Altenar, a sportsbook software provider, has recently partnered with Betti, who creates the Casino experience players deserve.

Melding Bettis secure payment methods, a tailor-made casino promotion tool, and player promotions with Altenars risk management systems, several data feed providers, a plethora of sports content and 24/7 customer support players of Bettis Altenar-powered sportsbook will receive a tier-one betting experience.

Altenar looks forward to the growing relationship with Betti and the new heights soon to be reached.

A spokesperson from Betti had this to say on the partnership: “We ended up with Altenar as our Sportsbook provider after months of comparison. What it came down to was the current feature offering within their product but also, most importantly, we felt Altenars ambition and future plans are in-line with where we want to see Betti Sportsbook in the future.”

Speaking with Betti, Altenar was offered great insight into the partnership, history and benefits of this new relationship, here’s what a spokesperson for Betti had to say …

Can you give us some background information/company history on Betti?

The people behind Betti.com have been in the industry since 2004-6 with backgrounds from major players like Bet365, Betsson and Comeon in roles such as Brand Manager, Head of Casino and Head of Sportsbook. We are a close group of friends that felt we are ready to take the step to run our own business, and in the summer of 2021 we started our journey towards going live. Now finally we are live and slowly finding our ways forward.

What is Betti’s core expertise, and what do they offer?

This question could be asked by a player, or by a investor =) As you know, the difference between running a profitable company and not is not always visible actions. But for players in an elevator pitch I would say –

Based on who we are (we are and love gambling) and the experience we have, our core expertise is to know what the player wants and when, together with delivering it in an innovative way. Working with platfroms such as Altenar you must be creative to stand out. Betti will always strive to stand out, in all ways, every step on the way.

What will the partnership look like once it’s live? (i.e. how will both be integrated together?)

I see our partnership as a close relationship where we at Betti will trust the work on developments and risk monitoring to have the right decisions and priorities. And at the same time as Betti grows, Altenar will evaluate any feature requests or change requests coming in from our side. Bottom line you could say, we feel safe with making sure that if we bring in the traffic, Altenar’s traders and their system will make sure we both see great ROI.

What are the key benefits of the partnership for Altenar and Betti?

Not sure I understand the question. But the way I understand it my answer would be: Betti is a startup and we will need time to become the size we aim for, which is perfectly fitting in with the Altenar offering and current position in the industry.

What are the benefits for the players?

At Betti we offer several ongoing campaigns for our sportsbetting players. All because of Altenar’s excellent product. Some of the offerings are;

Free bets, Risk Free Bets, Predictor challenge, Early Payout, Bore Draw and Bet Builder

Which core markets will this partnership focus on?

To start we are focusing on Nordics and Germany.

Meridianbet Doubles Down on Belgium: New Casino License Unlocks €455m Market Segment

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: This is a classic “Cross-Sell” play. Meridianbet has already spent seven years building a sports betting database in Belgium. By securing this B+ license, they can now monetize those same users with higher-margin casino products (slots, table games) without needing to acquire new traffic from scratch. With the Belgian casino sector growing at 20% year-over-year, this is a significant revenue unlock for the GMGI portfolio.

The Full Story

Meridianbet, the sports betting and gaming operator owned by Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has successfully expanded its regulatory footprint in Europe by securing a B+ online gaming license in Belgium.

The new license (B+ 4016) authorizes the company to launch a comprehensive online casino platform—featuring slots, table games, and automated live games—starting in January 2026. This move significantly broadens the operator’s capabilities in the country, complementing its existing sports betting operations which have been active in the Belgian market for seven years.

Targeting the Largest Market Segment The strategic rationale behind the license is clear: Casino is now the dominant force in Belgian gambling. According to the Belgian Gaming Commission, the online casino vertical generated €455 million in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) in 2023, representing a 20.2% year-over-year increase.

By entering this vertical, Meridianbet gains access to the largest and fastest-growing segment of a market that generated a total of €944.6 million last year.

Tech-First Entry Meridianbet plans to deploy its proprietary AI Casino Recommender technology for the Belgian launch. This system analyzes player behavior and preferences in real-time to deliver personalized game suggestions, a crucial differentiator in a highly concentrated market where just ten operators account for 94% of all online wagers.

