BETBY TO POWER LEADING ASIAN BRAND FUN88 IN LATAM EXPANSION
Betby, an innovative sports betting provider, has expanded its footprint in Latin America by going live with the Fun88 brand in a new long-term partnership.
One of Asia’s leading betting and gaming sites, earlier this year Fun88 solidified its ties with Premier League football club Newcastle United as the club’s official Asian betting partner for the 2023/2024 season and beyond.
Fun88 carried out a thorough search for a sportsbook partner that would provide it with the level of freedom required for the operator to innovate and develop unique sports betting experiences in the LatAm landscape.
With a proven track record, Betby’s cutting-edge and flexible technology, coupled with official data feeds and advanced suite of APIs will enable the brand to achieve its differentiation goals. The operator will also be able to leverage its access to the Betby.Games AI-generated content module and feed to drive its growth strategy in the region through unique content.
Betby anticipates that this partnership will contribute substantial satisfactions for both parties in alignment with the regulatory updates stemming from the highly dynamic Latin American region.
Chris Nikolopoulos, COO at Betby, expressed optimism about the partnership, stating: “Fun88 has established itself as a leading brand in the Asian market. With an experienced leadership team, and an ambitious growth strategy, Fun88 has all the ingredients Betby looks for in an operator.”
A spokesperson at Fun88 said: “We are excited about our partnership with Betby and look forward to bringing our passion and expertise for sports and betting to the Latin-American market. The overall quality and flexibility of Betby along with their dedicated team support makes us confident in this collaboration.”

Esportes Gaming Brasil lands three brand nominations at Reclame Aqui Awards 2026
Esportes Gaming Brasil (EGB) says all three of its brands—Esportes da Sorte, Onabet and Lottu—have been shortlisted for the Reclame Aqui Awards 2026, a Brazilian awards programme focused on corporate reputation and customer relationships. The group announced the nominations on Thursday 16th July.
EGB said it is the first time the three brands have been nominated simultaneously. Esportes da Sorte is shortlisted in the Ultra Sports Betting Operators (Mega Operations) category, while Onabet and Lottu are in the Sports Betting Operators (Mega Operations) category.
“Receiving nominations for all three Group brands at the Reclame Aqui Awards for the first time is incredibly meaningful recognition of the work we carry out every day. More than simply an achievement, it reflects our consistent strategy of putting the customer at the centre of every decision by investing in technology, operational efficiency and personalised customer service to build long-term relationships based on trust,” said Maria Neves, Director of Customer Experience, Customer Support and Reputation Channels at Esportes Gaming Brasil.
The company attributed the nominations to ongoing investment in customer service processes, technology integration, employee training and changes to the user journey across its brands. EGB also said it reduced average response time for human customer support from 30 minutes to two minutes.
Reclame Aqui Awards winners are decided by consumer voting, according to the company. Public voting for the 2026 edition is scheduled to run from 2 September to 5 November.

QTech signs EXCO Game Studio slots for emerging markets
Deal adds four live titles and a development pipeline to QTech’s game aggregation platform, with a focus on LatAm and Africa distribution.
QTech has signed a content deal with EXCO Game Studio to add the supplier’s online slot titles to QTech’s game aggregation platform, targeting distribution across emerging markets including LatAm and Africa.
The agreement covers EXCO’s existing catalogue of four live games—VEGASCALINE, The Robbin’ Goblins, LUNA X and Piranha Bite Club—alongside a pipeline of upcoming releases named in the announcement as Apex Dregs, The Necrobeats and Hella Rella.
EXCO said its content runs on its proprietary GAMEX mechanic system and a configurable bonus suite called EXCO HACKS, which it says can be used by operators to vary volatility and engagement by market.
Philip Doftvik, QTech’s CEO, said: “EXCO Game Studio is fast becoming renowned for creating clever, fresh-faced mechanics for compelling and immersive experiences. In a homogenous space often devoid of original thinking, they offer mechanics which afford players a breakthrough user experience which they don’t get anywhere else.
“Their social mechanics also caught our eye, and QTech Play’s recommendation engine is now surfacing that shareable content to the players most likely to engage with it. The direction of travel is clear: entertainment in our markets is something players do together, not alone.”
Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at EXCO Game Studio, added: “The online slots industry is drowning in copycat product – another reskin wearing a new hat, every single time. Players clock it fast now. They abandon games quicker than ever, retention craters, engagement dies, because when everything looks the same, nothing matters. At EXCO we don’t do boardroom handcuffs and we don’t do safe. Our job is new themes, new mechanics, things that actually make a player feel something: concepts that make you pause mid-scroll, settings people actually talk about, characters you remember, stories that don’t follow the usual script. Terrible news for lazy studios. Excellent news for everyone else.”
