Wiztech Group, the leading B2B and B2C online casino and sportsbook technology, content and entertainment provider, has put pen to paper on a major deal with Play’n GO to bring the tier one studio’s games to players at its Mexico-facing brand, Winpot.mx.
Winpot.mx has quickly become the go-to destination for online casino and slot players in the thriving Mexican market. This is in part due to its comprehensive portfolio of games from some of the biggest providers, including Play’n GO.
Players at Winpot.mx can now fire up the reels on blockbuster Play’n GO slots such as Tomb of Gold, Moon Princess, Fat Frankies, Book Of Dead and the recently released Temple of Tollan with the studio’s future releases also set to land in the casino’s game lobby.
The deal is hugely beneficial for both parties, helping to further establish Play’n GO as a leading content provider across the Latin American region and especially in Mexico, a market that continues to go from strength to strength.
In addition to its B2C online casino brand, Wiztech Group provides a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge solutions for operators looking to launch premium online casinos and sportsbooks in global markets. This includes turnkey and white label casino and sportsbook solutions, plus a powerful content aggregator.
Tsvetan Dzhurov, Commercial Manager at Wiztech, said: “Play’n GO needs no introduction. It is one of the most in-demand content providers in the industry and we are delighted to have joined forces to bring its full suite of thrilling online slot and casino games to players at Winpot.mx for the first time.

The Brazilian Ministry of Sports and Sportradar Group AG formalized a Technical Cooperation Agreement (ACT) focused on protecting the integrity of sports betting in the country. The partnership provides for the exchange of information related to the betting market and the implementation of joint initiatives to combat match-fixing.
Sportradar will provide specialized support to the Brazilian Ministry of Sports, including the reporting of potentially suspicious activity detected by its industry-leading Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS). In addition, Sportradar will provide education and training for Ministry of Sports personnel and staff focused on best practices in monitoring, identifying and investigating suspicious activities. The first workshop will be held on May 15 and include the Brazilian Ministry of Finance, a recent partner with whom Sportradar also signed an ACT.
André Fufuca, Brazil’s Minister of Sport, said: “Today we signed a milestone agreement in the fight against match-fixing in Brazilian sports. Integrity must be a constant principle when it comes to transparency, ethics, and, above all, the fairness of sports results. With this agreement, we will have tools to curb this practice and ensure greater transparency in competitions. This way, athletes, clubs, organizations, fans, and the entire population will be able to trust the fairness of the outcomes and, in turn, have the confidence to unlock the full potential of Brazilian sports.”
Andreas Krannich, EVP, Integrity and Regulatory Services, Sportradar said: “Establishing this partnership with the Ministry of Sports is an important milestone in strengthening sports integrity in Brazil. As a global integrity leader, leveraging cutting-edge technology to prevent and combat match-fixing, we believe that protecting competitions requires coordinated action between the public and private sectors. Through this collaboration, Sportradar continues to reaffirm its commitment to a more transparent and safer sports environment for the athletes and all the stakeholders involved in Brazilian sport.
This ACT adds to Sportradar’s growing number of integrity services partnerships in Brazil that include recent agreements signed with the Goiás State Attorney’s Office, the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation (CBV) and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), as well as existing relationships with soccer federations in 17 Brazilian states, creating a strong network focused on protecting the integrity of sport in the country.
