Platform and aggregator Groove is delighted to announce an extended collaboration with one of the most innovative companies to enter the slots space, RubyPlay.

RubyPlay is a leading developer of online slots serving over 600 casino brands and millions of unique players monthly.

RubyPlay’s suite of slots are established favourites among players in markets around the world with titles such as flagship, Mayan Cache, a 5×3 reel video slot that is packed with bonus features such as Free Spins, Super Free Spins and Jackpot Mania; Loco Habanero, Vegas No Limit Wins, Book of Riches Deluxe, Elephant Stampede, Zeus Rush Fever, Grand Express Action Class, New Year Rising, and Adventures of Li’l Red, amongst others. Upcoming releases include the much anticipated Golden Forge, and the highly touted Diamond Explosion 7’s.

RubyPlay has been very active in developing interesting mobile-rich features, such as the ‘shake-shake’ feature on Shake Shake Leprechaun, where players shake their phones to release coins and bonuses from a rainbow. These unique fun game features are combined with best-in-class maths, a team of talented game designers and some of the best slots art in the industry.

Groove’s powerful platform includes thousands of casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, sportsbook, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue. This latest arrangement with RubyPlay adds to Groove’s rapidly growing portfolio.

Groove’s focus on innovation as a driving force for their business is well known across multiple stakeholder groups in the iGaming industry for a compelling twin-turbo online casino management system offering extended services to every operator who wants to offer casino games, sportsbooks, bingo and lotteries. It’s based on the GrooveHub, which offers API and instant access to leading suppliers in the iGaming industry and GrooveOn, an easy-to-use multifunctional back-office that powers performance.

Daniel Louie, Game Designer at RubyPlay said: “Our new ‘mobile-first approach to game design is playing out in titles such as Roman Legend which also has a novel game mechanic. The main character, a Roman Centurion, grows in size on-screen as the game progresses, occupying more and more of the screen, and visually underscoring the growing excitement of the player. This is a good example of how we as gamblers make games for other gamblers.”

Matthew Gera, RubyPlay’s Commercial Director said: “With Groove the numbers are good, the customer service team are fantastic, and the account management is very responsive, everything is delivered to a ‘T’. With Groove’s robust operator cluster and international reach, we are sure that our next generation of games will help enrich their platform while we get the reach and distribution network that they have patiently built over the years.”

Yahale Meltzer, COO at Groove said: “RubyPlay matches our ambition to bring high-quality products to the portfolio, strong performers that are fresh and packed with great features such as Jackpot Mania. RubyPlay has a release strategy that makes sense and we should be getting 17 new titles from them alone this year.”

Las diferencias locales de Argentina representan tanto un desafío como una oportunidad para el sector del iGaming

El crecimiento del iGaming en Argentina ha posicionado al país como uno de los mercados más dinámicos de América Latina. Sin embargo, detrás de esta expansión existe un desafío que está cobrando cada vez más relevancia para los operadores: adaptarse a un mercado donde cada provincia presenta diferentes requisitos regulatorios, condiciones operativas y dinámicas comerciales.

A diferencia de muchos otros mercados de la región, Argentina no opera bajo un único marco regulatorio. Cada jurisdicción establece sus propios requisitos, procesos de licenciamiento y condiciones de operación, lo que obliga a los operadores a adaptarse constantemente a diferentes realidades dentro de un mismo país.

Para OKTO PAYMENTS, proveedor de infraestructura de pagos y servicios financieros para industrias digitales complejas y reguladas, estas particularidades locales representan tanto un desafío como una oportunidad. A medida que el mercado evoluciona, los operadores deben encontrar formas de escalar de manera eficiente manteniendo la consistencia en entornos operativos cada vez más diversos.

“Durante años, el crecimiento fue el principal objetivo de la industria. Hoy, el desafío radica en cómo escalar eficientemente en un mercado donde cada jurisdicción puede presentar distintos requisitos, expectativas y dinámicas operativas”, señaló André Boesing, gerente general para South LatAm de OKTO PAYMENTS.

A medida que el mercado continúa madurando en las distintas provincias, los operadores enfrentan crecientes exigencias en materia de transparencia, trazabilidad y control operativo. La capacidad de adaptarse a requisitos regulatorios y operativos diversos se está convirtiendo en un factor cada vez más importante para lograr un crecimiento sostenible.

