The British Esports Association, the not-for-profit organisation set up to promote and support grassroots esports, has partnered with FACEIT, the world’s leading platform for competitive online gaming, as part of its ongoing Women in Esports initiative.

Women in Esports will have its own organiser page on FACEIT and will create women-only tournaments and hubs. The Women in Esports initiative aims to create a welcoming community which encourages more women (including trans and cis women) and femme identifying/femme presenting non-binary players to take part in esports tournaments at any level.

Women-only tournaments are viewed by Women in Esports as a stepping stone to give women more confidence and experience to then aim for further involvement in other tournaments (mixed or otherwise) in the future.

The organiser page will initially focus on Counter Strike:Global Offensive (CS:GO) as the first title for tournaments and hubs, primarily due to the fantastic female community prevalent on FACEIT for this title. The variety of tournaments and hubs will later expand with future pilots for other titles.

The first 5v5 CS:GO tournament, The Lioness League, will open for registrations on Friday November 27th and occur on Saturday December 12th. There will be a max of 32 teams in a single elimination bracket. Participants will be able to join as a premade team or join as a solo player and form a team. The prize will be 3000 FACEIT points: 2000 points for the winning team, and 1000 points for second place. This will be the start of regular monthly tournaments.

Our CS:GO hub will enable players to create teams and scrim against each other. The hubs will be private by application, open to women (including trans and cis women) and femme identifying/femme presenting non-binary players to join.

Women in Esports has also created its own separate community Discord server to further its aim of providing an inclusive community space. The server will be public and open to everyone, with many social channels, announcements, an industry section, along with specific tournament chat. It will be vetted, moderated and constantly updated as per feedback and changes in line with the initiative.

“We’re delighted to partner with Women in Esports, a team that shares our passions and values. FACEIT is committed to developing grassroots opportunities and supporting the community. We want everyone to feel comfortable and confident when taking their first steps into esports and we’re hoping this hub will offer a safe space for women to come together and compete,” said Sue Lavasani, Account Manager at FACEIT.

Alice Leaman, Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer at British Esports, said: “Through Women in Esports we aim to build a community and encourage more women to get involved in the industry. By partnering with FACEIT we can start to develop more regular tournaments and opportunities for all skill levels and the creation of a community Discord will provide a dedicated space for diversity in esports to be celebrated.”

Betable has launched three UK sportsbooks on its platform under its UKGC licence, cementing its position as the go-to partner for brands looking to scale in the regulated UK market.

Among the launches are two new brands, Ivy Bet, a sportsbook sister brand of Ivy Casino, and new market entrant RightBet.

Meanwhile, established brand Bet442 switches to the Betable platform to enhance its sportsbook offering, providing players with improved performance, expanded market coverage and a seamless betting experience.

The multi-brand rollout marks a significant milestone for Betable as it continues to expand its role as a technology and regulatory infrastructure provider for operators targeting the UK’s highly competitive regulated market.

Charlie Noble, COO at Betable, said: “Launching multiple sportsbook brands on the Betable platform demonstrates the flexibility and scalability of our infrastructure. The UK remains one of the most competitive and tightly regulated betting markets in the world, and we’re proud to support brands like Bet442, Ivy Bet and RightBet as they establish and expand their presence.”

 

Mark Good, representing Ivy Bet, added: “The launch of Ivy Bet represents a natural progression following the success and rapid growth of Ivy Casino in the UK market. Extending the Ivy brand into sportsbook creates new opportunities for players who enjoy both casino and sports betting experiences, and Betable’s platform provides the regulated infrastructure required to support that ambition.”

The three launches reflect increasing demand from operators for flexible sportsbook technology capable of supporting both established brands and new market entrants in the UK.

All three brands will benefit from Betable’s regulated infrastructure, enabling them to operate within the UK’s highly regulated environment while focusing on player acquisition and brand growth.

Matices culturales: localización del servicio al cliente para América Latina

matices-culturales:-localizacion-del-servicio-al-cliente-para-america-latina

Por Giuseppe Barbanera, Head of Commercial LATAM en Games Global

En una industria que se enorgullece de su alcance global, es fácil asumir que la escala por sí sola garantiza el éxito.

Pero en iGaming, “global” nunca debería significar uniforme. Los mercados a los que servimos no son intercambiables y en ningún lugar esto es más evidente que en América Latina.

