Altenar Identifies Bettor Demand for Custom Experiences Amid Rising Regulatory and Cost Pressures
Bettors favor building custom experiences per Altenar’s Diego Salas in Yogonet. Bet Builder reached 39.6% of singles bets in the 2026 World Cup; player specials turned over four times Euro 2024 levels. The supplier stresses localization via the Winpot Mexico case plus flexible scaling in Ontario, Alberta and Finland amid cost and regulatory pressure.
SCCG Take — Operators need sportsbook platforms that convert existing inventory into relevant, efficient experiences rather than broader market lists to sustain margins under rising acquisition costs.
Sportsbook supplier Altenar is highlighting bettor demand for tools that let users construct their own wagers rather than select from fixed lists. In an interview with Yogonet International ahead of SBC Summit Lisbon, Sales Director Diego Salas tied this trend to broader industry shifts including tighter regulation, elevated acquisition costs and pressure on operators to improve efficiency.
Altenar’s 2026 FIFA World Cup report found that Bet Builder adoption reached 39.6% of singles bets, while Player Special market turnover was around four times higher than at Euro 2024. Salas said these figures demonstrate that more markets alone are insufficient; presentation, discoverability and combination features now determine relevance.
Depth Across Product, Localization and Regulated Markets
Altenar expanded presence in regulated jurisdictions including Ontario and Alberta through partnerships such as DAZN Bet while preparing for Finland’s forthcoming framework. Product updates since the prior SBC Summit Lisbon include Super Early Payout, enhanced Bet Builder functions, player and team props plus new personalisation and live betting controls. The supplier also built a dedicated World Cup Lobby to observe engagement at peak volumes.
A Winpot case study in Mexico illustrated that localisation must connect directly to actual betting profiles, not merely local sports or payment options. Salas noted that trading performance, margin management, market coverage and front-end flexibility proved equally critical. No single localisation template applies uniformly across Latin America; each market requires distinct adaptation of sporting preferences and commercial priorities.
Efficiency and Value Extraction Over Pure Scale
Salas argued the larger opportunity lies in extracting more value from existing sportsbooks instead of expanding coverage. Personalisation can reduce navigation friction and lift engagement. Improved trading tools, automation and configurable controls help manage high-volume periods without proportional cost increases. Recognition in SBC Summit categories for both Sportsbook Supplier of the Year and Employer of the Year reflects parallel investment in technology and teams.
The interview underscores that scalable core infrastructure must coexist with operator-specific configuration to satisfy divergent regulatory and player expectations.
