Snaitech and XB Net extend Italian operator’s horse betting portfolio with XB Net’s premium North American racing content
Italian giant supplements its U.S. horse racing data package by the leading Stateside supplier; Triple Crown and other important U.S. events rights guaranteed
XB Net, the leading provider of premium content for North American horse racing, has signed an agreement with Snaitech, the flagship Italian sports betting arm of Playtech, to provide its U.S. horse racing content to the Italian giant.
Top-class audiovisual broadcast around all major daily U.S. meetings will be made available for Snaitech customers via its website www.snai.it and across its retail outlets. Information on horses, jockeys and statistical data will be also available to help drive deeper fan engagement and education around this popular sport.
Among these events, the U.S. Triple Crown stands out. Two of the three races that make up the Triple Crown will be broadcast live: the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore and the Belmont Stakes in Belmont, New York. The agreement also covers other major world events, such as the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, scheduled to take place at Keeneland on 4-5 November, and the Pegasus World Cup, which will be staged in January 2023.
Simon Fraser, Senior Vice President of International at XB Net, said: “SNAI is a giant brand whose expertise and trademark customer care is best in class. Therefore, it’s a perfect moment to partner with their optimised Italian sportsbook, which has quickly embraced the merits and utility of North American racing. While domestic racing is back in full swing in Italy, those players who were drawn to North American racing during the pandemic have largely been retained which represents another key validation of our product.”
Agostino Romano, Chief Retail Operations Officer at Snaitech, added: “The daily schedule of races, guaranteed by our partnership with XB Net – owner of the rights to 60 circuits representing three quarters of the U.S. races – integrates perfectly with the domestic racing calendar in Italy. Thanks to the time difference and a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week schedule, the betting schedule is much broader and satisfies a greater number of fans of this engaging sport. We are looking forward to seeing the results in the upcoming events, such as the Triple Crown and the Breeders’ Cup.”
XB Net, the preferred point of contact for live North American racing contents, manages international rights, data, odds, live broadcasting and video streaming on behalf of its growing portfolio of partners. U.S. races, some 25.000 per year, engage an increasing number of bettors and allow international operators to fill gaps in the racing calendar in recent times.
Working with many of the world’s leading fixed-odds, spread-betting and commingled wagering companies, XB Net enjoys a growing geographic footprint in mature and emerging markets across Europe, the UK & Ireland, Asia, North and Central America and Australia.

Betano partners Fundación Empate on adapted football program in Argentina
Betano says it will fund weekly training for 192 athletes with Down syndrome and support the FUT21 National Tournament pathway ahead of October.
Betano has partnered with Fundación Empate to launch an adapted football-friendly tournament in Argentina, as part of the operator’s “Desafiá tus límites” (Challenge Your Limits) corporate responsibility programme.
The company said the partnership will support 192 athletes with Down syndrome by funding weekly practices, while also providing operational resources to strengthen training in the run-up to the FUT21 National Tournament in October. Fundación Empate describes FUT21 as Argentina’s main futsal competition for athletes with Down syndrome, bringing together delegations from across the country.
Germán Laborda, President of Fundación Empate, said: “For us, this support means much more than financial aid. It is a concrete opportunity for our players to keep growing, training, and showcasing all their talent. Having companies like Betano get involved in real inclusion helps bring visibility to the enormous effort and commitment of each member of our foundation.”
Alvaro Ferreres, Betano Country Manager for Argentina, added: “At Betano, we understand that social responsibility means getting truly involved and supporting the people behind every story. Supporting the players of Fundación Empate means proving that a company can be an ally that drives opportunities, inclusion, and development through sports.”
Beyond athlete funding, Betano said it will develop Teacher Training Workshops for Inclusive Sports aimed at more than 800 sports professionals, including coaches, physical education teachers and physiotherapists, as well as teams for athletes with Down Syndrome. The company positioned the initiative as part of its broader adapted sports activity under “Desafiá tus límites”, which it said also includes support for Argentina’s national blind football team, Los Murciélagos (The Bats).