Con demasiada frecuencia, las empresas intentan replicar modelos de atención al cliente europeos o estadounidenses en todas las regiones, asumiendo que la eficiencia y la estandarización se traducirán de forma universal.

En realidad, operar en múltiples regiones no significa necesariamente que el mismo modelo funcione en todas partes.

En la práctica, el éxito depende de qué tan bien se adapten las estrategias a cada mercado.

Una estrategia que funciona eficazmente en Europa o en Estados Unidos puede fracasar en América Latina si no tiene en cuenta los matices culturales y la forma en que las personas prefieren comunicarse y generar confianza.

La verdadera pregunta para nuestra industria no es si podemos operar globalmente, sino si estamos dispuestos a adaptarnos localmente. ¿Estamos preparados para abordar los mercados en sus propios términos?

Si bien el iGaming tiene un alcance internacional, cuando se trata de atención al cliente y gestión de cuentas, no existe una regla universal.

Cada región aporta su propia cultura empresarial y tiene sus propias expectativas.

Comprender esas diferencias es esencial para construir alianzas duraderas. Ignorar esto implica el riesgo de no aprovechar todo el potencial de los mercados de alto crecimiento.

América Latina lo ejemplifica con especial claridad.

La región está creciendo rápidamente y ofrece oportunidades significativas con dinámicas propias y un ritmo de desarrollo particular.

Diferentes regiones requieren diferentes enfoques, y el éxito depende de adoptar una estrategia mucho más práctica y adaptable que refleje las condiciones del mercado local.

Las relaciones y la confianza constituyen la base de los negocios, y los socios valoran el tiempo, la presencia y la consistencia.

La gestión de cuentas no se trata solo de apoyar las operaciones diarias; también implica guiar a los socios a través de cambios regulatorios mientras se adaptan soluciones que reflejen tanto las preferencias culturales como el comportamiento de los jugadores.

Los matices culturales, por lo tanto, desempeñan un papel clave en la construcción de alianzas sólidas. Hablar el mismo idioma y reconocer las costumbres locales ayuda a crear conexiones genuinas.

Estos pequeños pero importantes puntos de contacto transforman las conversaciones comerciales en relaciones personales, lo que a su vez genera confianza y facilita la colaboración, asegurando que las estrategias sean más relevantes y efectivas.

Después de todo, los negocios están hechos por personas, y si tuvieras que elegir un socio, ¿no preferirías a alguien que haya dedicado tiempo a comprender tu cultura y tus valores?

La flexibilidad y la empatía son igualmente importantes.

Aunque las prioridades pueden variar según el mercado, equilibrar la eficiencia con una comunicación y colaboración sólidas es clave en todas partes.

En América Latina, el diálogo y la construcción de relaciones desempeñan un papel especialmente relevante.

Los operadores y socios quieren saber que sus desafíos son comprendidos y que las soluciones ofrecidas reflejan sus necesidades comerciales y están adaptadas al mercado local.

Esto significa que la experiencia técnica no es suficiente.

El verdadero éxito proviene de la conciencia cultural y de la voluntad de adaptar modelos globales a las necesidades locales, en lugar de obligar a los mercados locales a adaptarse a modelos globales.

Tener presencia en el terreno también marca una diferencia tangible.

Los equipos y estudios locales ofrecen una visión directa de las tendencias cambiantes, las regulaciones y las preferencias de los jugadores.

Esta proximidad permite a las empresas responder rápidamente, ya sea lanzando contenido que conecte con audiencias globales, adaptando campañas a celebraciones locales o ayudando a los socios a navegar por requisitos de cumplimiento en evolución.

Combinar escala global con presencia local permite ofrecer un soporte que se percibe como relevante y confiable.

Lo que vemos en América Latina es que la atención al cliente nunca es un modelo único para todos.

Está moldeada por las personas tanto como por los productos.

Al escuchar las perspectivas locales, invertir en relaciones y adoptar los matices culturales, la atención al cliente se convierte en algo más que la resolución de problemas y pasa a ser un motor de crecimiento a largo plazo.

Esa es la diferencia entre ser simplemente otro proveedor y convertirse en un verdadero socio.

La región recompensa a quienes se toman el tiempo de escuchar, adaptarse y conectar, y a medida que América Latina continúa creciendo y madurando, la comprensión cultural seguirá siendo un factor determinante en las colaboraciones más exitosas.
