Betbazar, the gaming industry’s leading global sales house, has agreed on a deal to supply sportsbook software provider Altenar with next-gen betting products for its clients across LatAm and Europe.

Completed in less than a month, the integration will include products from Betbazar’s exclusive partner BETER, including EsportsBattle Football and Table Tennis Setka Cup Tournaments, available to all Altenar’s clients.

Already well-known across the industry as B2B’s chosen provider of data for Esports, used by the likes of Sportradar and BetGenius, Betbazar is set to overhaul the services delivered to Altenar with a wealth of next-gen products.

Commenting on the deal, Alex Iaroshenko, CEO at Betbazar, said: “This is an incredibly exciting deal that started as an online correspondence with a view to creating a strong partnership. This deal with Altenar opens the opportunity for us to further grow in the LatAm market.”

Max Sevostianov, Betbazar’s CCO, added: “While managing the deal with Altenar, I was extremely impressed at the technical officers’ abilities. It was a tremendous achievement for us to launch a product of this scale. It shows that we clearly work well as a team, and I can’t wait to see where that takes us.”

Altenar CEO Stanislav Silin said: “I’m delighted to get to work with the Betbazar team. Their products have helped us increase our current sportsbook coverage and provide our clients with new, fast and engaging content. Content that challenges the current mainstream providers by offering a degree of disruption, coupled with excellent business sense. It is sufficient to say that we didn’t need to negotiate streaming or data “add-ons” – everything was included in the deal, which is exactly what the recreational player needs. Data, odds and visuals – nothing hidden or at an additional extra charge.

“Our partnership is based on trust and devoted work from both sides so I’m sure it will continue for a long time.”

As a global sales house, Betbazar specialises in innovative content, odds and streaming services, as well as advanced AI-based personalisation tools to drive player engagement.

With a client roster including Bet365, Parimatch, BetVictor, Fortuna and William Hill, Betbazar has proven key to driving incremental revenue and digital transformation for the industry’s leading sportsbooks.

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29^th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.

The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.

Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:

“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”

The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.

The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.

Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
