The partners plan to launch the gaming operator’s flagship brand, Betsson, by the end of the year. Upon launch, Betsson Mexico will offer casino, live casino, and localised sportsbook with a wide range of sports and markets and US ways of betting, such as money line, parley, and teaser bets.
Jesper Svensson, CEO of Betsson operations, said, “This is yet another expansion into the LatAm region which we see so much potential in. As we have done in Brazil, Colombia, and the Province of Buenos Aires in Argentina, we are teaming up with a local partner that lives and breathes the local culture.
“We are really excited to start this collaboration with Big Bola as we believe they are well suited to help us understand the market better and ensure that our offering not only fits the Mexican culture but also earns the public’s trust. Our vision is to provide the best customer experience in the industry and I’m confident that we will manage to replicate this success in Mexico too,” concluded Jesper Svensson.
Emilio Quiros, Director of Operations for Big Bola, said, “We are happy that Betsson Group has chosen to partner with us for their operations in Mexico. We believe that our market expertise and their knowledge and experience about online gaming will result in an outstanding product for Mexico.”
Both companies are actively involved in supporting the communities in which they operate. Betsson Group uses OneBetsson.com as a vehicle for local community engagements in multiple countries. During the current circumstances, Betsson has supported COVID-19 related initiatives in Malta, Sweden, Estonia, Georgia, and Hungary. Big Bola also runs Fundación Big Bola which is driven by values such as altruism, commitment, honesty, solidarity, justice, and generosity and supports children and youths in Mexico. It also collaborates with other public and private organisations to support healthcare and crisis relief in Mexico.

SYNOT Games enters the Argentinian iGaming market with Betsson as a trusted partner

SYNOT Games, a leading developer of cutting-edge casino games and solutions, has officially entered the Argentinian iGaming market through a strategic partnership with Betsson, one of the most established and globally recognized operators in the industry.
This collaboration marks SYNOT Games‘ debut in Argentina and signals a significant step in the company’s ongoing expansion across Latin America. By joining forces with Betsson, SYNOT Games reinforces its commitment to working exclusively with trusted partners in regulated markets.
“Entering Argentina with a partner like Betsson is a proud moment for us,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.
“Latin America is a rapidly growing region in the iGaming space, and Argentina stands out for its dynamism and regulatory maturity. We’re excited to offer our premium portfolio to a new audience and deepen our footprint in LatAm.”
Sarah Micallef, Head of Global Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, also expressed enthusiasm: “We are pleased to welcome SYNOT Games to our portfolio in Argentina. Our focus has always been to offer our players top-tier content in every market we operate. SYNOT’s games meet our high standards for quality and entertainment, and we are confident they will resonate well with our Argentinian audience.”
Argentina’s online gambling sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, particularly following the 2021 regulatory shift that enabled provinces to license operators independently. Buenos Aires, both the city and the province, has become a focal point for major international brands, offering a regulated and competitive market environment that is ideal for industry expansion.
The deal strengthens SYNOT Games‘ positioning in Latin America, aligning with the company’s strategic roadmap of sustainable growth and responsible gaming in fully licensed jurisdictions. With an existing presence in Brazil and Colombia, this move into Argentina further consolidates SYNOT Games’ commitment to expanding across the most dynamic and regulated iGaming markets in the region.
