Lead Generation Company Leadstar Media Launches First Website in Peru
Peru is next in line for Leadstar Media with the launch of their latest website. Their third and latest offering that caters to a Latin American audience, joins other products geared towards Brazil and Colombia. The focus remains on search engine optimization in the emerging market.
“We have seen success in previous products in Latin America and decided to expand further in the region. Like Brazil and Colombia, it’s yet another country where sports in general and football in particular, have a strong foothold in the community. It makes it an exciting prospect and I firmly believe we can replicate our success from other markets.” says Eskil Kvarnström, CEO Leadstar Media.
Peru is currently one of the largest gambling markets in Latin America. The region itself attracts significant interest from companies looking to diversify their portfolio from the competitive European market, which is a sign of the potential it possesses.
“Land-based gambling already has a strong presence in Peru. I’m confident that its online equivalent will overtake traditional outlets in the coming years. Several major operators already have foundations in the country and I see huge potential for our products in the market.” says Kvarnström.
The website itself, Miscasasdeapuestas.com/pe is hosted on a subdirectory of the root domain Miscasasdeapuestas.com. Geotargeting is important for SEO reasons and despite being in the same language as the Spanish version, there are distinct differences.
“Our first site in Spanish was Miscasasdeapuestas.com, aimed towards the European Spanish market. With the extension of that site into other Spanish speaking countries it is a challenge to differentiate and diversify from the original, says Kvarnström. “Despite being the same language, there are local differences like regulations and bookmakers, so we’ve found a good way to execute this expansion without simply reproducing content for existing products.”
Leadstar Media is currently developing versions of the site for other Spanish speaking countries in Latin America to launch later this year.

SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator: Largest Content Hub Certified in Brazil
The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, the largest content hub in the iGaming industry, has secured Brazilian certification, becoming one of the first in the market to achieve this milestone.
Regulatory rules for iGaming come into effect in Brazil on 1 January 2025. According to them, platforms, aggregators, sportsbooks, and providers must undergo certification. Companies aiming to provide their services in Brazil in 2025 and beyond have been preparing for this transition throughout the year.
The SOFTSWISS team announces that its Game Aggregator is the first to fully comply with regulations, completing all necessary preparations and receiving the certificate to ensure smooth and efficient operations for its clients.
SOFTSWISS has also obtained certification for integration with the worldâs largest game providers â Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Playtech. These providers offer a diverse range of games tailored to suit the preferences of Brazilian players, from immersive live dealer experiences to engaging slots and table games, ensuring entertainment for every type of player.
According to recent Kantar research conducted in November 2024, the overall satisfaction index for the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is 8.1 out of 10. Remarkably, half of the respondents rated the product a 10 or 9. Customer support service satisfaction scored even higher, at 8.4 out of 10.Â
The Game Aggregator also boasts a key advantage: consistent 99.999% uptime, which is crucial for the iGaming business.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, notes: âAccording to our information, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the first aggregator fully prepared, both technically and legally, to work in Brazil when the new regulations take effect. This is a significant achievement that the team has worked on diligently and systematically. Our work doesnât stop here â we are actively adding new providers to help our clients expand their presence in this promising Brazilian market, which is no longer âthe sleeping giantâ. It has awakened, and SOFTSWISS is at the forefront of this exciting transformation.â
To support this high level of performance, earlier this year SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian Formula 1 legend, as a Non-Executive Director, demonstrating its strong commitment to the local market. To ensure efficient operations and promptly address ongoing matters, SOFTSWISS also has a dedicated team of local business development managers in Brazil.
SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss partnership in Brazil and other markets at the first major iGaming event of 2025 â ICE Barcelona, taking place on 20â22 January, at stand 2G42.
