New deal with lottery operator brand brings significant increase in retail presence

SIS (Sports Information Services), the leading multi-channel supplier of 24/7 live betting services, is taking its 24/7 Live Racing Content to a substantially greater number of bettors in Malta after striking a deal with national lottery operator IZI Group’s retail brand IZIBET.

Following a successful integration, SIS’ provision of high-quality round-the-clock horse and greyhound racing from around the world will be delivered to over 200 retail sites across the island. IZIBET is managed by IZI Group, the gaming group that operates Malta’s iconic Dragonara Casino and, since July 5^th 2022, the National Lottery of Malta.

The development significantly enhances the Maltese exposure of SIS’ content, which provides profitable short form betting opportunities across an annual total of 30,000 horse races and 38,000 greyhound events, taking place at over 170 racecourses across five continents. All racing content is supplied as an end-to-end solution, including live streamed pictures, data, commentary, and on-screen graphics with betting triggers along with an extensive range of markets and prices.

The latest in a string of new operator partnerships provides further evidence of the continued commercial growth of SIS, with the supplier’s partners worldwide benefiting from a range of proven, revenue-boosting services.

Dave Richardson, Commercial Manager (UK & Europe) at SIS, said: “This latest boost to our profile is the result of our strategy of partnering with the right brands that we can confidently move forward with. IZIBET is a well-known and trusted brand in Malta, and this deal offers us incredible access to a thriving retail market. We’re delighted to be able to offer even more bettors the best racing products currently available.”

Franco De Gabriele, Chief Commercial Officer of IZI Group, said: “We are very excited to extend our collaboration with SIS for all our customers of the National Lottery. We have been working with SIS for several years, providing a compelling horse racing product through our network of IZIBET Shops. Through the takeover of the National Lottery of Malta earlier this year, we are glad to have extended the SIS horse racing betting service to a network of over 200 outlets across Malta, creating the largest retail sports betting network in Malta under a single brand.”

Esportes Gaming Brasil has just launched LOTTU, its new digital betting and entertainment platform. Modern, bold, and interactive, the brand was created with the purpose of delivering a faster, more personalized, and more efficient experience for bettors.

With this launch, the group now operates with the maximum limit of three brands authorized by the five-year federal license granted by the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting of the Ministry of Finance (SPA/MF), as established by Law 14.790/2023. In addition to LOTTU, the portfolio includes Esportes da Sorte and OnaBet.

“LOTTU reflects everything we’ve learned in recent years, but with a real leap in performance and usability. It is a platform built from the ground up, with a focus on speed, real-time promotions, and navigation tailored to different bettor profiles,” says Darwin Henrique da Silva Filho, CEO of Esportes Gaming Brasil Group.

With proprietary architecture and a high degree of customization, LOTTU offers features that allow greater flexibility for promotions, dynamic layouts, and a smoother user journey. The applied technology expands interaction and engagement possibilities, with an emphasis on responsiveness and operational intelligence.

“The arrival of LOTTU represents more than just a portfolio expansion. It materializes a brand that combines technology, aesthetics, and dynamism to deliver a truly differentiated experience. From concept to design, every detail was crafted to connect with the modern bettor, who values agility, trust, and innovation,” highlights Marcela Campos, Vice President of Esportes Gaming Brasil.

The system also incorporates monitoring tools that proactively identify signs of risky behavior—redirecting users to specialized support channels and reinforcing the group’s commitment to responsible gaming practices.

More than expanding its portfolio, the launch of LOTTU consolidates Esportes Gaming Brasil as one of the leading groups in the sector, with a strong institutional presence in Brazil’s sports and cultural scene—through initiatives such as sponsorships of clubs like Corinthians, Ceará, Ferroviária, and Náutico, and support for regional events such as Carnival, São João, and the Parintins Festival.

MeitY Blocked 1300 Illegal Sites But Offshore Platforms Still Exist

The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) in India has issued 1298 orders between 2022 and 2024 to block online betting, gambling, and gaming websites. But executives from real money gaming firms allege that non-compliant offshore platforms continued to thrive in India.

Additionally, the Directorate General of Goods and Services Tax Intelligence (DGGI), in a note published in March, said it had blocked 357 non-compliant offshore RMG entities, with 700 more under scrutiny.

With the ban on homegrown RMG platforms, offshore entities are expected to thrive, cornering the entire Indian market through a web of channels on social media messaging platforms and proliferation of these apps operated from regulatory havens.

“The cracking down on offshore platforms led us to believe that the centre was focussed on curbing these operators by working with the homegrown industry as partners. There were risk and analytics people advising the government on illegal money flows and suspicious behaviour,” an executive with knowledge of the matter said.

Executives added that the industry co-operated with the government on cracking down the offshore entities during the past few months. Offshore entities continued to promote their services through outdoor advertising, despite government orders to block them, they said.

Executives noted that bans on legitimate operators in states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu pushed RMG activity towards offshore companies in the past.

They cautioned that after a complete ban is imposed on companies in India, there could be a rise in instances of financial distress and money laundering, since offshore entities are immune to regulatory scrutiny.

“The demand does not evaporate because of this ban, the demand is still there. It’s just that a different set of operators will be available now to fulfill that,” an executive said.

PRAHAR’s (Public Response Against Helplessness and Action for Addressal) July 2024 survey of 2500 gamers in Telangana—where RMG has been banned for eight years—found more than 94% of players still accessing offshore or illicit apps through VPNs, Telegram groups, or sideloaded platforms.