Regulatory Context Belgium is known for having one of Europe’s strictest regulatory frameworks, characterized by rigorous compliance standards and player protection protocols. Securing this license validates Meridianbet’s operational standards and deepens its foothold in a “mature” market that is notoriously difficult for new entrants to penetrate.

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: In the iGaming affiliate space, the five-year mark is a critical survival threshold. Many media startups fade away before reaching it. LinkDataMedia’s decision to rebrand now is a classic “graduation” signal. By shedding their startup skin for a more corporate, “blue-chip” aesthetic (the stability-focused blue triangle), they are telling operators and partners that they are no longer just an affiliate project, but a stable infrastructure partner ready for larger commercial deals.

The Full Story

LinkDataMedia, the parent company behind the popular affiliate portal Gamblers Connect, has announced a comprehensive corporate rebrand to coincide with its fifth anniversary.

The overhaul includes a completely refreshed brand identity, a redesigned logo, and a fully revamped website, all of which are now live. The move is described by the company not as a mere cosmetic update, but as a strategic pivot designed to distance the business from its “startup roots” and reflect its current status as an established player in the competitive iGaming media landscape.

Visualizing Maturity The new visual language features a modernized blue triangular logo, a shape chosen to represent “stability and forward momentum.” The digital user experience has also been streamlined, offering partners a cleaner interface that aligns better with the company’s matured operational capabilities.

Management Commentary Gjorgje Ristikj, Founder and CEO of LinkDataMedia, commented on the significance of hitting the half-decade milestone in such a volatile industry:

“Surviving the first five years in business takes more than luck. It takes belief, resilience, and the right people around you. This milestone, and the rebrand, reflect exactly that.”

Implementation The new branding has already been deployed across the main corporate website and is currently being rolled out across LinkDataMedia’s social media channels and internal communication platforms. As the company enters its sixth year, the refreshed identity aims to set the stage for a new phase of expansion and innovation.

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: As ICE makes its historic move to Barcelona, established tech providers like Win Systems are under pressure to bring their “A-game” to the larger venue. The focus here isn’t just on cabinets; it’s the ecosystem. By highlighting WIGOS (their CMS) alongside WIN PAY, Win Systems is positioning itself as an infrastructure partner, not just a hardware supplier. The debut of the Gold Club Colors roulette specifically targets the growing demand for visually customizable electronic table games (ETGs).

The Full Story

Win Systems, the global provider of technology for the gaming and entertainment industry, has confirmed its product roadmap for ICE Barcelona 2026, the sector’s most significant international event taking place from January 19 to 21.

Exhibiting at Stand 3M30 at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via, the company will leverage the new venue to showcase a broad portfolio designed to cover the entire casino floor—from management systems to the gaming floor itself.

Systems and Fintech At the core of the showcase is WIGOS, the company’s flagship Casino Management System (CMS). WIGOS is widely recognized for connecting thousands of machines across multiple countries, and the Barcelona display will focus on advanced tools that streamline daily operations and optimize player retention.

Complementing the CMS, Win Systems will present WIN PAY, its secure transaction platform. As cashless and seamless payment solutions become standard requirements for operators, WIN PAY offers the necessary efficiency and security controls for modern gaming environments.

Hardware: Roulette and Slots On the hardware side, Win Systems is refreshing its electronic table game offering with the new Gold Club Colors electronic roulette. The Gold Club line has long been a staple in the company’s portfolio, known for its compact footprint and reliability; the “Colors” iteration promises to maximize visual impact on the floor.

Alongside the roulette, the company will display its latest slot hardware, including the Sublime and Rhapsody cabinets. These units are designed to house the company’s extensive game library, which has been adapted to suit diverse market profiles from Europe to Latin America.

Strategic Goals Win Systems aims to use the three-day event to reinforce its 30-year legacy in the industry. The company described its participation as a commitment to “continuous innovation,” inviting operators and regulators to explore how their integrated solutions can improve in-room performance.
