MozzartBet is Live on Fast Track’s AI-native CRM Platform
MozzartBet, one of South-East Europe’s largest sports betting and gaming operators, has gone live with Fast Track CRM platform, rolling out the platform across its brands in the Balkans, Romania and Africa.
MozzartBet operates across a range of regulated markets, with brands in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Romania, Malta, Kenya and Nigeria. The launch is the next step in MozzartBet’s player engagement strategy, as the operator continues to scale its multi-market presence and deepen the experience it delivers across its brands.
“We have been genuinely impressed with Fast Track from day one. Their team understood our operation, our markets, and what we needed to achieve – and the platform has lived up to it. Our CRM team is already running campaigns in ways we could not before, across all of our markets, and we are excited about what this partnership will let us build for our players going forward,” said Nemanja Savkovic, COO at MozzartBet.
The launch gives MozzartBet’s team a single real-time customer model across its brands, alongside Fast Track AI – the platform’s natural-language and agentic-workflow capabilities, which let operators interact with the platform conversationally and delegate end-to-end CRM tasks to AI agents.
“What MozzartBet have built across the Balkans and Africa is genuinely impressive. We are deeply aligned with their vision for where they are going, and we will continue to do everything we can to help them see that vision through,” said Simon Lidzén, Co-Founder and CEO of Fast Track.

Kiron rolls out Kiron.Lite Virtual League with MojaBet brands across six African markets
Kiron Interactive has launched its Kiron.Lite Virtual League with MojaBet brands across the Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Zambia and Nigeria. The rollout also includes Ghana via Keedbet and Benin via LNB Pari.
Kiron said Kiron.Lite is built for mobile-first and low-bandwidth environments, aiming to maintain performance across varying network conditions. The company positioned the deployment as a response to operator demand for content that can reach more players without impacting gameplay.
Steven Spartinos, Co-CEO of Kiron Interactive, said: “The expansion of Kiron.Lite with MojaBet is an important step in making virtual sports content more accessible across diverse African markets. In many regions, players are engaging primarily through mobile devices and often within bandwidth constrained environments. Kiron.Lite was developed specifically to address those realities, delivering a high quality virtual sports experience with significantly reduced data requirements. This launch reflects our continued focus on creating products that are commercially effective for operators while remaining accessible and relevant to local player behaviours.”
Aris Filippopoulos for MojaBet added: “Kiron.Lite Virtual League aligns strongly with the needs of our player base across multiple African markets. The product delivers an engaging football entertainment experience while supporting the mobile first environments that are increasingly defining player interaction today.”
