Betsson Becomes First Operator To Go Live In Colombia With Scientific Games’ OpenGaming™ Platform
Scientific Games Corporation has taken the OpenGaming ecosystem live for the first time in Colombia with Betsson Group that last year acquired a 70% stake of one of Colombia’s first licensed operators, Colbet.
Colbet’s customers can initially enjoy access to games developed by Scientific Games’ in-house studios, along with content supplied by its newly acquired business Lightning Box, as well as third-party providers Big Time Gaming and ReelPlay, with the full OpenGaming portfolio set to be made available in the future.
Alongside premium content, OpenGaming also gives access to complementary features and a host of responsible gaming tools, boosting Betsson’s attractiveness for new players.
The debut of OpenGaming in Colombia marks Scientific Games’ first step into the LatAm online casino market. Colombia was regulated in 2016 and is widely seen as a model for legislation across a region that holds significant long-term potential.
Ciara Nic Liam, Director of Gaming at Betsson Group said: “It is important for us to offer a premium experience to players in Colombia and by launching with one of the industry’s pre-eminent content aggregation platforms, we are able to do exactly that.
“With the addition of Scientific Games’ in-house content and titles produced by leading studios in the initial roll-out phase, we can continue to present our customers with an ever-growing content catalogue with widespread appeal.”
Dylan Slaney, SVP Gaming, Digital at Scientific Games said: “Betsson Group has big plans across both Colombia and the LatAm region and we are sure that our offering will appeal to its players across a wide demographic.
“This partnership represents the first step for OpenGaming in a vibrant market. Our sights are firmly set on building sustainable success across LatAm, one of the most important growth areas in the world for the iGaming industry.”

SYNOT Games enters the Argentinian iGaming market with Betsson as a trusted partner

SYNOT Games, a leading developer of cutting-edge casino games and solutions, has officially entered the Argentinian iGaming market through a strategic partnership with Betsson, one of the most established and globally recognized operators in the industry.
This collaboration marks SYNOT Games‘ debut in Argentina and signals a significant step in the company’s ongoing expansion across Latin America. By joining forces with Betsson, SYNOT Games reinforces its commitment to working exclusively with trusted partners in regulated markets.
“Entering Argentina with a partner like Betsson is a proud moment for us,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.
“Latin America is a rapidly growing region in the iGaming space, and Argentina stands out for its dynamism and regulatory maturity. We’re excited to offer our premium portfolio to a new audience and deepen our footprint in LatAm.”
Sarah Micallef, Head of Global Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, also expressed enthusiasm: “We are pleased to welcome SYNOT Games to our portfolio in Argentina. Our focus has always been to offer our players top-tier content in every market we operate. SYNOT’s games meet our high standards for quality and entertainment, and we are confident they will resonate well with our Argentinian audience.”
Argentina’s online gambling sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, particularly following the 2021 regulatory shift that enabled provinces to license operators independently. Buenos Aires, both the city and the province, has become a focal point for major international brands, offering a regulated and competitive market environment that is ideal for industry expansion.
The deal strengthens SYNOT Games‘ positioning in Latin America, aligning with the company’s strategic roadmap of sustainable growth and responsible gaming in fully licensed jurisdictions. With an existing presence in Brazil and Colombia, this move into Argentina further consolidates SYNOT Games’ commitment to expanding across the most dynamic and regulated iGaming markets in the region.
