Altenar, the leading sportsbook and iGaming software supplier, has secured an agreement with Bulgaria operator, Magic Bet, to supply its industry-pioneering products for online use.
The strategic partnership will enable Altenar to bolster its position within the Balkans region, following its launch in the market earlier this year, by integrating its award-winning technology onto Magic Bet’s platform and increasing the operator’s reputation to become one of the most revered in Bulgaria.
Initially, the partnership will be online with Magic Bet, with the operator benefitting from Altenar’s wide-ranging portfolio, including Virtual Sports amongst its interactive Bonus offering for its clients.
With plans for further growth in the pipeline outside of Bulgaria in the coming years, the online deal is set to see Magic Bet develop its odds offering and risk management, while establishing the brand as a leading sportsbook in its jurisdiction.
This agreement caps a successful start to 2024 for Altenar, extending its footprint across multiple regions thanks to numerous operator partnerships worldwide.
Panagiotis Lantzas, Account Manager at Altenar, said: “Bulgaria is a key region for us as we look to expand our offering across the Balkans and we are delighted to agree a deal with Magic Bet, one of the space’s leading operators.
“Magic Bet has some ambitious plans ahead and, with our cutting-edge technology, the operator will be able to enhance its success across Bulgaria and we look forward to a fantastic journey with them.”
Plamen Dzhedzhev, CEO at Magic Bet, said: “Altenar has a reputation for world-class technology and we are excited to be going into 2024 with this deal signed.
“This integration will see us become one of the top online operators within the territory and we are thrilled to be able to offer a wide range of verticals to our customers.”

Portuguese start-up FootAR is enhancing the Euro 2024 experience with AR tracking and smart data
With the summer of football heating up, FootAR is showing how live sports can be enhanced with augmented reality. It has created a real-time companion that gamifies the sports experience and emulates player movements with 3D foosball-like figures, adding smart stats and prizes for fans.
FootAR has already made its mark in Portugal, where two notable media organisations have integrated it into their coverage. GMG (Jornal de Notícias) and SportsMultimedia (VSports) use FootAR to bring a 3D experience to Euro 2024 fans.
FootAR is one of 22 companies in the Portuguese games development and creative industries cluster eGamesLab. This ambitious R&D project led out of Madeira aims to attract and develop new talent and technology focused on the growing national video game industry.
FootAR’s platform went live earlier this year. The initial rollout covered Portuguese league games, partnering with some of the biggest Portuguese clubs like SC Braga and CD Nacional before expanding to cover all the matches at Euro 2024. It offers real-time statistics, in-depth analysis, and seamless integration for news outlets covering live games on their websites.
Fans can relive every goal, track every pass, and stay connected to the game with real-time updates and AR-enhanced visuals. The technology allows fans to rewatch the most significant moments in a live game and view them from multiple angles, together with an accompanying audio commentary.
“We understand the insatiable appetite for football data and the desire to go beyond the final score,” says David Olim, Co-Founder of FootAR. “FootAR empowers fans to delve deeper into the action, following their favourite players, teams, and leagues, and is the perfect way for enthusiasts to analyse the beautiful game – but that’s just the start. As a father of two young children, my goal is to shape how younger generations immerse themselves in these communal experiences. Looking to the future, our interests go way beyond sports. We are starting with football, but within five years, we will have personalised experiences for clubs, artists, and brands to build their own interactive events.
Key Features:
Augmented Reality – relive the match’s key moments from multiple angles through 3D AR visuals, and get closer to the action with real-time data overlays to follow the game how you want to.
Custom Data Suite – access in-depth statistics for players and teams such as expected goals, pass accuracy and tackles lost. In-game notifications can be customised, ensuring key moments in the game are never missed..
Audio Commentary – FoorAR can sync with local radio broadcasts, creating a combination of live commentary and live data which really brings events to life.
With FootAR, new avenues for monetizing audience engagement and sponsors are available to media companies and clubs looking for a solution to drive greater fan engagement, as well as opening up new revenue streams through in-game activations.
Fans can transform their football experience today by downloading FootAR for free on Android and iOS and using the Web/Desktop app. Apple VisionPro and Meta Quest versions of the experience are also being developed and will be released in Q3 2024.
