Planet Sport expands coverage into Canada with French Canadian services
Sports media specialist firm is helping operators, suppliers, and affiliates localise content in the fast-growing Canadian market in Ontario and beyond
Planet Sport, the B2C, and B2B sports media specialist has launched a localized content service for the Canadian market including offering French Canadian translation services as part of efforts to support operators, suppliers, and affiliates looking to leverage the huge potential of the table in Canada.
Planet Sport’s localization and translation services cover all operator, supplier and affiliate needs including the translation of static content. This includes responsible gambling messaging, deposit and withdrawal options, and licensing and explainer guides such as how to bet on sports, casino, and virtual offerings.
Planet Sport now also produces SEO-rich, localized snippets for each sport offered by operators or affiliates such as “We are your home of football betting”, “Tips & odds in Canada” and “Bet now for a $500 sports bonus on your first deposit. Sign up today!”
In addition, operators and affiliates can access SEO-rich news content tailored to the French-Canadian market which again can boost search engine rankings and ensure the operator or affiliate positions itself as the leading destination for sports fans in the market.
All content is tailored to a French-Canadian audience with unique betting terms expertly translated by human translators who are specialists in sports betting and casino, and who are also fluent in the French spoken in Canada.
Planet Sport has launched French Canadian owing to customer demand. Since Ontario opened its doors to legal online gambling back in April, Planet Sport has been inundated with requests from operators, suppliers and affiliates wishing to localise their content.
With more than half a million French Canadian speakers in Ontario and many more in neighboring Quebec, carefully language-localized products and services are considered essential by potential clients.
Andrew Morgan, Head of International Betting Content at Planet Sport, said: “Canada is set to become one of the largest betting markets in the world, especially following the launch of Ontario. But to succeed in such a competitive market, operators, suppliers, and affiliates must carefully localize their offerings.
“Given the prevalence of the French-Canadian language across the country, with more than seven million speakers, translating content accurately and with a real human touch is an absolute must.
“French Canadian is a great addition to our growing translation bureau. We look forward to working with operators, suppliers, and affiliates to help them maximize the huge potential Canada has to offer.”
ELA Games, an innovative game studio, successfully concluded its participation in the prestigious SBC Summit in Lisbon. Over the course of the multiday event, the team demonstrated multiple games and new content to guests.
Over 25,000 delegates attended the networking conference, and the ELA Games team welcomed iGaming professionals, operators and industry leaders at its accommodating stand. Interest and attention around the studio’s new games and upcoming titles flourished as current and prospective partners and customers visited the stand to demo ELA Games’ offerings.
Joker Cashpot and Devil’s Treasures were key points of interest for visitors. The team described Joker Cashpot’s unique gameplay mechanics and outlined the game’s success. Visitors were also intrigued by Devil’s Treasures’ captivating PopWins™ mechanics, which allows players to chain together massive wins. Apart from these two key games, the team highlighted new releases like AquaMafia and Farm Hunt.
David Fall, ELA Games’ Business Development Manager, commented on the studio’s attendance at the event, saying, “It’s always a pleasure to meet current and prospective partners, as it allows ELA Games to gather feedback and communicate with the public directly. The SBC Summit was a great success for our studio as we made valuable additions to our professional network and feel motivated to close 2024 strong.

Walking into the racetrack at Santa Anita on Saturday was more like walking into a sophisticated Hollywood mansion party than a gambling venue.
Santa Anita went ‘all in’ by throwing one heck of a horse racing celebration aimed at attracting a young, stylish group of fans. There was a thrilling three-horse photo finish in The California Crown $1 million stakes race, but the crowd was there to party and mingle first, cocktail and dine second, and maybe add in a bit of old-fashioned horse race gambling too.
SGG Media, the leading sports social media marketing agency, was one of the selected advertising partners to ensure the word got out about this ‘must attend’ L.A. event.
SGG’s young CEO, Troy Paul, (age 27) knew just what to do – by arranging seating and private boxes for six of his top L.A.-based social media Influencers and their 10 million social media followers. The value of SGG Media’s in-depth understanding of how to interact with younger fans certainly came to the fore in the run-up to the race, with the company’s clever strategic planning creating one million event-focused social media impressions that helped draw fans into the action.
SGG Media has a strong track record for promoting top sporting events by using its extensive network of 2,500 sports micro-influencer content creators and their 75 million sports fan followers – and Troy is certainly no stranger to the racetrack either, having begun attending races with his dad at the age of four before going on to visit major races such as the Derby and the Belmont.
Troy Paul, Chief Executive Officer at SGG Media, said: “Santa Anita threw one great race day party, bringing guests food from L.A.’s trendiest restaurants such as Funke and Wally’s while also giving them the chance to dance to first-class entertainment from star artists including Shaboozey.
“From SGG’s perspective, we’re thrilled to bring younger fans to events like this by showing them the excitement and beauty of horse races in stunning venues like Santa Anita, so we’re happy with the buzz we could create around what was a stunning party and an exciting day at the races.”
Peter Rotondo, Senior Vice President at 1/ST Racing, said: “California Crown was a huge success that featured top quality stakes horses, drew over 21,000 fans and generated total national wagering of nearly $24 million dollars”.