PropellerAds says Social Traffic lifts game registrations 34.5% in Nigeria test
In a seven-day Onclick campaign, Social Traffic delivered 23.3% of registrations from 17.3% of impressions, the company reports.
PropellerAds has published new user acquisition results from a seven-day game registration campaign in Nigeria, reporting that its “Social Traffic” segment outperformed overall traffic on registrations and revenue efficiency.
According to the company, Social Traffic represented 17.3% of total impressions (20,076 of 115,671) but delivered 23.3% of registrations (199 of 853) and 24.5% of revenue ($96.06 of $392.46). Registrations per 1,000 impressions rose to 9.91 for Social Traffic versus 7.37 campaign-wide, a 34.5% increase. Revenue per 1,000 impressions (RPM) increased to $4.78 versus $3.39, up 41%.
Social Traffic is a targeting subtype within PropellerAds’ Onclick/Popunder format. When enabled on the company’s Self-Service Platform (SSP), ads are served only in placements where a user arrived from a social network such as Facebook or Instagram immediately before landing on the publisher’s page.
PropellerAds attributed the performance gap to browsing context and user intent, arguing that users coming from social platforms are more likely to complete multi-step actions such as registration. Petros Sofroniou, Account Strategist at PropellerAds, said: “In highly competitive user acquisition environments, traffic quality is increasingly critical. In practice, Social Traffic helps advertisers reach users who are more engaged and willing to take action, thereby improving registration performance in campaigns.”
The company positioned the results against what it described as a rapidly expanding Nigerian games market, citing estimates of a $3.5 billion market with roughly 60 million active users and 61% year-over-year growth. PropellerAds said it recommends testing Social Traffic as a dedicated segment and, where results hold, splitting it into a separate campaign for clearer optimization signals; it also suggested using roughly 20× target CPA as a test budget and running tests for 36–48 hours, while noting performance can vary by market and product.

Marca reuniu mais de mil convidados entre ex-atletas, influenciadores e artistas para celebração inspirada em uma das tradições culturais mais populares do país, durante o principal momento do futebol internacional em 2026
O maior São João brasileiro realizado fora do Brasil tomou conta de Miami na última terça-feira (23). Promovido pela Betnacional e organizado pela AMG, agência especializada em posicionar grandes marcas brasileiras nos Estados Unidos, reuniu mais de mil convidados e levou uma das manifestações culturais mais populares do país para os Estados Unidos justamente no período em que a cidade concentra milhares de brasileiros acompanhando o principal momento do futebol mundial.
Realizado no Jóia Beach Club, o São João Betnacional transformou o espaço em um grande arraial à beira-mar, reunindo música, gastronomia típica, experiências interativas e referências às tradições juninas celebradas em todas as regiões do Brasil. A proposta foi transportar para Miami a atmosfera de uma das festas mais emblemáticas da cultura brasileira e proporcionar aos convidados uma experiência de conexão com suas origens mesmo longe de casa.
“Tem coisa mais brasileira do que isso? De um lado, milhares de pessoas reunidas para viver a emoção de acompanhar a Seleção. Do outro, o São João acontecendo por todo o país. A gente quis trazer essas duas paixões para o mesmo lugar. E não de qualquer jeito. Fizemos questão de construir um São João de verdade, com respeito às tradições, à música, à cultura e às pessoas que fazem essa festa ser tão especial. Ter o Movimento Verde e Amarelo com a gente tornou tudo ainda mais simbólico. Foi uma noite para celebrar o Brasil em sua essência”, afirma Jorge Peixoto, Head de Brand Experience da Betnacional.
E o encontro entre essas paixões também se refletiu no público presente. O evento reuniu personalidades brasileiras, influenciadores, atletas, artistas e convidados especiais, que vem acompanhando a trajetória da seleção nos Estados Unidos.
Tradição brasileira em solo americano
A autenticidade da experiência também esteve presente nas atrações da noite. Entre os destaques da programação estavam a apresentação da quadrilha junina e os shows da cantora Gabi Lacombe, artista radicada nos Estados Unidos que levou ao evento o tradicional forró pé de serra, e do músico Rafa Mesquita, com um repertório marcado pela música brasileira contemporânea. Com apresentações cheias de energia e identidade, os artistas ajudaram a transportar para Miami o clima característico do São João brasileiro.
