BETBY has signed a partnership with Vibra Gaming that will see the B2B sportsbook supplier deliver its full solution to the Latin American platform developer, including its AI-powered tools and proprietary esports feed.

Through the agreement, Vibra Gaming will integrate BETBY’s sportsbook via a single API, giving its operator partners access to more than 500,000 monthly events without significant development overhead.

The integration is designed to reduce time-to-market for operators looking to add sports betting to an existing multi-vertical offering.

A key component of the deal is the inclusion of Betby.Games, BETBY’s esports feed, which includes hyper-localised titles such as eVaquejada and eFootVolley — products built specifically for Latin American audiences.

“This partnership is a natural fit for both sides,” said Stefanos Karakidis, Business Development Director at BETBY.

“What makes this collaboration particularly strong is how seamlessly our solution integrates into Vibra’s ecosystem, enabling their casino operator partners to expand into sports betting in a fast, efficient and scalable way.”

Werter Luna, CEO at Vibra Gaming, said the integration expands the platform with a sports betting offering that matches the company’s standards for performance and adaptability.

“We are particularly excited about the potential of combining their technology and esports content with our localised approach to further enhance the player experience across Latin America.”

BETBY holds operational licences in Brazil and Peru and has been actively expanding its footprint across the region. The Vibra Gaming partnership is part of that broader push into Latin America.
