PLAYMAKER BRAND REDGOL LAUNCHES WOMEN’S SPORTS-CENTRIC DIGITAL PLATFORM “REDGOL FEM”
Playmaker Capital Inc., the digital sports media company that delivers authentic content experiences through its portfolio of sports media and technology brands, announced today that Redgol, a wholly-owned Playmaker subsidiary in Latin America and the largest digital sports media company in Chile, has launched Redgol Fem, a digital platform devoted exclusively to the coverage of women’s sports and telling the stories of female athletes.
Redgol Fem will focus on women’s sports content and deepen the coverage of women’s soccer in Chile and Latin America, featuring monthly interviews and op-eds. In addition, Redgol Fem will provide timely editorial content relating to match schedules, scores, statistics, standings, and soccer tournaments, including the UEFA Women’s Champions League, Copa América Femenina, Copa Libertadores Femenina, Women’s Euro Cup and Sudamericano Femenino Sub-20 (Women’s U-20 South American tournament), among other marquee women’s sporting events.
In December 2021, Redgol launched Premios Contragolpe 2021, Chile’s first-ever women’s soccer award ceremony, a groundbreaking initiative to recognize, celebrate, and elevate the top female soccer players in the region. The event was exclusively livestreamed across Redgol and provided a platform to acknowledge women’s contributions to Chilean sports and entertainment, and their ability to inspire and promote affinity for sport and awareness for female athletes.
“After four years of publishing world-class women-centric and women-generated content, we believe it is important to continue to provide women’s sports enthusiasts the editorial space and the attention they deserve,” commented Paulina Agüero, Futbol Sites Chile Head of Sales. “Redgol is proud to bolster its commitment to continue to elevate women by developing Redgol Fem, a trailblazing digital platform that aims to close the gap between men’s and women’s sports and provide women the visibility they deserve.”
The launch of Redgol Fem continues to reinforce Redgol’s proven record of creating consistent coverage of women’s sporting events. The site streamed its first-ever women’s soccer show in 2017, broadcasted a Chile Women’s National Team match with an all-female talent crew in 2018, and featured live reports from the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France via Redgol’s on-the-ground female correspondent at the event. Playmaker is committed to advancing the popularity of women’s sports by providing premier content in every region that its brands operate across the Americas.

Delasport Accelerates Canadian Growth
Delasport continues to strengthen its position in the Canadian regulated market, now powering three live brands in Ontario while preparing for further expansion into Alberta as the province moves toward opening its regulated online gaming market.
Delasport’s technology is currently live in Ontario with TitanPlay.ca, Maverick Games, and Betnova.ca. The company provides a combination of full turnkey platform solutions of Casino, Sport, Player Account Management and Managed Services as well as its high-performance Sportsbook iFrame technology. This enables operators to launch quickly while delivering a premium user experience tailored to the Canadian audience.
With Ontario continuing to establish itself as one of North America’s most competitive regulated markets, Delasport’s growing local presence reflects the company’s long-term commitment to Canada and its confidence in the market’s continued evolution.
“Ontario is a strategically important market for us, and it has already proven to be a strong success story. Seeing multiple brands successfully operating on our technology and services demonstrates the strength of our platform in acquiring and retaining players in Ontario. We’re excited to continue this momentum as we prepare for Alberta,” said Oren Cohen Shwartz, CEO of Delasport.
As part of its next phase of Canadian growth, Delasport has officially applied for Alberta’s upcoming B2B licensing framework and is already preparing to go live with a partner operator once the market opens.
The company’s Canadian momentum is further supported by its mobile-first approach. TitanPlay’s iOS application is already available on the Apple App Store for users in Ontario, delivering a seamless casino and sportsbook experience powered by Delasport technology.
Delasport’s platform in Canada includes a wide range of personalization and engagement tools designed to enhance user retention and entertainment value.
The company has continued to position itself as one of the industry’s leading providers in regulated markets worldwide, with a strong focus on scalable technology, localization, compliance, and player-centric innovation.

Responsible Gambling Council Urges Financial Institutions to Strengthen Protections Against Gambling Harm
The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) has urged Canada’s financial sector to take a proactive role in mitigating gambling-related financial harm. A new whitepaper released highlights how banks and credit unions are uniquely positioned to protect the financial well-being of their customers.
The whitepaper, Opportunities for Impact: The Role of Financial Institutions in Mitigating Gambling-Related Harm, argues that financial institutions have a unique duty of care. Financial institutions have direct access to gambling transaction data that reveals early warning signs of financial vulnerability. These indicators include rapidly shrinking savings and an increased reliance on overdrafts or credit.
“The rapid expansion of regulated gambling in Canada requires an evolved response from our financial systems. By adopting tools already proven in other jurisdictions, Canadian banks can become leaders in protecting customer financial health,” said Tracy Parker, SVP, Accreditation, Advisory & Insights at RGC.
Jurisdictions like the UK and Australia have already recognized the powerful role financial institutions play. Banks such as Monzo and Starling in the UK were the first to offer voluntary gambling blocks to their customers. Similarly, the National Australia Bank provides dedicated support pages and links to financial counseling.
RGC recommends that Canadian financial institutions implement several key strategies:
• Improving the accuracy of Merchant Category Codes to better track gambling spend.
• Offering voluntary transaction blocks and self-defined monthly spend limits.
• Providing targeted messaging and support resources within digital banking platforms.
Beyond retail banking, RGC highlights the importance of commercial relationships. Financial institutions can influence industry practices by setting high harm prevention expectations for gambling operators. Integrating these considerations into due diligence processes helps mitigate reputational and regulatory risks.
