Pariplay Inks Deal with Renowned CODERE Online to Solidify Presence in LatAm and Spain
Pariplay Ltd., the No. 1 aggregator and content provider behind innovative products including the Fusion
Since its founding in 1980, CODERE has held a position of leadership in the core business lines and geographic areas where it operates. It is recognised at a global level for its land-based presence in the European (Spain and Italy) and Latin American (LatAm) markets (Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Panama and Uruguay), where it operates thousands of gaming-related paraphernalia and locations. The powerhouse quality of CODERE’s LatAm presence is also prevalent in its online operations and iGaming offerings, which Pariplay is proud to now be associated with.
This landmark partnership follows Pariplay’s expansion in Mexico at the start of 2020 and will see its unique and engaging Fusion
In addition to Pariplay’s expansion in LatAm, its catalogue of high-quality propriety and third-party games will also extend to players in Spain’s own expanding market via CODERE.es. iGaming revenues in the country grew 12.5% year-on-year in Q1 2020, according to Spanish regulator Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ).
Pariplay’s recent upturn in partnerships in these Spanish-speaking regions furthers the company’s commitment to strategic growth throughout the regulated gaming space. Partnering with the international renowned CODERE Online, will continue to elevate the prominence of Pariplay’s portfolio of exciting game content, including titles like Dragons of the North and Jackpot Fortunes. The agreement will also benefit CODERE’s offering by providing them access to Fusion’s unified single approach to content delivery to increase ROI.
Moshe Edree, COO at CODERE Online said: “We’re thrilled about this deal with Pariplay as its industry leading games portfolio is exactly what we need to provide our market-specific brands and their players with a more segmented content offering. Launching the partnership by using their cutting-edge Fusion
Christine Lewis, Pariplay’s recently appointed Chief Commercial Office and Manager Director Malta said: “We’re delighted to partner with a ground-breaking operator like CODERE Online, which possesses a multi-market caliber that makes it a great strategic fit for our business. Aligning ourselves with CODERE’s innovative approach and having our content offered on their various gaming sites, will drive an exciting collaboration that promotes expansion across a collection of emerging regulated markets.”

All the Ways Players Pay: Super Bowl
Paysafe research: Half of Super Bowl fans to bet in regulated North American markets
Payment speed and brand reputation remain crucial for bettors’ selection of online sportsbooks for Super Bowl LX, with 27% expecting to wager more than usual
In the countdown to this Sunday’s Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, 51% of fans who’ll follow the football game in U.S. states and Canadian provinces with regulated sports-betting plan to bet online, according to research issued today by leading payments platform Paysafe. The company’s All the Ways Players Pay: Super Bowl report also indicates strong interest in legal betting from fans in this year’s host state, if California were to regulate sports-betting, as well as in Texas and Canada’s Alberta.
Appetite to legally wager in California, Texas, and Alberta – with the Canadian province expected to launch its jurisdiction before year-end – rivals the regulated market, with 52% of fans keen to wager on future Super Bowls. Across these currently unregulated jurisdictions and regulated sports-betting markets alike, fans consider payments crucial for online sports betting.
Surveying fans intending to bet in the regulated markets of Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Canada’s Ontario, the report reveals that 59% of them plan to place bets on game-day and 27% expect to wager more than usual. Their top criteria when choosing an online sportsbook are brand trust (prioritized by 43%) and streamlined payouts (37%). Cashing out a Super Bowl bet seamlessly is considered more important than every other non-payment factor, including good odds (30%), UX (22%), promos (21%), and sports events (14%).
Other payment factors are also instrumental in how fans in regulated markets choose sportsbooks, especially rapid deposits (prioritized by 25%) and range of payment methods (24%).
With bettors prioritizing their go-to payment methods’ availability, the battle for Super Bowl customers will likely be won in part by sportsbooks with diverse cashiers.
Across the regulated market, players’ preference for debit cards (43%) is today rivalled by digital wallets (42%). And while states like Massachusetts ban credit cards for wagering, they remain a preference for 33% overall, rising as high as 51% in New York and 47% in Ontario, the top choice in the province.