Como resultado, la capacidad de coordinar múltiples proveedores, métodos de pago y procesos operativos se ha vuelto cada vez más estratégica para los operadores que buscan ampliar su presencia en todo el país manteniendo una experiencia de usuario consistente.

“Los usuarios esperan una experiencia simple y fluida independientemente del lugar donde jueguen. Pero detrás de esa experiencia existe una creciente complejidad operativa que los operadores deben gestionar eficientemente a medida que se expanden a diferentes jurisdicciones”, agregó Boesing.

A medida que los operadores amplían sus operaciones en múltiples jurisdicciones, gestionar distintos proveedores de pago, métodos de pago y requisitos operativos se vuelve cada vez más complejo. Capacidades como la orquestación de depósitos y retiros, la gestión de tesorería y liquidez, y los procesos de liquidación eficientes están emergiendo como habilitadores críticos para este crecimiento. Al permitir que los operadores centralicen múltiples conexiones de pago a través de una única capa de infraestructura, mejoren la visibilidad de la liquidez y optimicen los procesos de liquidación, estas capacidades ayudan a reducir la complejidad, fortalecer el control operativo y respaldar una experiencia de usuario fluida en diferentes mercados.

“En muchos casos, la infraestructura pasa desapercibida hasta que algo sale mal. Sin embargo, en mercados altamente fragmentados como Argentina, la capacidad de gestionar múltiples proveedores, mantener la consistencia operativa y adaptarse rápidamente a los requisitos locales puede convertirse en una ventaja competitiva en sí misma. En OKTO PAYMENTS llamamos a esto ‘jugar de una manera diferente’: competir no solo a través de productos y servicios, sino también mediante la resiliencia operativa y la capacidad de adaptación”, explicó Boesing.

Para OKTO PAYMENTS, la evolución del mercado argentino demuestra que el éxito a largo plazo dependerá no solo de atraer usuarios, sino también de la capacidad de operar eficientemente en entornos cada vez más complejos.

“Los operadores mejor posicionados para alcanzar el éxito a largo plazo serán aquellos capaces de combinar crecimiento, control operativo y adaptabilidad. La infraestructura financiera ya no es simplemente una capa de soporte tecnológico; se está convirtiendo en una ventaja estratégica en mercados cada vez más sofisticados”, concluyó Boesing.

OKTO PAYMENTS trabaja con operadores que navegan el escenario multijurisdiccional de Argentina para simplificar las operaciones de pago mediante una única capa de orquestación para depósitos y retiros instantáneos, gestión de tesorería y liquidez.

Sportradar flags AI, payments and integrity as World Cup 2026 pressure points in LatAm

Sportradar is positioning the 2026 World Cup (June 11 to July 19, 2026), hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as a major acquisition moment for Latin American sportsbooks—while warning that the expanded tournament format will raise operational and risk demands. In a “World Cup Report 2026,” the company highlights a 48-team field, 104 matches and a “favorable time zone” for Latin American audiences as factors likely to drive spikes in deposits and in-play betting activity.

The report cites the tournament organizer’s projection of approximately 6 billion engagements across traditional TV, streaming, digital platforms, and public screenings, with streaming and mobile consumption expected to represent over 30% of total audience. Sportradar also points to broader consumer intent data it references: around 60% of consumers plan to bet online or via mobile apps during the tournament, including nearly 19% who plan to bet for the first time.

Operationally, Sportradar argues the expanded match schedule increases exposure: “More matches mean more in-play betting windows, greater liability exposure, and higher volatility.” It also frames payments and product depth as differentiators, citing Brazil’s PIX instant payment system as an example of local rails shaping user expectations and internal efficiency, and pointing to growth in Parlays and Bet Builders among its operator partners.

On market context, the report highlights Brazil entering “its first full event cycle under a licensing framework,” stating the regulated market generated R$37 billion (approximately US$ 7.3 billion) in gross gaming revenue in 2025. It adds that Brazil is projected to account for approximately 10% of global betting handle during the tournament.

Sportradar’s recommended strategy centers on three pillars—enhanced betting experience, deeper fan engagement, and “an ecosystem of uncompromising integrity”—with artificial intelligence positioned as the cross-cutting enabler. The company says its Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS AI) analyzes “over 30 billion odds movements” annually from more than 600 operators, and claims modern manipulation trends are concentrated in live betting, stating approximately 89% of cases target in-play markets. It also says that in 2025, “AI drove a 56% increase in detections.”
