DoubleUp Group partners with Pragmatic Solutions
Enter the newest B2C operator on the iGaming scene. DoubleUp Group is hitting the ground running with big ambitions to set “a new standard of fun”. Pragmatic Solutions is a key partner, providing the core platform to support their exciting strategy.
Pragmatic Solutions will power DoubleUp Group’s multi-brand plans with its premier iGaming technology platform. The Group’s first online casino is already in the advanced stages, preparing to delight players in Q2 2021.
Pragmatic Solutions provides iGaming operators with enterprise platform technologies built around a core Player Account Management (PAM) platform. The PAM is designed using microservices architecture and contains a player account, wallet, CRM tools, bonus management tools, payment tools, KYC/AML, and fraud-prevention services. It’s underpinned by rules-based automation throughout. The offering is bolstered by Pragmatic Solutions’ sister-company and industry content leader, Pragmatic Play. Topping it all off is a Content Management System (CMS) designed to power gaming frontends, and an Integrations Hub to connect operators to any third-party content, payment gateways and services.
This full-stack package from Pragmatic Solutions was the natural choice for DoubleUp Group. It allows them to accelerate their time to market, providing a solid technological foundation for their upcoming intuitive online casino, as well as all those to follow.
Ale Rallo, Managing Director of DoubleUp Group, explained the decision saying, “There are many iGaming platforms to choose from in the market today. After running a comprehensive RFP process, we concluded that the products available from Pragmatic Solutions were the right fit for our business. We chose Pragmatic due to the quality of their platform and their partnership mentality to supporting our business. We challenged them with innovative concepts that we want for our casinos, and they responded with the flexibility and the technical know-how that we require. Our mission is to raise the standards of quality and fun in casino gambling. With Pragmatic, we have a partner that supports our vision.”
Ashley Lang, Pragmatic Solutions’ CEO, commented on the announcement, “We were delighted to be chosen to provide platform technology to DoubleUp Group, and we are very excited to be working with Ale and his team. They share our passion for technology and are building upon our core platform to deliver an unparalleled experience for their customers. We value their business and are committed to supporting them in their growth. We are delighted to be working with them.”

Alea Leads Brazil iGaming Talks in São Paulo
Alea is set to take a leading role in São Paulo as the Headline Partner for NEXT.io Focus Brazil, returning for a second straight year to one of the most important gatherings in the country’s regulated iGaming calendar.
The invite-only event takes place on Monday, 6 April at Palacio Tangará and brings together around 100 senior industry decision-makers to examine how Brazil’s market is evolving beyond its launch phase.
The agenda will center on the market’s new reality, including changing player behavior, regulatory maturity, and the long-term sustainability of Brazil’s iGaming sector. Alea CEO Jordi Sendra will open the afternoon by joining the panel “Brazil 2026: The New Reality of Regulated Gambling,” where leaders from TQJ Bet, Esportes, and Stake Brazil will discuss how operators can stay competitive in a more structured environment.
Alea says its renewed partnership reflects the company’s growing commitment to Brazil and its deeper local presence. Over the past year, the company has invested in building a stronger on-the-ground structure to support partners across the market, with Sendra describing Brazil as a fast-changing but increasingly organized industry where open dialogue remains valuable.
The São Paulo appearance also connects directly to Alea’s wider South American push. After NEXT.io Focus Brazil, the team is shortlisted for Best Aggregator at the SiGMA South America Awards, before continuing discussions at SiGMA South America from 7–10 April at Booth N145, where the company will showcase its localized portfolio and technical support for operators navigating Brazil’s evolving market.

CATALIST SPORTS SECURES NEW SUPPLIER LICENSES IN ARKANSAS AND NEBRASKA
New approvals in U.S. states and applications in Canadian provinces drive Catalist Sports’ latest expansion across regulated North American markets
Catalist Sports, a leading licensed supplier of sports betting content to the regulated U.S. marketplace, has continued to expand its regulated market footprint with new supplier licenses secured in Arkansas and Nebraska, alongside recently submitted Canadian applications in Ontario and Alberta.
Arkansas’ regulated sports betting market is set for significant growth, with major operators including DraftKings and FanDuel entering the state in March 2026. In addition to Arkansas, Catalist Sports has successfully obtained a supplier license in Nebraska.
Following the approval of its supplier license in Missouri, the latest state to regulate online gambling, in December, Catalist Sports is now licensed in 30 U.S. jurisdictions, with two Canadian provinces expected to follow.
These license updates reinforce Catalist Sports’ commitment to serving both U.S. and Canadian regulated betting markets with compliant, high-quality content and services.
“Securing licenses in new jurisdictions and strengthening our regulatory standing is fundamental to serving as a trusted, key supplier to our operator partners,” said James Monk, Vice President & General Manager of Catalist Sports.
“Arkansas represents an exciting next step for us, particularly as major brands prepare to enter the market. At the same time, our licenses in Nebraska, along with applications in Ontario and Alberta, and ongoing license upgrades, position Catalist to continue delivering scalable, compliant, and differentiated services to our partners.”
Catalist Sports’ expanding North American footprint supports the company’s broader strategy to provide licensed operators with premium data, live streaming, and advanced trading capabilities, helping partners maximize in-play engagement, product innovation, and long-term growth in regulated markets.
Catalist Sports distributes official data and live streaming rights from a vast portfolio of events to licensed U.S. sportsbooks. This includes top-tier tennis properties such as the Australian Open, ITF World Tour, Davis Cup, and Billie Jean King Cup, as well as events across soccer, basketball, and ice hockey, which power year-round engagement for sportsbooks seeking continuous, high-frequency, high-quality live betting content.
