R Franco Digital launches Spain’s most advanced native betting platform
IRIS 4.0 to revolutionise market with next-generation delivery
Leading Spanish betting and gaming technology supplier R. Franco Digital has launched the country’s most advanced native betting platform, IRIS 4.0.
The result of more than two years of R&D, IRIS 4.0 has been designed to provide its Spanish partners with a solution that can deliver a true competitive advantage across the Spanish and LatAm markets when deployed.
Whether for online or in the retail space via gaming or sports betting terminals, IRIS 4.0 offers a powerful armoury of engagement-boosting bonusing, campaign and promotional tools, as well as newly built event-driven architecture to offer an extensive range of scalability.
The supplier of choice for Spain’s leading operator brands, including 1XBet, DafaBet, Suertia and Degestec, IRIS 4.0 will be initially going live with Wanabet and Genesis Group, with full migration of R Franco’s partner network by the end of the year.
Commenting on the launch of the platform, Javier Sacristan, Director at R Franco Digital said: “The wait is finally over! Our development teams have been working overdrive on getting this ready for our operator partners to take full advantage of the return of the sporting calendar.
“IRIS 4.0 is by far the most advanced solution we have built, and we’ve designed it to truly push the boundaries of native platform technology for the Spanish and LatAm regions. With plans to scale globally in the coming months – we look forward to delivering a true competitive advantage to our partners.”
As the first provider to debut on the Colombia market on behalf of BetPlay, as well as pioneering the use of regulatory and compliance tools with Spain’s DGOJ and Colombia’s ColJuegos, R Franco Digital has a well-earned reputation for regional leadership.
The company has signed a host of partnerships in recent months with global heavyweights including GAMING1, SBTech and BetConstruct.

Sportsbook provider hires respected industry consultant to fuel growth during its first year
Altenar, a leading sportsbook and iGaming software provider, has invested in its presence in South Africa with the appointment of Brendon Jeacocks as Regional Director.
Jeacocks brings more than eight years of experience in the online gaming industry, primarily in finance, regulation and compliance. He joins Altenar after working as an independent consultant for South African iGaming brands, before which he worked as Financial Manager at African operator SportPesa.
The move follows Altenar’s receipt of a National Manufacturer licence from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board in December 2024, which paved the way for the company to supply its sportsbook technology to licensed operators in South Africa and other African markets.
In his role, Jeacocks will drive growth for Altenar in South Africa, where it already offers its tailored premium data providers, localised sports offering and mobile app aimed at players in the mobile-first market.
John Quaye, CFO at Altenar, said: “We are delighted to welcome Brendon to the team as he builds our on-the-ground presence in South Africa. His expertise in the market will undoubtedly help us achieve strong growth in our first year as a licensed provider in the country.
“He is well-positioned to forge partnerships and help us tailor our product to meet the region’s growing demand for localised sports betting solutions.”
Brendon Jeacocks, Regional Director at Altenar, said: “I’m pleased to be joining Altenar at such an exciting time for the company’s ambitions in Africa. I’m currently based in Cape Town and will serve as the local point of contact for our operations here.
“I look forward to helping to develop Altenar’s presence in South Africa and connecting with the rest of the industry.”
