Kaizen Gaming’s Winning Lineup of 2024

Sponsoring football’s biggest international competitions, introducing a fresh brand identity, achieving further market expansion in five new territories and introducing the Kaizen Foundation are among the highlights of a momentous 2024 for Kaizen Gaming, one of the biggest GameTech companies in the world.
International Expansion
In 2024 the company continued its growth journey as part of its goal to reach 26 markets by 2026 with its brand Betano. Last year, the online gaming leader entered five new markets – Mexico, Argentina, the UK, Denmark and Colombia – reaching a total of 18 markets.
The “Orange Summer” of football and a brand new identity
The past summer saw Betano becoming the Official Global Sponsor of both the UEFA EURO 2024™ and the CONMEBOL Copa America™ 2024 in an unprecedented first for the GameTech industry. The two tournaments served as an excellent introduction to Betano’s new brand identity, involving a new logo, to align with its position as one of the most popular online sports betting and gaming brands in the world.
Going into the 2024-25 season with landmark football partnerships
The new football season kicked off with two new landmark partnerships. First, Betano became the Principal and Front of Shirt partner of Aston Villa Football Club, marking its first ever entry into the world of the English Premier League. Moreover, in August, Betano continued building upon its already successful partnership with UEFA during the Euros, becoming Οfficial Global Sponsor of the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League from the 2024/25 season until 2026/27.
Big in LatAm
Except for sponsoring the CONMEBOL Copa America and entering three new LatAm markets in 2024, Betano also became title sponsor of South America’s two largest domestic leagues: the Brasileirão Betano in Brazil and the Torneo Betano in Argentina. The brand further established its leading position in Brazil, being the first operator to apply for a license and the first one to receive the relevant notification for authorization. As of January 1st, 2025, Betano will be a fully licensed operator in the new online gaming Brazilian landscape.
Products powered by Gen AI
Kaizen Labs, Kaizen Gaming’s product and innovation accelerator, introduced several innovations using Gen AI during the past year. Key highlights include Casino Co-pilot, an AI assistant helping players navigate the casino games, offering them personalized recommendations and insights, and AI Cards, which transform winning bets into personalized digital collectables, creating a more engaging and exciting way for players to share their successes. Kaizen Gaming also began developing its own slot games with AI-generated graphics, producing visually stunning results. Three games are in production, with a fourth underway.
Giving back
The past 12 months also saw the launch of the Kaizen Foundation, the Social Purpose Foundation exclusively funded by Kaizen Gaming, that rolled out its activities in Greece and Romania with children’s hospital renovations as well as a partnership with the UEFA Foundation for Children to support the “10,000 Smiles” project. At the same time, Betano reinforced its commitment to local communities with various activations, as for instance its partnership with Porto FC and the local university that brought to life INZONE, a sensory room at the Dragão stadium for people with sensory challenges. Kaizen Gaming also introduced its new international volunteering program, “The Collective”, which has already launched initiatives in six cities across Europe and Latin America.
Industry and people champions
This year held significant industry recognitions for Kaizen Gaming, which was Operator of the Year at both the SBC Awards and the EGR Operator Awards. At the EGR Operator Awards, the company set a new record by becoming the first operator to win seven awards in a single year. As one of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For in Europe™ Kaizen Gaming shows its commitment to its people and creating a winning culture.

Atlaslive Analysis: European Gambling Market Enters €123.4 Billion Digital-First Era

Reading Time: 3 minutes
Atlaslive, a premier iGaming platform provider, today released a comprehensive analysis of the European gambling market transformation, revealing that the industry’s €123.4 billion revenue base is undergoing unprecedented digital evolution. The analysis, based on latest market intelligence from European Gaming & Betting Association in partnership with H2 Gambling Capital, identifies mobile gaming as the dominant force reshaping player engagement across the continent.
Mobile Revolution Drives Market Transformation
Atlaslive’s analysis reveals that mobile devices now generate 58% of Europe’s online gambling revenue in 2024, with projections indicating this figure will surge to 67% by 2029. This mobile-first transformation represents a fundamental shift in how operators must approach platform development and player acquisition strategies.
“The data unequivocally demonstrates that the future of European gambling is mobile-first,” said Anastasiia Poltavets, CMO at Atlaslive. “Operators who fail to prioritize mobile optimization and user experience will find themselves increasingly marginalized in a market where player expectations have fundamentally evolved.”
Online Gambling Accelerates Toward 45% Market Share
The analysis identifies online gambling as the clear growth engine of the European market, with digital channels expected to command 45% of total gambling revenue by 2029, up from 39% in 2024. This €66.8 billion online market projection represents a 6.9% compound annual growth rate, significantly outpacing the 1.8% growth expected in land-based gambling.
Key growth drivers identified by Atlaslive include:
- Casino games leading digital adoption: €21.5 billion in 2024, growing to €30.8 billion by 2029
- Sports betting momentum: €13.7 billion online revenue with 6.9% annual growth trajectory
- Lottery digital transformation: Strongest growth potential at 7.7% annually, reaching €10.4 billion by 2029
Geographic Disparities Signal Untapped Opportunities
Country-by-country analysis reveals significant market maturity variations across Europe, presenting strategic opportunities for technology providers and operators.
Digital Leaders:
- Sweden: 68.3% online share
- Finland and Denmark: Both at 68.1% online share
- Strong mobile adoption and regulatory frameworks driving digital-first engagement
Growth Markets:
- Italy: Europe’s largest market at €21.0 billion with only 21.7% online penetration
- Germany: €14.4 billion market with 22.6% online share indicating substantial digital expansion potential
- France: €14.0 billion market with significant room for online growth
Strategic Implications for Industry Stakeholders
The Atlaslive analysis identifies several critical success factors for market participants:
For Operators:
- Mobile-native platform architecture becomes non-negotiable
- Omnichannel integration essential for capturing cross-platform player value
- Geographic expansion strategies should prioritize markets with low online penetration
For Technology Providers:
- Platform scalability must accommodate sustained high-growth environments
- Cross-jurisdictional compliance capabilities increasingly valuable
- Mobile-first development methodologies essential for competitive positioning
Market Resilience Demonstrates Industry Maturity
Despite digital transformation, analysis confirms the continued relevance of land-based gambling, which maintains €75.5 billion in 2024 revenue and projects steady 1.8% annual growth. This dual-track evolution demonstrates industry maturity and the enduring appeal of gambling experiences.
“The European gambling market is demonstrating remarkable sophistication in its evolution,” added Anastasiia Poltavets. “Rather than simple digital displacement, we’re witnessing the emergence of a truly integrated ecosystem where online and land-based channels complement and enhance each other.”
