Betano Celebrates UEFA EURO 2024™ and CONMEBOL Copa America™️ 2024 with Latest Marketing Campaigns
360° campaigns further promote the brand’s role as the official global sponsor of this year’s biggest football competitions
The Summer of Football is in full swing and Kaizen Gaming’s premium brand Betano is celebrating the excitement and unifying quality of UEFA EURO 2024™️ and CONMEBOL Copa America™️ 2024 with two unique 360° marketing campaigns.
Launched first, and at the heart of Betano’s UEFA EURO 2024™️ campaign, is its new video advert, broadcast on TV channels and published online in Portugal, Germany, Romania, Czechia, Bulgaria, and Ontario, Canada, throughout the tournament. Betano’s latest advert transports viewers to a fictional universe where characters such as Big Foot, super villains, wrestlers and rocket scientists remind each other to “hold it” because the European Championship is here. Instead of their usual activities, it’s time to have fun, hang out with friends and enjoy watching Europe’s greatest players battle it out in Germany.
Pablo Puertas, Marketing Director of Kaizen Gaming, commented, “The UEFA EURO 2024™️ is all about bringing people together to celebrate and enjoy the beautiful game. With high cinema-like production values, a diverse casting selection and strong brand visual cues, our campaign brings the excitement of UEFA EURO 2024 to life across Europe. Being the first official gaming and betting partner of the European Championship, we are proud to be playing an important part in promoting and supporting one of football’s premium competitions.”
Also, getting the Betano treatment this year is the CONMEBOL Copa America™️ 2024. Focusing on dispelling the many myths around football in the Americas, Betano’s new campaign challenges the views expressed by people like French star, Kylian Mbappe, who have suggested that football is less competitive and developed than in Europe.
“The idea that football in the Americas is anything other than as advanced, exciting and competitive as anywhere else in the world is absurd,” said Pablo Puertas. “When these comments were made, footballers and fans throughout the Americas united and responded to defend the quality, the level and the football passion on the continent. As a company heavily invested in Latin America we wanted to create a campaign that would speak to the hearts and minds of all the fans. It also served us as a way of introducing our ‘Confia’ creative platform across the continent, product of our recent collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy”.
Betano’s Summer of Football campaigns go beyond the traditional formats, aiming to engage audiences through multiple touchpoints including radio, OOH and experiential activations, which focus on creating memorable experiences for fans in every country Betano is present.
The brand is hosting Fan Zones in Germany (Berlin, Munich, and Dortmund) and in Bulgaria (Sofia) while in Portugal (Lisbon) the Betano Euro Village is stealing the limelight. Providing giant screens showing all the tournament matches and a festival-like atmosphere, fans can also purchase food and enjoy live entertainment. Over in Romania and Czechia, Betano is working with local influencers to further promote EURO 2024TM through online activations that unite more people in the celebration of football.
Of course, Betano is also present in Copa América Fan Zones too, with the most prominent among them being the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The fan zone, which Betano is sponsoring, is located at the Copacabana beach and is very popular with fans. In Brazil’s three matches of the group stage, over 21 thousand fans attended the venue, while TV stations were there, covering the fans’ reactions.

Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.

Tony Bellew has officially joined the PartyPoker Brand Ambassador team for the remainder of 2026, strengthening the brand’s growing roster of ambassadors and reinforcing its commitment to bringing poker to a wider audience.
A former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion and one of Britain’s most recognisable sporting personalities, Bellew will play an active role across both PartyPoker’s live tour and online offering throughout the rest of the year.
Speaking about joining the team, Tony Bellew said: “I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me.”
His return follows a hugely successful appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham earlier this year, where he embraced the atmosphere, spent time with players and immersed himself in the event. After thoroughly enjoying the experience, Bellew will now become a regular face at the remaining UK stops on the PartyPoker Tour throughout the rest of the 2026 season.
As part of his ambassadorial role, Bellew will attend every remaining UK stop PartyPoker Tour in 2026:
- London – July
- Glasgow – August
- Cork – November
- London – December
With four live festival stops and a series of exclusive online events still to come, players will have plenty of opportunities to meet Bellew at the tables throughout the remainder of the 2026 PartyPoker calendar. Look out for opportunities to take him on online, and at the PartyPoker Tour in Glasgow, Cork and London.
