Betsson Group and Casino de Victoria Receive License for Online Gambling in the Province of Buenos Aires

Published

on

Betsson Group and Casino de Victoria jointly announce that they have been granted a license for the development of online gambling activity in the Province of Buenos Aires in Argentina. 

This latest development continues Betsson Group’s string of expansion where in the past few months saw the online gaming operator enter Kenya, Brazil, Croatia, and Colombia. Betsson Group joined forces with Casino de Victoria for the application some 18 months ago.

Online gambling is still relatively new for Argentina, but its land-based counterpart is a very mature market. Founded in 2005 and part of Grupo Mautone, Casino de Victoria is one of the leading land-based operators in Argentina. It differentiates itself through the high quality and personalised services it offers to its customers. The Group has several sites around Argentina, including Casino Arena Maipu, Casino Valle de Uco, Bingo Victoria, Hotel Termas Victoria, Casino Central of Mar del Plata, and Monte Hermoso Casino. Casino Victoria is unique in the quality of service it provides to its customers

Speaking about this latest expansion, Betsson Group’s CEO, Jesper Svensson, said “Our strategy for Latam is to find local partners who are able to bring the necessary expertise and have solid industry experience and we are extremely excited to have Casino de Victoria as our partners in Argentina for this joint venture.”

Betsson Group will be providing the technology, operational, and marketing support and its know-how on online gaming. “We will start working on the technical implementations that are required for the market so that operations will be able to commence soon afterward. We will launch under our flagship brand, Betsson, and our goal is to start with our proprietary sportsbook, casino, and live casino offerings,” added Jesper Svensson.

As a socially responsible operator, Betsson Group is glad to note the strong focus on responsible gambling in the regulation by the Provincial Institute of Lottery and Casinos (IPLyC) and confirms that it will adhere to and fully support these standards.

Both Betsson Group and Casino de Victoria are committed to the communities they operate in. “One Betsson” is Betsson’s vehicle for local community engagements which over the past months have strongly focused on providing support to multiple COVID-19 related initiatives in Malta, Sweden, Estonia, Georgia, and Hungary. “Sembrando Victorias” (Sewing Victories) was born from an initiative by Casino de Victoria and is the first foundation linked to the gaming industry in Argentina. Since 2016, it has been supporting employability and social inclusion initiatives to improve the standard of living and quality of life of hundreds of people every year. It offers multiple training programs such as masonry, baking, sewing, computer repair, tourism and hospitality, sales and customer service, how to build a CV, and much more.

Innovative game studio Peter & Sons’ game-changing portfolio of online casino content is now live in Buenos Aires City at PlayUZU, the flagship Spanish-language brand of global entertainment company SkillOnNet.

By logging into PlayUZU, ‘Portenos’, as residents of the Argentine capital are known, can now enjoy Peter & Sons unique brand of innovative slots, which have been whipping up a storm in dot-com markets.

One of Peter & Son’s flagship games, Barbarossa, immerses players in a hectic pirate-themed adventure world, offering unlimited multipliers and an impressive maximum win potential of 20,000x. This has made it a firm player-favorite among the studio’s diverse portfolio.

Leading European online gaming operator SkillOnNet launched PlayUZU in Buenos Aires City last year after receiving its license from the city’s gaming authority (LOTBA). The company teamed up with one of the largest local land-based gambling operators, BuenosAiresSlots, as its local licensing partner to offer a truly omni-channel experience.

SkillOnNet believes the addition of Peter & Sons’ portfolio will boost PlayUZU’s existing offering of localized, cutting-edge content in the Buenos Aires City market.

“We’re delighted that, through a partnership with SkillOnNet, our games get to be played by so many diverse groups of people in jurisdictions all around the world,” the co-founder and Business Development Director for Peter & Sons, Yann Bautista, said. “That’s what makes all the hard work worthwhile. We hope our content be as popular in Buenos Aires City as it has been in other jurisdictions.”

“Since its launch last year, PlayUZU is becoming hugely popular in Buenos Aires City and so it’s important that we keep expanding our offering to keep up with demand,” the Head of Games for SkillOnNet, Jani Kontturi, said. “Peter & Sons is becoming a legendary game studio and is an important partner, so it’s natural it would be at the vanguard of our plans.”
