His recruitment is part of a concerted drive to expand Soft2Bet’s B2B reach and grow its business and market share in Latin America, possibly the fastest-growing iGaming region in the world currently.

Latin America is one of the fastest growing regions in the world for iGaming and he will bring energy, drive and contacts to develop our growth in the region. I’m looking forward to seeing him get involved and develop our Latam footprint.”
With Brazil’s and Peru’s regulation of online gaming set to go live in the near future and major markets such as Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia already highly active, South America is a vibrant and growing region for the industry.
It is also a region where localisation and personalisation are key in attracting and retaining players and Soft2Bet’s gamification features are the perfect fit for operators wanting to growth their activities in South America.

ZEAL launches Dream Car Raffle charity lottery in Germany
ZEAL has launched Dream Car Raffle (Traumautoverlosung), a new charity lottery offering in the regulated German gambling market. The company said the product is developed in-house and adds to its portfolio alongside its lottery brokerage business.
Traumautoverlosung is operated by Dreamify gGmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of ZEAL, while marketing and sales is handled by Lotto24 AG, also part of the group. ZEAL said the launch follows the Dream House Raffle (Traumhausverlosung) introduced in 2024 and freiheit+, making Traumautoverlosung its third charity lottery in Germany.
“With Traumautoverlosung, ZEAL continues its strategy of complementing its traditional lottery brokerage business with proprietary products, targeting new customer segments and reducing its dependence on jackpot-driven cycles of state lotteries,” the company said. Stefan Tweraser, CEO of ZEAL Group, added: “We are pleased to further expand our core business with attractive new products. Traumautoverlosung is another step towards diversifying our portfolio and reaching new target groups.”
ZEAL said Traumautoverlosung is structured with a limited number of tickets and a guaranteed winner. At launch, a Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be raffled, with a total of 250,000 tickets available. “With Traumautoverlosung, we are focusing on cars that are otherwise out of reach for many people – highly desirable models that are often difficult to obtain on the market,” said Michael Lee, founder of Traumautoverlosung. “Our goal is to translate this demand into a transparent, digital product with clearly defined mechanics.”
As a charity lottery, the product allocates at least 20 percent of ticket revenue to charitable causes, according to ZEAL. The company said the initiative will partner with Johanniter in 2026.

Allwyn revamps National Lottery Lotto and brings Powerball to the UK
Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, will introduce a new two-round Lotto format from 7 June and plans to launch a UK-specific version of Powerball later this summer, subject to final regulatory approval.
From 7 June, each £2 Lotto line will include two rounds per draw, giving players “two chances to win” from a single line. Allwyn said the change improves the odds of winning any prize from 1-in-9.3 to 1-in-4.9. Tickets go on sale on Sunday 7 June, with the first draw on Wednesday 10 June, continuing on Wednesdays and Saturdays at around 8pm. Two sets of six main balls and a Bonus Ball will be drawn using two separate draw machines.
Allwyn said the updated format is expected to increase the number of Lotto millionaires from around 140 a year to around 345. Lotto jackpots will continue to start at £2m and can roll over up to five times before a must-be-won event on the sixth consecutive draw. The £1m fixed prize for matching five main numbers plus the Bonus Ball remains, while the jackpot for matching six main numbers is shared across both rounds. The Lotto HotPicks add-on will also move to the two-round format and will remain priced at £1.
Powerball will be introduced in the UK in partnership with the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). Allwyn said the UK version will be priced at £4 per line and will offer access to a “shared jackpot” with US participants, with UK jackpot winners paid out over 30 years. UK draws will align with the existing Powerball schedule, with ticket sales closing at 11.55pm the night before draws on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and draw results produced from the Powerball studio in Florida at around 4am on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Allwyn CEO, Andria Vidler, said, “We are delivering on our promise to bring more games, more entertainment and more innovation to The National Lottery. With extensive upgrades to our digital and retail channels now complete, we have a fantastic summer lined up, as we are now able to bring these exciting new games to our players.” She added that Allwyn’s goal is “doubling weekly returns to Good Causes from £30m to £60m by 2034, with £33m a week currently raised.”
