Livespins builds on global reach with BetConstruct deal
Company behind award-winning social live streaming platform inks major distribution deal with leading platform and content provider
Livespins, part of the Evolution Gaming Group, has partnered with BetConstruct in a deal that will see its award-winning social live-streaming product launch to the platform and content provider’s operator partners.
Livespins delivers an electrifying player experience. Not only can players tune in to watch their favourite streamers, celebrities and brand ambassadors fire up the reels on chart-topping slots from top-flight studios, but they can also get directly involved by betting behind the streamer.
If the streamer wins, they win. This ultimately creates a group bet and a shared player experience with fun guaranteed whether the spin wins or not. It also offers unprecedented social interaction – players can chat with the streamer and each other throughout, and also drop reactions, emojis and gifs.
Livespins provides a new way for operators to access online casino content and deliver it to their players, with the platform being crowned winner of the Innovation in Slot Provision Award at the EGR B2B Awards 2023.
It really is a pioneering product, allowing operators to leverage the huge demand for casino and slot streaming in a way that is compliant. Because Livespins sits within the casino lobby, players are offered all of the safe gaming tools required under the operator’s local and international licences.
For BetConstruct, the partnership further strengthens its position as a leading platform and content provider to some of the biggest operators in the business.
Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “BetConstruct is a major player in the platform and content space, and we are thrilled to be making Livespins available to its operator partners for the first time.
“The demand for slot streaming is at an all-time high already but is only set to rise in the coming months and years. Livespins provides a way for operators in markets across the world to tap into this while being fully compliant with local and international regulations and requirements.
“This is another important deal for us as we continue to build momentum behind the Livespins revolution.”
Ruzanna Elchyan, Head of Gaming at BetConstruct, added: “We go to great lengths to remain at the cutting edge of the industry and this partnership with Livespins allows us to bring a truly pioneering product and player experience to our operator partners.
“Streaming has a place in this industry and its popularity among players will only become stronger. Of course, with Livespins, players not only get to watch the best streamers in the world spin up blockbuster games, they can get directly involved in the action, too.”

Brazil stands out for crash-game visibility, while Argentina fragments across 15 providers, according to Blask’s review of five markets.
Blask has published new data on casino lobby distribution across five Latin American markets—Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru—finding a shared baseline of Pragmatic Play dominance but sharply different secondary content patterns by country.
Across all five markets, Pragmatic Play “consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles,” accounting for up to 16 positions in each country, Blask said. Beyond that layer, Blask argues there is “no single playbook” for how operators and aggregators build lobbies.
Brazil is the clearest outlier for mechanics, with crash-style titles such as Aviator and JetX appearing in the top 30, while similar formats are “largely absent” in the other markets analyzed. Blask also points to Brazil as the only country where Pocket Games Soft holds a meaningful distribution share, driven by its Fortune series.
Mexico shows the opposite pattern: the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and a thinner secondary layer. Blask flagged Endorphina as an example of a provider appearing in Mexico’s top 30 but not elsewhere in its dataset.
Argentina is described as the most fragmented market, with 15 different providers represented in the top 30—more than any other country in the analysis—and broader visibility for live and table content. Chile “closely mirrors Mexico” structurally, Blask said, but includes a single non-Pragmatic title with near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies. Peru, meanwhile, spreads remaining top-30 positions across 12 providers, including studios not seen in the other markets and “legacy European brands such as Novomatic.”
Blask’s conclusion is that operators should not assume a winning lobby mix in one country will translate regionally. “Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals,” the company said.

Casino lobbies across Latin America may look similar at first glance — but a deeper look reveals they operate on entirely different logic. According to new data from Blask, all five major region players (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru) share one common layer: Pragmatic Play consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles, accounting for up to 16 positions in each market. But everything beyond that baseline tells a different story.
Crash games cluster in Brazil but not elsewhere
Brazil is the only market where crash-style mechanics achieve consistent visibility at the lobby level. Titles like Aviator and JetX both rank among the top 30, while similar formats are largely absent in the other four markets. At the same time, Brazil is the only country where a second provider, Pocket Games Soft, secures a meaningful share of distribution, driven entirely by its Fortune series. This dual pattern suggests a highly specific local demand profile rather than a regional trend.
Mexico runs on a tighter playbook
While Brazil expands, Mexico narrows. The market shows the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and one of the most limited secondary layers. At the same time, it introduces isolated signals that don’t scale regionally such as the presence of Endorphina, which appears in the Mexican top 30 but nowhere else in the dataset.
Argentina breaks the pattern entirely
Argentina stands apart as the most fragmented market in the region. Its top 30 includes 15 different providers which is more than any other country analyzed. Unlike neighboring markets, where a handful of suppliers dominate, Argentina distributes visibility across a wide range of studios, particularly in live and table segments. The result is a lobby structure that resists standardization.
Chile shows how a single game can outperform the system
Chile closely mirrors Mexico in overall structure but with one key exception. A single non-Pragmatic title achieves near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies, becoming one of the strongest outliers in the entire dataset.This suggests that even in highly concentrated markets, individual titles can break through if they match local demand precisely.
Peru stretches the long tail further than anyone else
Peru takes the opposite approach to Mexico. While maintaining the same Pragmatic baseline, it distributes the remaining positions across 12 different providers, many of which do not appear in any other LATAM market analyzed. This includes both niche studios and legacy European brands such as Novomatic, pointing to a mix of underserved demand segments and alternative content sourcing strategies.
One region, no single playbook
The key takeaway from the analysis is simple: LATAM is not a unified market when it comes to content distribution. The same providers appear everywhere but the way their games are positioned, combined, and supplemented varies dramatically from country to country. For operators, this means that copying a successful lobby structure from one market to another is unlikely to work. Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals.
