Tonybet has launched its World Cup Card Collection campaign for Canadian customers in time for the start of the 2026 World Cup, with a $150,000 CAD prize fund on offer.
Tonybet’s Canadian playerbase (excluding Ontario) will have the chance to collect a wide range of card packs through the tournament by successfully completing a number of sportsbook and casino-related quests on a weekly basis.
There are 51 cards in total to collect, including 48 standard digital cards – one for each participating World Cup nation – and three unique physical cards available in gold, silver and bronze.
Each card collected possesses a coin value which can be used in exchange for a variety of bonus rewards to be used across the Tonybet platform. Meanwhile, winners of the three unique physical cards will also claim cash prizes of $100,000 CAD for gold, $35,000 CAD for silver and $15,000 CAD for bronze, as well as receiving the one-of-a-kind, handcrafted cards.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “With Canada co-hosting the 2026 World Cup, it’s set to be a huge period for Canadian sport – and our World Cup Card Collection campaign will ensure our Canadian customers have even more reason to stay engaged through the tournament over the coming weeks.
“By completing quests, collecting card packs, unlocking collection bonuses, and chasing three one-of-a-kind physical cards available throughout the World Cup, there’s a share of $150,000 up for grabs. And with new rewards, tier completion bonuses, and exclusive collectibles on offer, every card pack could bring our players one step closer to a summer to remember.”

Kaizen Gaming Repeats Double Latin America Operator Win at SBC Awards Americas 2026
Dual honours with awards for both “Sportsbook Operator of the Year – Latin America” and “Casino Operator of the Year – Latin America”
Kaizen Gaming, one of the world’s biggest GameTech companies and owner of the Betano online sports betting and gaming brand, has been named both “Sportsbook Operator of the Year – Latin America” and “Casino Operator of the Year – Latin America” for the second year running at the SBC Awards Americas 2026. The ceremony took place on Wednesday, 10 June, on the second day of the SBC Summit Americas at Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The repeat double award wins reinforce Betano’s position as a leading force in online betting and gaming across the region. Betano is arguably considered the no 1 igaming brand, with the biggest market share in Brazil, South America’s largest market, while it is also one of the market leaders in other South American countries, including Argentina and Peru.
Kaizen Gaming continues to set new benchmarks with customer experience at the core of its offering, underpinned by its proprietary technology, elite football partnerships, and ongoing product innovation. This includes a range of player-centric features, such as increasingly sophisticated AI-powered personalisation, trending content, enhanced in-play experiences and social functionality, alongside a wide selection of engaging rewards and offers.
Christos Tzalavras, Kaizen Gaming’s Chief Product Officer commented: “We are very happy about this distinction, especially since it recognizes our focus on providing our customers with the best possible experience, both through our Sportsbook and our Casino offerings. And of course, it’s equally important that these awards concern the Latin American region, which has totally embraced us and to which we owe a large part of our success. With the World Cup now upon us, South America is a hugely strategic region for the industry, and we remain committed to setting new standards for innovation, trust, and customer experience.”
The FIFA World Cup 2026
is a significant moment for Betanο, which has been named an Official Tournament Supporter for Europe and South America. This will see Betano provide fans with many unique and exclusive opportunities to experience the excitement of the FIFA World Cup through exclusive fan activations, while also promoting responsible play through dedicated tools and 24/7 customer support.
Betano was also recently announced an Official Regional Sponsor of the Argentine National Football Team – the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022
champions. At the same time, it remains the title sponsor of both Brazil’s top domestic competitions, Brasileirão Serie A and Copa Betano do Brazil, the Presenting Partner of the Argentine Liga Profesional de Fútbol and Copa Argentina, as well as the principal and front-of-shirt partner of top flight South American clubs, including Clube de Regatas do Flamengo and Club Atlético River Plate. Furthermore, Kaizen Gaming is an Official Partner of CONMEBOL, with the partnership starting through the CONMEBOL Copa America
2024 and since then continuing with other tournaments including the CONMEBOL Copa América Femenina 2025
and the CONMEBOL Liga de Naciones Femenina.
Additionally, Betano has an extensive Corporate Social Responsibility footprint in the region, supporting the work of organisations like FADeC (the Argentine Federation of Sports for the Blind), Fundación Empate (which supports the inclusion and development of people with Down syndrome in Argentina), Afroesporte (which empowers Black athletes in Brazil to develop their careers) and Fundação Laço Rosa (which supports women’s fight against breast cancer in Brazil).
Earlier this year, Kaizen Gaming also underscored its focus on customer-centric technology innovation with the acquisition of GameplAI, a provider of AI-powered sports trading and analytics. The deal enables the integration of GameplAI’s technology into Betano, enhancing capabilities across sports trading, player markets and performance analytics, for users globally.

Ontario remains a key market within its growth strategy, with a continued focus on high-quality content, innovation and responsible gambling.
The launch further strengthens Incentive Games’ position in North America and marks another important milestone in the company’s continued expansion across regulated gaming markets, building on its recent securing of licences in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ontario.

From the outset, it’s been clear that we share a strong focus on delivering engaging, high-quality player experiences, making this a natural collaboration for both teams.
