Betsson Group wins 2 awards at El Ojo Iberoamerica Festival
Latin America’s main award recognises BetssonFC’s launch campaign in Brazil, with Gold and Silver awards in two categories.
Betsson Group won two awards at the El Ojo Iberoamerica Festival – the most important marketing and creativity award ceremony with a Latin perspective in the world – held in Argentina on November 24th. The winning campaign was created for the launch of BetssonFC, Betsson’s fantasy game in Brazil. The goal of the award-winning campaign was to generate buzz and boost engagement in Betsson and Íbis Sport Club (known as “The Worst Team in the World”) in social media.
Entitled “Everyone can play with the best in the world. Even you,” the campaign motivated the soccer community to find out who was behind the biggest sponsorship in the Club’s history. It also featured digital pieces, the collaboration of influencers, and a movie starring the players, which was shot at the Arena Pernambuco, in Recife, Brazil.
“Designed for the launch of our fantasy game in Brazil, the campaign was perfectly in line with Betsson’s culture of supporting sports around the world,” explains Andre Gelfi, Betsson’s managing partner in Brazil. “Ibis was not randomly chosen. The team has built all its popularity with good humor, in a light and relaxed way, and is very well regarded by the whole soccer community. We are happy that this partnership has yielded such a special recognition”, he adds.
During the El Ojo Iberoamerica Festival, Betsson Brazil’s campaign surpassed other shortlisted campaigns from countries like Peru and the United States, as well as Brazilian campaigns of well-renowned brands from other industries. The Festival’s 24th edition received 2,317 entries for these awards.
El Ojo Iberoamerica has been held since 1998 and is the first international festival with a Latin approach and perspective on creativity, communication and entertainment. The festival is one of the most recognised in the world and the leading one in Latin America.

EveryMatrix extends Betsson Group partnership with Fantasma Games launch
EveryMatrix has extended its partnership with Betsson Group, giving the global operator’s brands access to its full content library across a range of licensed markets.
The first phase of the new agreement sees Betsson Group launch exclusive in-house content from Fantasma Games, following the successful integration with EveryMatrix’s platform.
Ahead of the second phase of the partnership, EveryMatrix and Betsson Group are reviewing several high-performing third-party studios, with the aim of further strengthening the operator’s casino offering across additional licensed markets.
The agreement builds on EveryMatrix’s recent go-live with Betsson Africa in Cameroon, where the technology provider delivered a full turnkey casino and sports integration, including front-end development, player account management, payments and affiliate management.
EveryMatrix Casino has the world’s largest casino aggregation platform, offering more than 45,000 games from 180 vendors and 355 game studios.
Mark Hothersall, Head of Business Development, EveryMatrix Casino, said: “Our initial launch with Betsson in Cameroon was another strong showcase of our ability to support tier-1 operators with scalable, regulated technology.
“Extending this partnership through the launch of Fantasma Games shows the value of our relationship and the value our casino portfolio can bring across multiple brands in regulated markets.”
Karl Shranz, Director of Gaming, Betsson Group, said: “Following the successful launch with EveryMatrix in Cameroon, we saw a clear opportunity to explore further areas of collaboration, with content being a natural next step.
“EveryMatrix offers a strong portfolio, quality titles, and the operational standards required to support our brands across regulated markets.”

Octoplay Expands in Italy with StarCasinò, Betsson Group’s Top-Ranked Local Brand
Octoplay is now live with StarCasinò, Betsson Group’s premier Italian casino brand, advancing its expansion in one of the world’s largest gambling markets. StarCasinò joins PokerStars and Sisal as the supplier’s third tier-one Italian integration in four months, underscoring Octoplay’s accelerating momentum. As global operators like Betsson Group continue to partner with Octoplay, the supplier is rapidly establishing itself as an emerging power in B2B gaming, backed by the industry’s most established names.
The StarCasinò partnership follows a clear pattern of acceleration in Italy. In January 2026, Octoplay went live with PokerStars and Sisal simultaneously, with StarCasinò now extending that run alongside a wider European rollout that includes recent launches with bet365 in the UK, Luckia in Spain, and Adjarabet in Georgia. Since Ralitsa Georgieva’s appointment as CEO, Octoplay has delivered a series of high-profile integrations across Europe’s most competitive regulated markets, demonstrating the strategic vision driving the company’s growth.
“StarCasinò is the third tier-one operator we have gone live with in Italy in the past months, and it reflects the pace at which we are building our presence in one of Europe’s most dynamic markets,” says Ralitsa Georgieva, CEO at Octoplay. “Betsson Group has set the standard for a high-performing casino brand in Italy, and the trust they have placed in our content reflects the quality we are delivering across the industry’s top operators.”
Fabio Denegri, Business Director Italy at Betsson Group, stated: “In the constant evolution of gaming, our priority remains the introduction of content that stands out for innovation and performance. Welcoming Octoplay means injecting pure energy into our offering: their titles are a perfect blend of fresh mechanics and cutting-edge design. We are confident that Octoplay’s content will resonate with Italian players, further strengthening our position as a benchmark for innovation in the regulated market.”
Octoplay holds active licenses in 17 jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Romania, Malta, Slovakia, Georgia, Brazil, New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario. Less than three years after going live, the company continues to expand its presence with tier-one operators across Europe, North America, and South America.
