Betsoft Gaming has reinforced its presence in the Spanish speaking market through its latest deal with VERSUS.

Having successfully undertaken two ISMS audits to allow operations in both Spain and Colombia, Betsoft has focused on widening its reach and accessibility across these markets.

With over 200 RNG titles in its portfolio, the award-winning content provider is also able to offer some of its most successful releases translated and localised for Spanish speaking players. This serves to further enhance its appeal to new demographics.

VERSUS is part of Orenes Group, one of Spain’s premier leisure and hospitality companies. Formerly known as Vivalasuerte, the online casino was rebranded as VERSUS in 2019 to reflect its transformation to a Tier 1 Esports and iGaming destination.

Licensed by the DGOJ and working under Spanish Remote Gaming regulations, VERSUS is committed to innovation in technology as a driver of socially responsible business. VERSUS is also continuing its three-year sponsorship agreement with Atlético Madrid, one of Spain’s leading football clubs, in compliance with the Royal Decree on Commercial Communications for Gambling Activities.

“Reinforcing our presence in the Spanish market is very important to us. VERSUS is a renowned and reputable brand across Spanish speaking player bases and we are delighted to be working closely with them for the foreseeable future,” Anna Mackney, Head of Account Management at Betsoft Gaming, said.

“Working with a ‘mobile first’ content provider such as Betsoft is essential for us as we continue to give our players access to the best slots in the market. We are looking forward to a seamless integration and a successful partnership,” Juan José López, Sports Betting and Online Gambling Director at VERSUS, said.

To mark its 1st anniversary, The UAE Lottery, operated by the Game LLC, revealed an exciting evolution of its flagship Lucky Day Draw, which has now been upgraded to a weekly format, giving players more opportunities to participate and win remarkable prizes every week.

Starting November 29, 2025, the Lucky Day draw now takes place every Saturday at 8:30 PM GST, turning the weekend into a date with life-changing prizes and creating new weekly traditions for players across the UAE.

Adding to the excitement of the new weekly draws, the second prize is now increased from AED 1 million to a massive AED 5 million, opening the door to even more life-changing wins. This enhancement reinforces The UAE Lottery’s commitment to elevating the game experience and keeping players engaged through new and dynamic formats, ensuring that every draw brings hope and the possibility of realizing dreams across the nation.

The rules of participation remain unchanged: for AED 50 per ticket, players can enter the Lucky Day Draw for a chance to win:

· The Grand Prize of AED 30 million
· The 2nd Prize of AED 5 million
· The 3rd Prize of AED 100,000
· The 4th Prize of AED 1,000
· The 5th Prize of AED 100

Additionally, with the same ticket, players automatically enter the weekly Lucky Chance Raffle where three guaranteed winners will each win AED 100,000 every week.

Commenting on the new update, Scott Burton, Commercial Gaming Director at The UAE Lottery, said, “As we celebrate a successful first year of operations, our mission remains the same: to bring joy and life-changing opportunities to players across the UAE. This change comes as a result of listening to our players and a careful review of their interest levels. So, when they asked for more opportunities to play, we made it happen. With weekly draws now in place, every Saturday will be someone’s Lucky Day, and that’s what makes this milestone so special.”

Interest in The UAE Lottery continues to build, with players nationwide showing increasing enthusiasm for all the draws in the portfolio, and a growing sense of anticipation around every new opportunity to win.

Since its launch, The UAE Lottery has brought together players from across the UAE, and has celebrated more than 100,000 winners, claiming over AED 147 million in prizes. With the move to weekly draws, the dream of winning just got closer than ever.

The final draw under the previous format took place on November 29, with ticket sales for the new weekly game opening later that same evening at 8:30 PM.
