Latin America’s main award recognises BetssonFC’s launch campaign in Brazil, with Gold and Silver awards in two categories.

Betsson Group won two awards at the El Ojo Iberoamerica Festival – the most important marketing and creativity award ceremony with a Latin perspective in the world – held in Argentina on November 24th. The winning campaign was created for the launch of BetssonFC, Betsson’s fantasy game in Brazil. The goal of the award-winning campaign was to generate buzz and boost engagement in Betsson and Íbis Sport Club (known as “The Worst Team in the World”) in social media.

Entitled “Everyone can play with the best in the world. Even you,” the campaign motivated the soccer community to find out who was behind the biggest sponsorship in the Club’s history. It also featured digital pieces, the collaboration of influencers, and a movie starring the players, which was shot at the Arena Pernambuco, in Recife, Brazil.

“Designed for the launch of our fantasy game in Brazil, the campaign was perfectly in line with Betsson’s culture of supporting sports around the world,” explains Andre Gelfi, Betsson’s managing partner in Brazil. “Ibis was not randomly chosen. The team has built all its popularity with good humor, in a light and relaxed way, and is very well regarded by the whole soccer community. We are happy that this partnership has yielded such a special recognition”, he adds.

During the El Ojo Iberoamerica Festival, Betsson Brazil’s campaign surpassed other shortlisted campaigns from countries like Peru and the United States, as well as Brazilian campaigns of well-renowned brands from other industries. The Festival’s 24th edition received 2,317 entries for these awards.

El Ojo Iberoamerica has been held since 1998 and is the first international festival with a Latin approach and perspective on creativity, communication and entertainment. The festival is one of the most recognised in the world and the leading one in Latin America.

Betsson Group has inaugurated its second office in Latin America, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This expansion strengthens Betsson’s commitment to the Argentine market, reinforcing its focus on local expertise and sustainable growth.

Argentina has emerged as one of Betsson’s fastest-growing gaming markets, supported by technological advancements, innovation, and key strategic partnerships. The company actively engages with the country’s vibrant sports culture, sponsoring top-tier football clubs, including Boca Juniors and Racing Club. These partnerships, along with the new office, underscore Betsson’s long-term investment in building a strong local presence.

“In opening this new office, we reaffirm our commitment to Argentina and the broader Latin American region. Argentina is a key market for us and this expansion reflects our dedication to sustainable growth, driven by the talent and expertise of our employees. We are confident that their skills and passion will help us continue providing responsible entertainment while strengthening our position in the region,” said Jesper Svensson, CEO of Betsson Group.

Betsson Group currently holds licenses in five Latin American markets: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. The company’s strong growth in Argentina has contributed to Latin America accounting for 26% of Betsson’s total revenue in Q4 2024, highlighting the region’s importance in Betsson’s global strategy.

The Argentine market continues to grow rapidly, driven by increased digital adoption and innovation in online gaming. Betsson’s localised approach, combined with technological advancements and strategic partnerships, has positioned it as a leading player in the country.

Since 2008, Betsson has been expanding in Latin America. In June 2024, a subsidiary of Betsson AB secured its first local licenses in Peru, strengthening its position in the newly regulated market. More recently, in February 2025, Betsson obtained a Brazilian license, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Latin America’s largest gaming markets.
