Comtrade Gaming has signed a platform agreement with Canadian Bank Note Company, Limited (CBN) under which Comtrade’s technology will support CBN’s online Lottery & Gaming operations across Central America and the Caribbean, the companies said.

The deal covers CBN’s lottery, sports and casino operations in the region and includes a migration from CBN’s proprietary technology to Comtrade Gaming’s platform.

Steven Valentine, Chief Commercial Officer at Comtrade Gaming, said: “We were delighted to be selected by CBN as their iGaming Platform provider across their lottery, sports and casino operations. Migrating from their own proprietary technology was a big decision, and our joint teams worked seamlessly to achieve a successful migration.
From the initial selection through to the migration, is a testament to how seriously we take our clients’ business.”

Kirk Arends, President of CBN’s Lottery and Gaming Division, said: “We were looking for a long-term platform partner who not only could supply us with world-classmodern technology but who also had similar values, and long term commitment to partnerships.
On one side of our business, we print currencies for governments; trust doesn’t come much higher. We wanted the same level of trust and experience from our iGaming platform partner, and we found that with Comtarde Gaming”

Blokotech said it will hold the third stop of the Bloko Padel Tour 2026 in Miami on 9 June, as part of its partnership with SiGMA World.

The company said the event will take place at Ultra Padel Club in Magic City and will run alongside SBC Summit Americas in nearby Fort Lauderdale. The Miami stop follows events in Buenos Aires and Malta and is part of a tour leading to a grand finale in Rome later this year.

Blokotech said the tournament will feature 24 pairs competing across Beginners and Advanced categories. The company said the Best Player of the Tournament will receive an Adidas Messi signature football boot signed by Lionel Messi.

The Miami competition is supported by ClutchBet, Felina Casino, scoreconnect, The Power Plugin and Belatra Games, according to Blokotech.

“The response to the Bloko Padel Tour has exceeded all expectations so far. Each stop is bringing together more people from across the industry and creating genuine opportunities to build relationships in a much more relaxed and engaging environment. Miami is set to be another fantastic event as we continue building towards Rome,” Blokotech Co-Founder and CEO Salvatore Messina said.
