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.

Stake published a new campaign video on June 23 showing a small-sided football match played on a pitch suspended from a hot air balloon at 10,000ft.
The video features six extreme sports content creators—Nathan Roque, Alessio Papia, Nicolo Contrada, Yasmin Xavier, Sara Vidal, and Carol Chafauzer—playing on a 12m x 20m synthetic grass platform. Stake said the 3,000kg pitch was carried by balloon during a 60-minute flight, with participants later jumping from the platform using parachutes.
The activation sits within Stake’s “It’s All At Stake” brand platform, which the company launched ahead of this summer’s global football tournament. According to Stake, the campaign is being promoted across YouTube, Instagram and X.
Jarrod Febbraio, Director at Stake, said: “This summer sees one of the biggest cultural moments on the planet and simply showing up is no longer enough. Our ambition is to create campaigns that genuinely capture people’s attention, spark conversation and give fans something they haven’t seen before.
“At Stake, we are always looking for ways to push creative boundaries and challenge expectations around sports marketing. Whether it’s our It’s All At Stake campaign or staging a football match thousands of feet in the air, the objective is the same – creating entertainment that resonates with audiences and delivers memorable experiences around the moments they care most about.”
Stake also said the “It’s All At Stake” campaign has generated more than 200 million views across earned and social channels in the first week of the tournament.

Infingame has published operational observations on what it says is driving player engagement on sweepstakes platforms, arguing that traditional online casino retention tactics don’t consistently translate to the sweepstakes model.
According to the aggregator, the strongest-performing sweepstakes products are built around progression-driven engagement, social-style competition, lightweight onboarding, and highly dynamic promotional systems. “Sweepstakes players behave very differently from traditional casino audiences,” said Jana Filagina, Head of Commercial at Infingame. “The expectation is much closer to entertainment platforms and gaming ecosystems than classic gambling products. Retention is driven by interaction quality, progression, and continuous engagement rather than purely transactional behavior.”
Infingame identified tournament ecosystems as a leading mechanic for repeat participation and session continuity, saying competitive formats outperform static reward campaigns by adding progression loops and achievement motivation. The company said operators using segmented tournament mechanics recorded higher repeat participation rates than those relying mainly on bonus-driven campaigns, and flagged “multiplier races, win races, and progression-based leaderboard systems” as particularly effective for mobile-first audiences due to short-session play patterns.
“Players want activity, not passive rewards,” Filagina said. “The strongest-performing sweepstakes platforms are creating environments where players continuously interact with missions, rankings, tournaments, and achievement systems rather than simply claiming bonuses.”
Infingame also highlighted mission-based challenge systems as a fast-growing retention lever, saying they encourage broader content exploration and higher daily return activity than standard promotional structures. Separately, the company pointed to infrastructure scalability as an operational priority, arguing that mobile-heavy, interaction-focused audiences make responsiveness and gameplay continuity central to engagement performance as operators scale across North America.

Isle of Man-based regulatory and licensing consultancy says it has opened in Ireland and will announce further locations.
SolutionsHub has marked its 10-year anniversary, highlighting international expansion plans from its Isle of Man base. Founder Lee Hills set up the regulatory and licensing consultancy on 23 June 2016, the day of the Brexit referendum.
The company said it has grown from a one-person operation into what it describes as “the largest regulatory and licensing consultancy on the Isle of Man,” supported by a team that includes former regulators, government officials and compliance specialists. SolutionsHub said it now supports “hundreds of businesses and organisations” across gaming, fintech and other regulated sectors, and has received “more than 55 industry awards, including three EGR awards.”
SolutionsHub said its international footprint has increased, with an office established in Ireland and further overseas offices set to be announced as part of its next stage of development. The company also said it is broadening its work into adjacent regulated industries as regulation and operational complexity evolve globally.
Hills said: “I did not begin with a detailed ten-year plan. I knew the type of business I wanted to create and the standards I wanted it to represent, but what SolutionsHub has become has been built by the people who joined the business and contributed their own knowledge, experience and commitment.
“We have never pursued growth simply for the sake of becoming bigger. We have focused on being consistent, investing in people with genuine regulatory and operational experience and making sure that growth does not come at the expense of the quality of our work.
“That has been a collective effort throughout the past ten years. Every person who has worked with us, supported the business or trusted us to advise them has played a part in reaching this point.
“The opportunity now is to take the same approach into new markets, strengthen our international presence and continue building the expertise our clients will need as regulation becomes increasingly complex.”
SolutionsHub COO Nick Wright added: “When I joined SolutionsHub, it was still a very young business, but the ambition and the standards behind it were already clear,” Wright said.
“What has followed has been a genuine team effort. We have brought together people with significant regulatory, operational and industry experience, and each of them has contributed to the business SolutionsHub is today.
“The company is larger, the team has grown and we now work across more markets, but the underlying principles have remained the same. We want to do the work properly, give clients practical support and build relationships that last.
“Reaching ten years gives us an opportunity to recognise everything the team has achieved together, while also looking ahead to what we can build next.”
