was the perfect way to mark the one-year anniversary of Stakeās operation in Colombia, which has led the operatorās ambitious expansion plans in Latam.
The victory for Diana, who is GM for Latam as well as the operatorās Colombia country manager, is proof that Stakeās strategy to hire the best talent available in each territory is paying off.
Dianaās team was recently strengthened by the addition of Peruvian country manager Jennyfer Escobar, who helped to secure Stakeās licence in Peru as a result of the operatorās progressive recruitment policy.Ā
āAt Stake, we want to appoint the best people for the role. Our ambition is nothing less than to become a leading player in the Latin American sports betting market.ā said Otalora.Ā
āIt has been rewarding to find those attributes in my fellow Latina leaders, who are pulling together to propel Stake forwards in Latamās emerging regulated markets.
āWe work hard every day to ensure that gambling in our home countries is both exciting and safe for players, who have come to expect nothing less from Stake over the years.āĀ
In order to complete the Colombian launch, Diana managed the merging of two teams following Stakeās acquisition of Betfair Colombia, delivering continuity and harmony during what might otherwise have been a challenging integration.Ā
Diana has successfully grown the Stake Latm team to more than 35 employees and is continuing to grow.
More internal growth is on the cards as the operator looks to build on Colombia by entering Peru and Brazil, among others in the region.
Luisa MuƱoz, Head of Operations, Latam for Stake, said: āUnder Dianaās leadership, we have launched one of the largest gaming companies in the world in the Colombian market and are now expanding our horizons to all of Latam.Ā
āWorking with Diana, I have grown both professionally and personally: professionally, by being able to evolve my role in the organisation from managing the Customer Experience processes to now leading the operation for Latam. Personally, she has guided me, trusted me, empowered me and has opened the way for me to contribute value to the company on a daily basis.
āThis is what true leaders do.āĀ
