FACEIT, the leading competitive platform for online multiplayer games, with over 26 million users has today announced a significant update to the platform for South American CS:GO players. The update will include an improved Matchmaking experience with language-based matching, improved translation and a better user interface to allow players to track their rank and Elo rating with ease. In addition, players will have access to the best Anti-Cheat in the market and opportunities to play against the best in the FACEIT Pro League, with a monthly prize pool up for grabs.

FACEIT’s new and improved Matchmaking system underwent several updates following a number of player surveys from the last year and input shared by the players, professional players, content creators and important community figures in the South American region. Based on this feedback, FACEIT has upgraded its Matchmaking queue technology which will now start to match players not only by their skill, but also the language they speak to make sure they are able to communicate with their teammates in their local language.

Players that purchase a premium subscription will now enjoy a new perk of getting a higher chance to be matched with other premium players to ensure higher quality match experience. The new update also brings an improved platform translation in Portuguese-Brazilian, so players can use the website in their native language, and receive localised customer service, ensuring players get accessible help in their first language. Along with a better interface to track your rank, the PLAY dashboard will provide faster access to matches.

FACEIT is also introducing a new Clan feature which includes a 100% free and unlimited lobby system allowing players to easily find other like-minded players to socialise and play FACEIT matchmaking together. Players will be able to group friends easier, and avoid having to play alone. Each clan will have its own local moderation team which will administer the space and ensure a safe, accessible and friendly environment for all clan members. Furia and 00 Nation are two of the organisations already signed up to run their own Clan.

FACEIT’s industry-pioneering anti-cheat technology will also be available for South American players. FACEIT’s best-in-class Anti-Cheat combines state-of-the-art cheat detection, unique analysis and a combination of several behavioural systems that detect and deal with cheating in real time while building a cheat detection library.

Finally, players will be able to win a number of rewards. Through missions, daily ladders and tournament players can win thousands of FACEIT Points which can be used to purchase skins or Steam gift cards. In-game items can also be won through monthly premium missions. In November the fan-favourite Gamma Doppler-Gut Knife will be up for grabs for players who complete the mission and earn over 65,000 FACEIT Points. For players who are keen to develop their skills professionally the FACEIT Pro League will offer a $12,500 (USD) monthly prize pool.

President of Digital Platform at ESL FACEIT Group, Fabio Floris commented: “Our mission is to provide the best competitive gaming experience to CS:GO players globally. South America has a very historical and deep gaming ecosystem and is one of the fast-growing regions in the world. We’re delighted to develop our FACEIT offering for this community and we hope to continue to build on this investment over the coming years.”

Players across South America can follow FACEIT on Twitter and Instagram to find out more about the updates and incentives on offer for the region.

Gaming Corps has launched its online casino content with bet365 in Alberta on the first day of the province’s regulated market opening on 13 July 2026, while also expanding its content distribution with the operator in Ontario and Spain.

The Sweden-based game developer said it is among the first wave of studios fully certified for Alberta’s newly regulated market. Gaming Corps will support bet365’s Alberta entry with more than 50 games at launch, spanning Slots, Table, Plinko, Mine Games and Instant Blitz.

As part of the expanded partnership, Gaming Corps said bet365 will also gain access to its football-themed titles, including Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, and its 3 Pigs franchise, including 3 Pigs of Olympus, 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog, and 3 Pigs of the Caribbean.

The rollout also includes Gaming Corps’ Low RTP Blackjack titles, which the company said are designed around 93.57% RTP and approximately 6% operator hold, with flexible branding options and side-bet mechanics.

Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “Extending our partnership with bet365 across Spain, Ontario and Alberta is a major moment for Gaming Corps, but Alberta is the real statement here. Going live with bet365 from day one reflects the work our teams have put into certification, onboarding and ensuring we can move quickly and confidently with major operator partners.

“As one of the earliest studios ready for Alberta, we’ll be bringing more than 50 titles to the province. That breadth matters, because it gives operators like bet365 a single partner across multiple verticals, with content designed to support acquisition, engagement and retention across different player segments. Spain and Ontario are also important regulated markets for us and expanding with a global operator of this scale highlights how far Gaming Corps has come in a short period of time.”

Richard Graham, Associate VP of Gaming at bet365at bet365 said: “Gaming Corps has become a valuable content partner, combining recognisable game identities with formats that add variety across our casino offering. We are pleased to extend the partnership into Spain, Ontario and Alberta, with the Alberta launch particularly important as part of our day-one commitment to the market.

“Expanding the relationship across multiple territories in a relatively short period reflects the strength of the collaboration, as well as the Gaming Corps team’s clear product direction, commitment and continued development as a game vendor. We look forward to giving players access to a wide-ranging portfolio from the moment the market opens.”
