Cibelae said its membership grew 35% over the past two years, with its members now representing 87% of the Latin American lottery market, according to a statement. The organisation, marking its 38th anniversary, said it is preparing an AI-based tool for member lotteries and a 2027 agenda covering prediction markets, certifications and a congress in Puerto Rico.
Altenar has extended its Early Payout feature to ice hockey 1X2 markets, introduced in early 2026 as part of its sportsbook product updates, the supplier said. Eligible bets can be paid out before the final result is confirmed, subject to the applicable conditions.
Cibelae approved ARG Innova’s admission as an associated member at its third board meeting in João Pessoa, Brazil. The organisation said ARG Innova will contribute expertise in cybersecurity, information security and technology risk management to support lottery-sector resilience and knowledge-sharing.
Altenar says it will attend G2E Las Vegas 2026 to discuss sportsbook opportunities with operators and partners in the United States and Canada. The provider cited its partnership with DAZN Bet, which recently expanded into Ontario and Alberta, as part of its North American activity.
Altenar said it has added Bet Builder features for the 2026 NFL season. Direct Calculation lets players combine compatible selections from market groups, while Bet Builder Bundles organises related selections into betting paths. The company said both features had previously been introduced for other sports.
