EveryMatrix accelerates LatAm growth with Peru market accreditation
EveryMatrix will imminently launch a series of new customers in Peru following regulatory accreditation from the country’s Ministry of Foreign Trade & Tourism (Mincetur).
The tier-1 iGaming technology provider excels in delivering compliant solutions within regulated and emerging markets and is one of the first to be accredited in the country enabling its customers to gain early market share.
Regulatory approval will also further expand its reach across the rapidly growing Latin America market with several new customers due to launch in Peru in the coming months.
EveryMatrix is live in several LatAm markets and is significantly accelerating its regulated growth across the region with a dedicated office opening later this year.
LatAm customers have access to its entire range of proven, modular revenue-generating technology products. This includes online casino and sportsbook platforms, player account management and sports and esports odds/data feeds.
EveryMatrix clients can also select from affiliate management and optimisation software and services, gamification, bonus and loyalty features, localised content and aggregation and bespoke safer gambling tools.
Mincetur has projected that approximately Sol3.8 billion (€1bn) in bets was placed in 2022 with online gaming and sports betting estimated to produce Sol162m (€40.6m) a year for the state.
Bobby Longhurst, Group Chief Commercial Officer, EveryMatrix said: “We’re delighted to be among the first technology providers to be given accreditation so we can instantly power our customers to gain valuable, early market share.
“This is a vital step in further increasing our footprint in LatAm, both as Peru and the wider region continue to regulate. We see huge opportunities across all our product areas including turnkey partnerships that involve multiple EveryMatrix products and services coming together to launch or relaunch operator offerings.
“We’ve proven we can deliver large-scale tier-1 technology projects in Europe and are excited at the prospect of replicating this success in Latin America.
“It’s no secret the LatAm market is gathering speed and we’re determined to be at the forefront of that growth in the months and years ahead.”

Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Smarkets Files for CFTC License to Enter U.S. Prediction Markets
Smarkets, one of the UK’s leading prediction markets, has filed for a license with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), marking its formal entry into the U.S. prediction markets space. Built on nearly two decades of technology development and approximately $50 billion in lifetime trading volume, the company is bringing a genuinely different model to America – one where prices are set by participants, not the house.
The filing opens two parallel regulatory tracks: a federal route through the CFTC for its core exchange platform, and state-by-state sportsbook licensing for its SBK product.
Founded in 2008 and now the number two prediction market in the UK, Smarkets owns its full technology stack end-to-end, including its matching engine, market-making capability, payments and data settlement systems. The company processes approximately $3 billion in annual traded volume and is profitable. Unlike traditional sportsbooks, which build margins of around 10+ percent into every price, Smarkets operates as a financial exchange with prices being determined in an open marketplace.
“The U.S. market is currently in a race against time to figure out how to regulate the predictions market. For the last nearly two decades, we’ve built Smarkets slow and steady, ensuring we built an exchange platform that did not cut corners and operated with transparency, putting the power into the hands of traders rather than the house. We believe now is the time to enter the U.S. market and bring the learnings that have made us successful in the UK, working with regulators, not around them,” said Jason Trost, founder and CEO.
Smarkets is backed by Susquehanna, one of the world’s largest quantitative trading firms, which led a $30M Series B. Previous investors include Passion Capital and DTCP.
