Wanabet.es ‘joins the Big League’ and migrates to SBTech’s revenue-driving Sportsbook
New dawn for R. Franco brand as it replaces its sportsbook provider for SBTech to fulfill true revenue potential; Trouble in Spain for Kambi?
SBTech, the leading technology supplier to the regulated iGaming sector, has boosted its presence further in Europe by securing a long-term sportsbook deal that will propel R. Franco’s Wanabet.es brand into the ‘Big League’ through its migration to SBTech’s best-in-class revenue-driving quality sportsbook.
Marking further success for SBTech in the sales process, this high quality, visionary operator has migrated from its existing provider to SBTech’s market-ready sportsbook, known for its flexibility and extensive coverage. The deal marks the second time a Spanish facing brand has migrated from its current provider.
The move allows Wanabet.es to deliver the ultimate personalised online sports betting experience and truly fulfill its market potential in Spain. Using SBTech’s powerful, multi-award winning sportsbook, Wanabet will have greater control of risk management driving their sports that will maximise the brand’s revenue potential and take it to new heights not previously experienced with their former provider.
The success of SBTech’s localised approach has seen additional partners such as Luckia and Bethard outperform their competitors in Spain, whilst other sportsbook providers struggle to perform in the market. The announcement also further signifies SBTech’s commitment to driving growth with premium B2B gaming partners in Europe.
Andrew Cochrane, Chief Development Officer at SBTech, said:
“The migration of yet another visionary brand to SBTech is testament to not only our innovative product offering, but also the strength of our commercial and product teams throughout a rigorous sales process. We look forward to working closely with R. Franco to take them to the next level of performance through our industry-leading, market-ready sportsbook.
“The migration process can often appear daunting for an operator, but our extensive experience in what has now been multiple successful migrations to the SBTech sportsbook created the perfect foundation for R. Franco to seamlessly migrate to SBTech. This is the first of many we can expect to see during 2020.”
Javier Sacristán Franco, Digital and Operations Director of R. Franco, added: “Spain is a rapidly evolving and growing market and to build on our success we knew we had to take our offering to the next level. We firmly believe that SBTech’s best-in-class sportsbook will enable us to achieve this and futureproof the business for many years to come.”

The collaborative, primary provider partnership with Scientific Games has resulted in a well-balanced scratch-off portfolio, with three price points ranked in the top five in the U.S. for weekly per capita sales (MAP 52-week average per capita). Focus on $30 scratch-offs with innovative designs and strategic prize structures that appeal to a broad player base has delivered consistent top performers.
“The New York Lottery is proud to continue its partnership with Scientific Games,” said Gweneth Dean, Director of the New York Lottery. “For decades, our collaboration has resulted in billions of dollars for New York’s public schools, and we look forward to creating exciting new games for our players and supporting our dedicated retailers across the state.”
As part of the new contract, Scientific Games will continue to provide the New York Lottery with consumer and product research and data analytics, game development and portfolio planning to help ensure the success of the Lottery’s scratch-off games.
“We’re honored to continue as the primary scratch-off game provider to one of the world’s most successful lotteries and support their important mission to fund education for New York students,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “Our long-standing, strategic partnership has continued to bring entertaining scratch entertainment experiences to players in the state, and we look forward to many more decades of success together.”
U.S.-based Scientific Games created and produced the New York Lottery’s very first scratch-off game and has worked side-by-side with the Lottery to provide products across the state’s network of approximately 14,000 lottery retailers.
With products that generate more than 70% of global instant game retail sales, Scientific Games is the world’s largest lottery games creator, producer and services provider, and the primary provider to nine of the Top 10 performing instant game lotteries in the world.

Kaizen Gaming, the leading global GameTech operator, and AFA, The Argentine Football Association, are pleased to announce a new partnership that sees the premium brand Betano become the title sponsor and exclusive betting partner of Liga Profesional de Fútbol.

Claudio Tapia, President of AFA, highlighted: “The Liga Profesional de Fútbol is, without a doubt, one of the most important and popular sports competitions in Argentina. It is one of the most important assets of Argentine football and we always try to bring it closer to the fans and attract the interest of world-class companies through it. This agreement with BETANO strengthens our vision and confirms, once again, the massive reach of Argentine football. We thank BETANO for the trust in our ability to create valuable experiences and we commit to carry out an ambitious brand plan with professionalism. We welcome BETANO as the Naming Sponsor of the Liga Profesional de Futbol”.
Julio Iglesias, Chief Commercial Officer, Kaizen Gaming said: “From the legendary ‘Superclásico’ showdown to its clubs’ record-breaking 25 Copa Libertadores titles and the national team’s World Cup glory in Qatar, Argentina is never short of exciting footballing moments. Its league’s long and established history, and recognition among the top ten globally, also make it a launchpad for many of tomorrow’s most talented stars. Our new partnership with the AFA reinforces our growing dedication to the Argentinian football community, offering its passionate fans unrivalled entertainment through safe and responsible gaming experiences”.
