Lead Generation Company Leadstar Media Launches First Website in Peru
Peru is next in line for Leadstar Media with the launch of their latest website. Their third and latest offering that caters to a Latin American audience, joins other products geared towards Brazil and Colombia. The focus remains on search engine optimization in the emerging market.
“We have seen success in previous products in Latin America and decided to expand further in the region. Like Brazil and Colombia, it’s yet another country where sports in general and football in particular, have a strong foothold in the community. It makes it an exciting prospect and I firmly believe we can replicate our success from other markets.” says Eskil Kvarnström, CEO Leadstar Media.
Peru is currently one of the largest gambling markets in Latin America. The region itself attracts significant interest from companies looking to diversify their portfolio from the competitive European market, which is a sign of the potential it possesses.
“Land-based gambling already has a strong presence in Peru. I’m confident that its online equivalent will overtake traditional outlets in the coming years. Several major operators already have foundations in the country and I see huge potential for our products in the market.” says Kvarnström.
The website itself, Miscasasdeapuestas.com/pe is hosted on a subdirectory of the root domain Miscasasdeapuestas.com. Geotargeting is important for SEO reasons and despite being in the same language as the Spanish version, there are distinct differences.
“Our first site in Spanish was Miscasasdeapuestas.com, aimed towards the European Spanish market. With the extension of that site into other Spanish speaking countries it is a challenge to differentiate and diversify from the original, says Kvarnström. “Despite being the same language, there are local differences like regulations and bookmakers, so we’ve found a good way to execute this expansion without simply reproducing content for existing products.”
Leadstar Media is currently developing versions of the site for other Spanish speaking countries in Latin America to launch later this year.

GLI Becomes First Laboratory to be Accredited in Maranhão, Brazil
Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has become the first laboratory to achieve accreditation in Maranhão, Brazil. The accreditation allows GLI to perform tests and certification for the gambling and lottery industry interested in working with lottery and fixed-odds betting operators in the state of Maranhão.
The milestone is the latest in a series of regulatory achievements for GLI in Brazil. Lottery of the State of Maranhão is the third jurisdiction in Brazil to accredit laboratories, and GLI is accredited in all and the first to be authorized in all.
Cassiano Pereira Junior, president of Maranhão Parcerias (Mapa), highlighted the importance of the partnership between the Maranhão State Lottery (Lotema) and GLI. “Every day we strive to make Lotema even better, providing greater security for its users. The partnership with GLI is a concrete way of achieving this goal, as its certification laboratories play an important role for the gaming and lottery industry, guaranteeing the conformity, security, and integrity of the products and systems used by Lotema,” Cassiano explained.
“We are grateful to the Lottery of the State of Maranhão for granting GLI the laboratory accreditation, becoming the first to be authorized in Maranhão. It is extremely gratifying to see how Lotema empower themselves by trusting the technical compliance process to provide transparency, integrity, and accountability to all the industry stakeholders through the certification process. The laboratory accreditation is the first step for a successful implementation of the certification based on jurisdictional standards, and the reason why we at GLI take this step very seriously and with great priority every time a new jurisdiction opens. We feel responsible for being part of the solution towards a fast and efficient implementation of regulations, thus supporting further local industry development and sustainable growth. We are grateful to Lotema and excited to be part of its thriving industry,” said Karen Sierra-Hughes, Vice President of Latin America, Caribbean, and Spain.
GLI has been working with regulators, lotteries, and industry stakeholders across the Latin American and Caribbean region for more than 26 years in their efforts toward regulation, sustainable growth, and eradicating illegal gaming. In Brazil, GLI has been side by side with government entities and all industry stakeholders for nearly 20 years, participating in public hearings in the Senate, Chamber of Deputies, and State government level, and in recent years, adding strategic local representation to strengthen their local support.
