As its lead commercial representative, SPORTFIVE will work together with Gen.G to build a competitive internationalisation strategy and support the commercial development of its esports and gaming initiatives.

The global esports market revenue is growing exponentially every year, with a major segment attributed to sponsorships. More and more non-endemic brands are also realising the attractiveness and popularity of esports as a marketing opportunity, especially when engaging with the younger demographic. As such, we are thrilled to be teaming up with Gen.G in these exciting times, to optimise their commercial potential and maximise value for their avid global gaming audience.”

Gen.G has won seven global championships to date. Most recently, Gen.G’s LoL team clinched their first-ever LoL Champions Korea (LCK) championship title, after defeating T1 in the grand finals of the 2022 LCK Summer Season. This has enabled Gen.G to claim Korea’s first seed for the LoL World Championship 2022 which kicked off on 29 September.

Oddin.gg has been officially registered as a supplier by the Lottery of the City of Buenos Aires (LOTBA). This authorization clears the way for Oddin.gg to provide its end-to-end esports betting ecosystem—including its Odds Feed, Risk Management, BetBuilder, Widgets, and more—to licensed operators in the City of Buenos Aires. The milestone reinforces Oddin.gg’s strategic focus on supporting partners across Latin America.

LOTBA, the regulatory authority for online gaming within the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, is well known for its rigorous compliance and technical standards. While the body manages licensing and enforcement, suppliers must undergo a formal registration process before providing services to local operators. Oddin.gg’s successful registration confirms that it has met all relevant technical, financial, and compliance requirements.

Juana Bischoff, Senior Business Development Manager LATAM at Oddin.gg, said: “Being officially registered with LOTBA marks an important step in Oddin.gg’s long-term commitment to the Latin American market. Esports is gaining real traction across the region, and we want operators in Buenos Aires—and beyond—to have the tools and insight to deliver a top-tier esports betting experience. We’re not just bringing leading technology—we’re bringing the local expertise and regulatory awareness needed to help our partners like Betsson and Jugadon grow.”
