Livespins has further elevated the socially charged, edge-of-the-seat online casino experience that it provides players with the addition of renowned slot developer, FUGASO, to its already impressive game lobby.

The deal means that Livespins’ superstar streamers can now use the studio’s in-demand content in their broadcasts to players, adding more quality and variety to its next-generation streaming platform. This includes titles such as Sugar Drop, Magnify Man, Diamond Blitz series and the upcoming utility patented series at RUNNING REELS™ & RUNNING WINS™.

FUGASO has made a name for itself by designing and developing slots that are visually striking and that keep players engaged through unique mechanics and bonus features, with gamification also a key part of the gameplay.

The partnership with FUGASO comes hot on the heels of similar deals with big-name studios and will allow the developer to drive awareness of its slots among the next generation of online casino player.

Livespins is the first platform of its kind that allows players to not only watch streams but get directly involved in the action. This is achieved through an innovative bet behind feature that sees players back their favourite streamers in real-time.

This creates a group bet and a shared experience with each player able to choose their bet and the number of spins. Social interaction comes in the form of players being able to chat with the streamer and each other throughout. They can also drop reactions and emojis.

Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “FUGASO has launched some truly fantastic games in recent months, and I know that our streamers will be chomping at the bit to start spinning the reels on titles such as Sugar Drop and broadcast the action to players.

“Content is such an integral part of a slot stream, and that is why we continue to join forces with the best developers in the business so that our streamers have access to the games that players want to watch being played and also bet behind.

“I’d like to welcome FUGASO to the Livespins family and look forward to watching our streamers fire up the reels on its blockbuster slots.”

Robert Metzger, Business Development Director at FUGASO, added: “Livespins is a pioneer in the slot streaming space, and we are thrilled to have joined its revolution at such an early stage. Our games are perfect for streamers, delivering plenty of action with each spin to keep them and their audiences engaged at all times.

“This partnership will also allow us to get our games in front of an entirely new audience of online casino player and showcase the engaging and entertaining experience they provide.”

When LATAM gambles: Blask reveals seasonality patterns across six countries

Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia represent six distinct iGaming markets — each with its own regulatory framework, player base and cultural rhythms. Yet beneath these differences lie powerful shared drivers: domestic football seasons concluding in Q4, mandatory year-end bonuses injecting billions into local economies, and national holidays that stretch into multi-day celebrations.

Using Blask’s Seasonality feature, player activity across all six countries was analyzed to map engagement peaks by month, day and hour. While regional trends are visible, the execution varies sharply at the local level.

Here’s what the data reveals.

Brazil: The Q4 Convergence Effect

In Brazil, November and December form a clear peak driven by three converging factors.

The Brasileirão season concludes in early December, with title races and relegation battles intensifying betting activity. At the same time, the Copa Libertadores semifinals and final fall in October and November — and Brazilian clubs’ recent dominance has kept engagement high.

The economic boost comes from the décimo terceiro, Brazil’s mandatory 13th salary paid in two instalments by November 30 and December 20. In 2024 alone, it injected R$321 billion into the economy, increasing disposable income during football’s decisive phase.

Saturday edges out Sunday as the top-performing day, reflecting the league’s fixture concentration. Weekends dominate overall, with a pronounced spike between 1 AM and 5 AM on Friday-to-Saturday nights — a sign that late-night casino sessions complement live sports betting.

Argentina: Aguinaldo and League Finals

December leads the calendar in Argentina, driven by the Liga Profesional’s mid-December conclusion and the aguinaldo, the country’s mandatory 13th salary paid by June 30 and December 18.

Sunday ranks highest for engagement, closely followed by Saturday, aligning with concentrated weekend fixtures. The peak activity window — midnight to 3 AM on Saturday-to-Sunday nights — reflects pre-match anticipation and late-night casino play following the workweek.

The pattern closely mirrors Brazil’s Q4 surge, but with a stronger Sunday bias.

Mexico: Liguilla and Late-Night Culture

December again stands out, coinciding with the Liga MX Apertura playoffs (Liguilla) and the championship final in mid-December. The aguinaldo — at least 15 days’ salary, paid by December 20 — provides additional liquidity at the same time.

Sunday leads weekly activity, with Saturday close behind. However, Mexico’s most distinctive feature is its consistent 2–3 AM activity peak across all days, amplified on weekends.

This pattern suggests a strong late-night gambling culture, where casino verticals such as slots, crash games and live dealer experiences drive engagement alongside sports betting.

Chile: September Over December

Unlike its regional peers, Chile’s biggest month is September — not December.

The surge is powered by Fiestas Patrias (September 18–19), the country’s most significant national celebration. When calendar alignment allows, festivities can stretch into a full week, with fondas, music and social gatherings creating a nationwide party atmosphere that extends into online gambling.

Saturday is the dominant day, with activity elevated throughout. Peaks occur around midnight on Friday-to-Saturday nights and again during Saturday afternoon (3–5 PM), indicating a blend of late-night casino play and daytime sports betting.

Peru: The Purple Month Effect

October and November represent Peru’s peak period, with November slightly ahead.

The Clausura tournament reaches its decisive stretch in early November, while October is dominated by Señor de los Milagros — the country’s largest religious festival. Celebrations extend into All Saints’ Day (November 1) and Day of the Dead (November 2), creating a sustained festive period.

Unlike Brazil and Mexico, Peru’s engagement is concentrated during daytime weekend hours, particularly morning and afternoon. This suggests a stronger alignment with live Liga 1 fixtures rather than late-night casino sessions.

Colombia: Primetime Precision

In Colombia, November leads, with October close behind.

The Torneo Finalización enters its cuadrangulares (semifinal group stage) during this period, building toward a December final. Anticipation around the prima de servicios — a mandatory half-month salary bonus due by December 20 — also supports late-year liquidity.

Sunday is the clear weekly leader, with evening primetime activity standing out. Engagement closely mirrors Liga BetPlay broadcast schedules, indicating sports betting is the primary driver rather than late-night casino behaviour.

The Bigger Picture: Regional Liquidity, Local Execution

Across LATAM, the Q4 bonus cycle — décimo terceiro, aguinaldo, prima de servicios and similar payouts — represents a predictable liquidity event spanning six major markets within an eight-week window. Crucially, it coincides with domestic football seasons reaching their climax.

However, peak timing differs significantly:

Mexico’s engagement spikes at 2 AM, while Peru’s is daytime-focused.
September outperforms December in Chile.
Colombia revolves around Sunday primetime broadcasts.
Brazil peaks on Saturday nights.

The takeaway is clear: while seasonality patterns are regional, execution must be hyper-local. Campaigns, product pushes and marketing spend need to align not just with the right month — but the right day and even the right hour in each individual market.
