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.”

GR8 Tech’s participation at the recent BIS SiGMA Americas event held in São Paulo was quite successful, highlighted by winning the ‘BEST WORKPLACE 2024’ award at the SiGMA Americas Awards and holding over 150 meetings with operators and other stakeholders. These interactions have laid a solid foundation for GR8 Tech’s strategic expansion in the region and provided the team with significant insights into the evolving Latin American iGaming market.

A Closer Look at the Brazilian Market and Wider LatAm

Brazil is not synonymous with Latin America. Each country on the continent has its own unique characteristics,Evgen Belousov, GR8 Tech CEO.

The most important thing to understand in the LatAm region is that it’s very diverse. There are significant cultural and operational differences that necessitate a localized approach. For example, “Brazil’s rhythm is distinct; life starts in the afternoon, and business interactions reflect this laid-back pace. To thrive here, understanding and integrating into the local lifestyle is essential.

Belousov further discussed the Brazilian market’s competitive nature, highlighting retention strategies’ crucial role. “The churn rate is high as players frequently shift between operators lured by aggressive marketing. Hence, having robust retention mechanisms, such as real-time tools and enticing bonus mechanics, is crucial to maintaining a loyal customer base,” he added.

Yevhen Krazhan, CBDO, addressed trending compliance and market preferences. “Regulation is a hot topic, with a keen focus on product compliance. Moreover, while classic sportsbooks saturate the market, emerging interests lie in areas like fantasy sports and social gaming, which present new opportunities for differentiation and growth.”

Thomas Carvalhaes, Senior Business Development Manager for the Latin America region, provided his expertise during the panel discussion “Understanding the demands and evolution of the B2B market”, highlighting the demand for localization and intuitive technology. “In Latin America, where many markets are still learning the ropes of iGaming, the simplicity of the technology is key. Products need to be user-friendly to ensure they meet the expectations of a clientele that values straightforward and engaging gaming experiences,” Carvalhaes explained.

Future Directions and Engagements

Building on the insights and achievements from BIS SiGMA Americas, GR8 Tech is actively expanding its presence in Brazil and LatAm, establishing its reputation as a key player in the region. The company is also exploring opportunities in other global markets, with Asia as the next target at SiGMA Asia, scheduled for June 3-6 in Manila, Philippines. This upcoming event presents another fantastic opportunity for GR8 Tech to demonstrate the capabilities of its flagship GR8 Sportsbook platform and forge new partnerships in another exciting and diverse region. We invite all our partners and clients to stay tuned, following our updates at https://gr8.tech/.
