Altenar Goes Live in Mexico with Winpot Partnership
Award-winning sportsbook enhances Latin American offering with new deal
Altenar, the leading sportsbook and iGaming software provider, has boosted its presence in Latin America thanks to an agreement with Mexican operator, Winpot.
The new partnership will see Altenar provide its state-of-the-art software and award-winning services to Winpot with the product going live on both online and retail channels.
Established in 2006, Winpot can also boast a state-of-the-art platform, Wiztech, which offers customers the choice of over 12,000 games from more than 70 suppliers.
Thanks to the deal, the operator will be set to greatly boost its sports betting offering via Altenar’s wide selection of virtual sports, lottery and quinielas (the Hispanic equivalent of pool coupons for football).
As well as online, Winpot is active in 19 different locations across the country and has plans to greatly increase its reach across the Mexican market thanks to Altenar’s inhouse retail terminal system.
Offering one of LatAm’s most advanced in-shop solutions, Altenar’s retail technology provides a fully customizable player experience, built with a front-end to suit Winpot’s bespoke requirements.
Commenting on the deal, Angelos Stravelas, Account Manager at Altenar, said: “We are delighted to begin our journey with Winpot, who is undoubtedly one of Mexico’s biggest iGaming companies. To extend our footprint within Mexico is a real coup for us and with Winpot having over 15 years’ experience in the region, it will be able to showcase our sportsbook to maximum effect.”
Yoni Sidi, Chief Executive Officer at Winpot, said: “We are thrilled to announce our latest collaboration with Altenar. By integrating its cutting-edge sportsbook technology with our established casino platform, we are elevating our offerings to provide an exceptional and comprehensive gaming experience for our customers. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to innovation and growth and we look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship.”
Anuar Haua, Chief Operating Officer at Winpot, added: “A successful partnership requires strategic thinking, trust and the right combination of elements. We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Altenar that will bring together the best of both worlds; the expertise of our current casino platform and the dynamic sports betting experience of Altenar. With this collaboration, we’re confident that we’ll hit the jackpot and deliver an unparalleled gaming experience to our customers.”
Altenar’s successes have been recognized with multiple award wins in the past twelve months including the MiGEAs, EGR Nordics, EGR Italy, SBC Latin America and the Baltic and Scandinavian Gaming Awards. Licensed across a total of 13 major global markets including certifications from the UKGC and MGA, Altenar has established itself as the sportsbook provider of choice for multiple leading operators.

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