With established local payment methods (LPMs) like Venmo in the U.S. and Interac e-Transfer in Canada, it’s no surprise that 20% of bettors expect to see their favorite LPM at the cashier. And with 17% of players preferring to wager with pay-by-bank solutions and 10% favoring eCash, sportsbooks with these options will likely gain a competitive edge.
With over a quarter of bettors expecting to wager more than normal, the game offers an important short-term revenue opportunity, but the real value for operators is retaining customers for the long-haul – and here payments are also key. If the payment experience goes awry for the game, 84% of bettors would switch brands.
While California, Texas and Alberta are yet to launch regulated sports-betting markets, Super Bowl fans there are already aware of payments’ importance. If wagering were legal, fans would prioritize payment factors – fast payouts (29%) and rapid deposits (26%) – above everything but brand reputation (36%) when selecting a sportsbook.
Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, commented: “Super Bowl LX is expected to generate a record $1.71bn in legal wagers from the U.S. market alone, with an unprecedented betting volume also likely in Canada’s Ontario. The game represents a massive growth opportunity for North American online sportsbooks, and our research indicates that operators that are laser-focused on their cashiers and streamlining the payment experience will give themselves an edge in a highly competitive market.”

Boomerang Partners
Boomerang Partners prepares a major affiliates activation, TIME TO WIN, as the Year of Sports enters its hot phase
As the global sports calendar enters one of its most intense and opportunity-rich periods, Boomerang Partners is preparing an activation designed to capture the full attention of affiliate teams worldwide. The agency has released a teaser video featuring players from AC Milan, its Official Regional Partner, signaling the upcoming launch of TIME TO WIN — an exclusive initiative built specifically for affiliates.
The video, already sparking anticipation across the industry, delivers two clear messages: TIME TO WIN and Save the date. The full reveal is scheduled for February 12.
More Than a Campaign
Although details remain tightly under wraps, one thing is already evident: TIME TO WIN is not a conventional affiliate campaign or a one-off promotion. The teaser features AC Milan stars Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alexis Saelemaekers, Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, and Rafael Leão — stopping just short of revealing what’s coming next.
Behind the scenes, TIME TO WIN appears to be a carefully engineered project built at the intersection of elite sport, affiliate expertise, and precise timing. It reflects Boomerang Partners’ long-term strategy of supporting affiliates during the most competitive moments of the sports season, where speed, readiness, and execution make the difference.
Powered by One of Football’s Most Iconic Clubs
The involvement of AC Milan is no coincidence. As Boomerang Partners’ Official Regional Partner, the club plays a central role in the TIME TO WIN concept, bringing global prestige, massive reach, and elite sporting credibility.
This partnership allows affiliate teams to align with one of the most recognizable football brands in the world, blending top-tier football energy with performance-driven marketing opportunities. As part of the broader collaboration, Boomerang Partners and AC Milan are preparing multiple initiatives throughout the season — including exclusive experiences, high-impact campaigns, and the launch of the AC Milan Hub, a dedicated portal centralizing all partnership-related activities.
Preparation Makes the Difference
While the full scope of TIME TO WIN will only be revealed on February 12, affiliates can already prepare by leveraging Boomerang Partners’ Sports Marketing & Betting Calendar 2026. This expert resource is designed to help partners anticipate peak moments, plan campaigns in advance, and make smarter decisions when competition is at its highest.
A Critical Window for Affiliates
The timing of TIME TO WIN aligns perfectly with one of the busiest stretches of the sports year. February and March feature a packed schedule of global events, including:
-
The Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026
-
UEFA Champions League knockout stages
-
Men’s Basketball World Cup Qualifiers
-
Major tennis tournaments such as Indian Wells and the Miami Open
For affiliate teams, this period demands precision, rapid execution, and well-timed activations — exactly where TIME TO WIN is positioned to deliver a strategic edge.
What Affiliates Can Expect
While Boomerang Partners is keeping the finer details confidential for now, expectations are high. TIME TO WIN is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious and exclusive affiliate activations of the 2026 sports season — a high-impact opportunity designed for teams ready to perform when it matters most.
The wait won’t be long. Full details of TIME TO WIN will go live on February 12 via the Boomerang Partners website.
Stay tuned.
