Dual wins as ‘Casino Operator of the Year (LatAm)’ and ‘Sportsbook Operator of the Year (LatAm)’ affirm Kaizen Gaming’s leadership and product excellence across Latin America
Kaizen Gaming, one of the world’s biggest GameTech companies and owner of the Betano online sports betting and gaming brand, has been crowned ‘Casino Operator of the Year (LatAm)’ and ‘Sportsbook Operator of the Year (LatAm)’ at the highly celebrated SBC Awards Americas 2025 held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Wednesday 14th May.
The two wins recognise Kaizen Gaming’s strong focus and commitment to delivering an exceptionally high-quality product offering with customer experience and satisfaction at its core. They also signify the company’s sustained growth and accelerating momentum as a leading operator across the region and beyond.
Christos Tzalavras, Chief Product Officer, Kaizen Gaming, said: “We’re proud to be recognised for having the best sportsbook and casino products in Latin America, which is undeniably one of the most dynamic and exciting gaming markets in the world today. These awards reflect our team’s passion, the strength of our strategy, and our commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality, and responsible gaming experiences. Our main secret is prioritising the customer experience in everything we do. This is a milestone moment for our brand, but the ‘Kaizen way’ is one of continuous improvement, so we’ll keep raising the bar. Thank you to the whole team for your hard work and dedication in making this achievement possible.”
Kaizen Gaming was the first operator to be officially licensed in Brazil this January. Key highlights in 2025 to-date include the renewal of Betano’s partnership with F1 legend Felipe Massa, its continuing support for Supercopa Betano Rei 2025 and the Supercopa Feminina Betano 2025, and notably the recent start of its landmark long-term principal and front-of shirt sponsorship with Club Atlético River Plate. These milestones follow its rapid expansion into three new LatAm markets last year, its partnership with CONMEBOL Copa America 2024, and title sponsorship agreements with the Brasileirão Betano in Brazil and Torneo Betano in Argentina.
