Aspire Global to go live with Sportbook in Portugal

iGaming platform certified and license in place for Cofina Media

Aspire Global will be launching Sportsbook in Portugal shortly. The company’s platform has been legally and technically certified for the sports vertical and local partner Cofina Media today has been granted a betting license. Aspire Global entered the newly regulated Portuguese market at the end of September, 2017, through the launch of the casino Nossa Aposta; the gaming experience of which will now be completed through a unique sports betting offering well in time for the World Cup.

Aspire Global’s iGaming platform has been legally and technically certified for the sports vertical and a betting license has been granted today to Cofina Media, who will become the first B2B-partner to launch Sportsbook well in time for the up-coming World-Cup. Being reigning European champions, the Portuguese sports betting market is expected to do very well; driving acquisition and betting volume throughout the tournament and beyond – with significant financial contribution from partner-royalties to Aspire Global already within 3-6 months from launch.

Sports betting is the single most popular gaming category in Portugal and Cofina media is one of the leading traffic providers to sports operators in Portugal; mainly through its leading online sports magazine, Record. Adding a sports vertical to Cofina media’s proprietary brand Nossa Aposta in addition to the current casino offering, creates significant potential going forward.
