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.

Fast Track Supports Employee Well-being With New Paid Menstrual Leave Policy
Fast Track is proud to announce that it has introduced Paid Menstrual Leave across its offices in Malta, Sweden, Spain, and the United States, reflecting the organisation’s commitment to employee well-being. This policy aims to recognise and address the impact of menstrual and menopause-related health in the workplace, fostering inclusivity and support.
Workplaces have historically been slow to recognise the challenges surrounding menstrual health and how they impact women’s ability to perform at their best. By implementing Menstrual Leave, the company is not only addressing a real need but also setting a standard for other employers to prioritise empathy, inclusion, and flexibility.
The efforts of the Fast Track go beyond this policy, with initiatives such as the female mentorship pilot with Signe, an internal female-only ESG group, and a series of new programs launching in 2025. Fast Track has recently been certified as a Great Place to Work® in the technology sector for the third consecutive year.
“How we feel impacts us at work, influences our working environment, and affects our colleagues. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to me that employers should seek to spread awareness about, and normalise talking about how menstrual and menopause-related issues might affect us directly or indirectly, to ensure that the right support is in place, and when needed, appropriate workplace adjustments can be made,” says Jenny Arnell, Chief People Officer at Fast Track.
“Imagine how different our work experience would be if it was as normal to talk about how our bodies and minds affect our moods and ability to work as we do when we talk about the weather? Our reproductive systems are as normal as the weather, yet we treat these topics as something ‘private’.”
The decision follows a growing global conversation about reproductive health and its effects on work, with Spain being the first European country to adopt a Menstrual Leave policy in February 2023. Fast Track sees this as a meaningful step in creating equitable opportunities and promoting workplace health and inclusion.
Ellinor Otter, Well-being & Female Empowerment Coach, remarks: “Menstrual health is often overlooked in professional spaces, even though it impacts millions of women daily. A policy like Menstrual Leave is a simple yet powerful way to affirm that employees are valued, that their needs are acknowledged, and that their health is a priority. It empowers women to listen to their bodies without shame or fear for simply being women, creating a culture of understanding and support.”
Ellinor Otter is a female empowerment coach based in Stockholm, Sweden. She has conducted a webinar with the Fast Track team, providing valuable insights and advice on managing menstruation, empowering employees to approach these conversations with openness and understanding.

SOFTSWISS, a leading software development company in the iGaming sector, unveils its innovative portfolio at ICE Barcelona 2025, held in Barcelona for the first time.
The relocation of ICE, the iGaming industry’s largest trade fair, from London to Barcelona marks a significant milestone. The IMF has named Spain the ‘best-performing economy’ globally by the end of 2024. With Spain’s Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) reaching €1.24 billion in 2023, the decision underscores the country’s growing influence in the industry.
As a global leader in iGaming, SOFTSWISS showcased its cutting-edge software solutions. One of the key highlights was the company’s Game Aggregator, the largest game hub in the market, featuring a portfolio of over 27,800 games from 280+ providers. Fully certified in security and technical compliance both in new regulated markets such as Peru and Brazil, as well as established European markets like Spain, the event’s host country, this solution ensures seamless integration for operators while adhering to regulatory requirements.
“We are thrilled to be part of ICE 2025, especially in this historic edition in Barcelona. The relocation of ICE from London to Barcelona underscores the maturity of Spain’s iGaming industry. This move not only cements the city’s status as a major hub for iGaming but is also poised to positively impact the local economy through increased tourism, business opportunities, and industry innovation,” said Valentina Bagniya, Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS. She also highlighted that Barcelona is becoming a tech hub for innovation, blending high-quality standards with global visibility.
SOFTSWISS also showcased its new marketing campaign through a live performance by Slim Safont, the renowned local artist with iconic works in Los Angeles, Italy, and New York.
On the opening day, the company surprised attendees by unveiling its new marketing campaign, ‘Hungry for Success? Dive in with SOFTSWISS’. The idea was brought to life through a powerful shark image symbolising strength, leadership, and technological superiority. Visitors had the opportunity to explore the concept at the SOFTSWISS booth, as well as participate in Slim Safont’s live performance, co-creating the image of the technological shark in front of the venue.
Slim Safont stated: “These types of visual activations allow brands to connect with their audience, and in this case, thanks to the participation of the fair’s attendees, we succeeded in creating a more engaging and memorable experience.”
