SIS evolves Sales team to support international expansion
SIS (Sports Information Services), the leading multi-channel supplier of 24/7 live betting services, has promoted Helen Ridley to the new role of Head of Group Account Management while appointing Michele Fischer as Digital Sales Consultant for the US market, as part of SIS’s international expansion strategy.
Ridley has spent five-and-a-half years at SIS, having formerly held the role of Major Account Manager. In her newly created role, Helen will be responsible for leading the Major Account team to further build global operator group relationships, to meet customer needs across markets.
US-based Fischer brings a wealth of US racing and gaming experience to SIS. Prior to forming her own consultancy firm, Darting Star, in 2018 specialising in horse racing operations and global wagering systems, Fischer held the role of Vice President, Sales and Business Development for the Americas at Sportech, where she had a 15-year tenure. In her role with SIS, Fischer will be responsible for helping to further extend the company’s presence in the US.
Paul Witten, Commercial Director at SIS, said: “I am very pleased to welcome Michele to the SIS team and to Helen for stepping up to the new Head of Group Account Management position.
“SIS has made significant progress in expanding into new territories and these most recent changes to our Sales team will further support our expansion internationally and ensure that we continue to meet our operator partners’ needs.”
Helen Ridley, Head of Group Account Management at SIS, said: “I’m delighted to have accepted this new role which will help further grow our major group operator relationships and ensure that our products help to meet our customers’ challenges.
“With an increasing demand for SIS products such as Competitive Gaming and our 24/7 Live Betting Channels, it’s now more important that we align as much as possible with our customers and develop our global relationships to achieve the best value for our customers.”
Michele Fischer, Digital Sales Consultant at SIS, said: “I’m very pleased to be joining SIS at what is an exciting time for the company as it seeks to further expand its footprint within the US.
“There is a real opportunity for SIS within the US as the market continues to open up. I’m confident that SIS’s international racing and Competitive Gaming esports products can drive value for sports betting operators within the US and will position North American racetracks to maximise the value of their content for fixed odds betting.”

EQL Games
Playforge lands north American distribution deal with EQL Games
New game genres, including ‘Rotocade® ‘ and ‘Dial’, expand content options for North American lottery operators.
Playforge, the next-gen iLottery games studio, has announced a strategic distribution agreement with EQL Games, a provider of disruptive gaming content to lottery partners, bringing a new wave of high-retention, mobile-first iLottery games to the North American market.
The collaboration will leverage EQL’s robust aggregation platform and RGS to seamlessly deliver Playforge’s complete portfolio of iLottery titles to operators.
This include its innovative ‘Rotocade®‘, Dial, and instant win genres that promise to attract a diverse range of players with their novel mechanics and lighting fast mobile-first approach.
As the region’s gaming landscape evolves rapidly, traditional lotteries are facing increased competition from emerging digital betting and entertainment platforms.
This distribution agreement will service online lotteries with the fast-paced, engaging content that attracts the future core of lottery audiences.
The agreement will also allow operators to access new game formats that are tailored to acquire and retain more engaged, digitally native players, while helping modernise lottery brand perception.
Adam Barber, founder and CEO at Playforge, said: “Younger gaming generations demand more from digital content, and player expectations online are evolving fast.
This distribution partnership with EQL Games will help North American lotteries to stay ahead of that curve with our next-generation content, featuring new game concepts that capture players’ imagination and drive loyalty.
“With our in-house expertise that crafts games with novel mechanics and first-rate artistry, combined with EQL’s aggregation know-how and regional market knowledge, we can’t wait to get the future of iLottery content into the hands of players who demand more.”
Brad Cummings, founder and CEO at EQL Games, added:
“Playforge is exactly the kind of contemporary content provider the lottery industry needs to broaden its offerings in the fight to stay relevant to quickly changing player demographics.
Our technology is built to expand access to the best lottery games, empowering operators to leverage content like Playforge’s, which demonstrates first-rate craftsmanship, and the power to engage a new audience of lottery player.
“Short-form game styles are an important part of the portfolio for all lotteries looking to diversify their content portfolio, Playforge’s new and innovative approach will be of significant benefit to our lottery operator partners in the years to come.”
At present, less than a third of US states offer iLottery instant win games. Helping lotteries transition to a more sustainable, future-proof audience is critical to its ongoing success.

Superbet becomes first betting platform available on Brazil’s Apple Store
Superbet has reinforced its pioneering position in the Brazilian regulated betting market by becoming the first betting platform officially available on Brazil’s Apple Store.
The app listing comes immediately after Apple updated its guidelines on May 8, allowing the distribution of fixed-odds betting applications in the country.
The move further highlights Superbet’s leadership within Brazil’s newly regulated gaming landscape.
The company was among the first operators to secure authorization under the federal betting framework, positioning itself at the forefront of compliance, responsible gaming and digital innovation.
With the application now officially accessible to iOS users in Brazil, customers can enjoy a fully regulated betting experience through a platform operating in accordance with local legislation and Apple’s updated distribution policies.
Industry experts see the measure as an important milestone in the fight against illegal betting operators, while also strengthening consumer protection and trust in licensed brands.
Superbet has significantly expanded its presence in Brazil over recent years through sponsorship agreements, marketing campaigns and strategic partnerships, becoming one of the most visible betting brands in the market.
The operator has also invested heavily in mobile-first technology and user experience, recognizing Brazil as one of the world’s fastest-growing mobile betting environments.
The approval of regulated betting apps on major digital marketplaces is expected to accelerate the migration of users toward licensed operators and contribute to the consolidation of a safer and more transparent betting ecosystem in Brazil.
