Gaming Innovation Group powering Bplay launch in Mendoza, Argentina

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has announced its award winning platform is now live in Mendoza, Argentina, following the launch of the Boldt Group’s popular Bplay site in the province. This launch adds to the growing presence of GiG powered sites throughout the LatAm region.
A strong, locally recognised brand, Bplay is continuing to expand and grow throughout Argentina, now adding a fifth new jurisdiction to the current provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and the City of Buenos Aires.
The launch also further strengthens the partnership between the two companies, with GiG consolidating its position as the online technology partner of choice to the Boldt Group, one of the leading retail and online operations in Latin America. GiG’s powerful proprietary platform and Sportsbook have helped Bplay experience spectacular growth in Argentina, multiplying GGR by over four times in the 12 months between May 2022 and May 2023. As a result of the expanding relationship it is expected that Sportsbook will be launched in Mendoza in Q3, to complement the platform.
GiG’s market leading B2B platform has been specifically designed for highly competitive and complex regulated markets that require localised content and development. This commitment to compliance and customisation has meant that GiG is now regulated in 30 markets worldwide, with 7 more in the pipeline, and provides ample opportunity for growth for Tier 1 partners such as Bplay.
David Bonnefous Saavedra, Commercial Director at GiG said: “Our excellent relationship with the Boldt Group and the continuing expansion of our original deal, highlights the strength of our Platform, technology and managed services teams. We’ve positioned ourselves to be able to support our partners growth aspirations, understanding where those opportunities are and ensuring we not only meet those expectations, but exceed them. It is this ability to offer a localised and personalised service to a tier 1 operator like Bplay, that we believe places GiG as a market leader in the B2B space.”
José del Pino, Business Unit Manager of Grupo Boldt added that “Bplay continues to provide the best gaming experience for our clients in Latin America, leading not only in the launch of new licenses, incorporating new and great games and products, but also improving user satisfaction.”

Together, we are ready to continue achieving great success and strengthening our shared vision for the future.”
Racing Club President Diego Milito expressed his happiness with the agreement, emphasising his hope that the partnership will continue for many years, further elevating Racing Club’s legacy and delighting its passionate fans. The forward legend Milito, also played for Inter (2009–2014) – a team with Betsson Sport as their main jersey partner – was a key player for the club, securing six major titles, including the 2009/10 Champions League win.
The agreement is set for two years, with an option to renew for an additional two years. Betsson has also committed to enhancing fan engagement by creating exclusive experiences for Racing Club members and supporters across Latin America, including events, raffles, and other activities that bring the Club closer to its community and followers.

This strengthened partnership represents our commitment to not only support the team but also to deepen the connection between Racing Club and its passionate fanbase. Together, we look forward to creating unforgettable experiences that celebrate the club’s rich history and exciting future.”
On social media, Betsson is using the hashtag #VamosParaAdelante (Let’s Move Forward) to celebrate this new chapter, marked by the prominent placement of the logo on the jersey and the shared goal of achieving continued success.
