Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has released Spanish and Portuguese translations of the Optimum Betting Market study.

The study provides a unique insight into best practice regulatory models for betting around the globe and an analysis of IBIA operators’ market and integrity data covering $137bn (€115bn) in betting turnover per annum.

In addition to contributing to the ongoing betting market and integrity discussion in Spain and Portugal, the translations have been published to assist the development of betting policy consideration across Spanish and Portuguese speaking Latin America. To that end, the study assesses the existing regulatory models in Colombia, Mexico and Argentina, and it is hoped that this will assist the development of betting regulation in other regional countries such as Brazil.

H2 Gambling Capital valued the Latin American betting market at $1.3bn (€1.1bn) in gross win in 2020 and it is forecast to see a near threefold increase to $3.4bn (€2.9bn) by 2025.

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA said: “The burgeoning Latin American sports betting market is an increasingly important focus for IBIA members’ business operations. It is also unfortunately the focus of corrupters seeking to manipulate sporting events to defraud betting operators. Indeed, between 2017 and the end of the third quarter of 2021, IBIA alerted the relevant authorities to 112 cases of suspicious betting across 15 Latin American countries and 4 different sports.”

“It is hoped that this report will provide some assistance to Latin American policymakers, sports and betting operators in responding to the threat to the integrity of sport and to developing effective betting regulation. Integrity has been a core part of the betting market discussion in North America, with the integrity standards recently published by Ontario seen as a best practice model; IBIA would like to see this focus and approach replicated across Latin America and beyond.”

The study was conducted by leading global gambling data and intelligence company H2 Gambling Capital, which was commissioned to evaluate various regulatory frameworks for betting around the world. Gambling trade associations BGC, BOS, EGBA, Jdigital and NOGA were also involved as project partners. The study, now available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, seeks to:

  • evaluate the regulation in 20 jurisdictions
  • examine the impact of product restrictions
  • determine the cost of match-fixing to regulated operators
  • provide an optimum betting market solution in the form of ten regulatory pillars

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Tom Horn Gaming, a leading igaming software supplier, has unveiled its latest game, Wild Snowfakes, just in time for the winter season. A winter-themed slot transports players to a serene snowy wonderland filled with excitement and rewards.

Expanding Wilds and QuickX™ Bonus Buy Feature

With expanding wilds and the supplier’s proprietary bonus buy feature, QuickX™, Wild Snowflakes delivers thrilling gameplay and allows players to tailor their journey based on their preferences.

This medium-to-high variance game is played across a 5×3 gaming grid, populated with frosty fruit symbols and snowflakes, which act as wilds. When a wild snowflake lands as part of a winning combination on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th reel, it expands to fill the entire reel, transforming other symbols above and below into wild snowflakes for bigger wins.

Players in applicable jurisdictions can activate one of three expanding wild features with 2x, 3x, or 5x multipliers using the QuickX™ bonus buy feature. This proprietary mechanic allows players to purchase direct access to bonus rounds, bypassing the base game grind. QuickX™ empowers players to customise their gameplay, offering a shortcut to increased winning potential. The cost of activating QuickX™ is dynamically calculated based on the player’s original bet size, multiplied by the chosen bonus buy multiplier.

A Winter-Themed Classic Slot with a Contemporary Twist

“Wild Snowflakes is a celebration of the beauty and magic of winter, brought to life through stunning visuals and an immersive theme. By combining the charm of a classic slot with engaging features, we’ve designed a game that’s both nostalgic and exciting. It’s the perfect addition to any operator’s portfolio this winter season, “ said Katarina Slaninova, Head of Marketing at Tom Horn Gaming.

The game will be available for distribution through Tom Horn Gaming’s extensive partner network from 21 November.

Bitblox, the pioneering software studio responsible for introducing a new wave of crypto-based price prediction games to the online casino world, has announced it has agreed a huge new deal that will see its full range of titles added to the Timeless Tech portfolio.

As a forward-thinking aggregator that prides itself on continually broadening the gaming verticals that it’s able to supply to customers, the partnership will allow Timeless Tech to offer releases like Up or Down?, Up or Down? Turbo and 3 in a Row to its casino clients going forward.

With these four additions as well as all future releases from Bitblox at their disposal, operators who use Timeless Tech to power their game aggregation needs will now be able to further engage their customers with a unique selection of titles that combine elements of both chance and skill.

Perfectly positioned to capitalise on the iGaming industry’s growing interest in cryptocurrency, all Bitblox releases require players to try and correctly predict Bitcoin’s price movement over a fixed window of time and have been built to appeal to both casino customers and sports bettors alike.

Although no prior knowledge of the Bitcoin market is needed to play, the presence of real-time price data enables users to follow the chart and make better informed decisions, meaning they have a more active role in the outcome of each round than they would with a traditional RNG title.

As a result, Bitblox’s games manage to fill a gap in the market that’s both fun and strategic while also supplying an exciting new vertical for operators looking to engage with a younger, crypto-curious audience. Their addition to the Timeless Tech portfolio should serve to see their current popularity grow further as they find their way to new customers in a variety of markets worldwide.

Brandt Page, Chief Executive Officer at Bitblox Games, said: “At Bitblox, we already know we’ve come up with a concept that holds genuine appeal to both sports bettors and casino customers alike, so the next step is obviously ensuring that our games get out to as wide an audience as possible.

“Our new partnership with Timeless Tech will enable us to do just that by making our full portfolio of releases available to a wide number of operators globally, so we’re very excited to see what the uptake is and we’re really looking forward to hearing back from customers on how they perform.”

Nicola Cainero, COO at Timeless Tech, said: “At Timeless Tech, we’re always looking to integrate innovative content that pushes the boundaries of gaming, and Bitblox aligns perfectly with our goal of providing unique and engaging experiences to both players and operators alike.

“By adding their releases to our platform, we can further broaden the gaming verticals that we supply to partners, providing them with fresh content that will add an exciting dimension to their current libraries while also attracting a new wave of players who are interested in cryptocurrency.”

With the BETBAZAR marketplace going from strength to strength this year following a flurry of promising partnerships, the innovative iGaming company has announced another new addition after putting pen to paper with live casino supplier, ICONIC21.

Known throughout the industry for providing one of the most comprehensive selections of live dealer games around, ICONIC21 offers everything from classic titles like roulette and blackjack to Asian favourites such as Sic Bo and even boasts a suite of releases featuring bonus multipliers.

As a result of the new deal, BETBAZAR will now stock all 20 titles of the ICONIC21 portfolio in its online marketplace, giving clients a wider range of live casino options to choose from and enabling them to benefit from powerful promotional tools like Bet & Get offers and tournaments.

With all releases being broadcasted 24/7 from dedicated studios and hosted by friendly and professional presenters, the ICONIC21 game library provides a truly immersive experience to gamers that closely replicates the look and feel of attending a genuine bricks-and-mortar casino.

Boasting stunning visual effects, attractive backdrops and sky-high multipliers that can be triggered across a wide range of bets, all “Gravity Series” titles offer an exciting twist on classic game formats that can boost engagement through their potential maximum wins of up to 1,000x.

With every game in the ICONIC21 line-up also being fully customisable to suit partners’ needs, the supplier provides a genuinely bespoke service that will undoubtedly prove a big hit in the BETBAZAR marketplace and help the company further strengthen its existing live casino offering.
