Altenar Software Limited is a B2B provider of sports betting solutions and associated services to licensed B2C gambling operators.[1]. Founded in 2011, the company specialises in providing front-end design and integrations for online and retail betting operators including data feeds, odds compilation, real-time data analytics, player account management, content management, risk management, licensing and compliance. Business operations are led from its headquarters in the Isle of Man, with a commercial office alongside regional offices in Greece and Uruguay. The company is a privately-owned, ISO 27001-certified[2] entity with a global client base.
History
[edit]
Established in 2011, the company offers front-end design and integration services for online and retail betting operators, including data feeds, odds compilation, real-time data analytics, player account management, content management, risk management, licensing, and compliance.
With experience in the iGaming and software development sectors, founders John Spiteri, Antonis Karakousis, and Dinos Stranomitis developed a platform to address the various needs of iGaming operators globally.
In 2012, the company launched the first version of its sportsbook with real-time data integration and odds management capabilities. It attracted the attention of several gambling operators, resulting in various partnerships.
By 2016, Altenar had expanded[3],forming partnerships with larger operators in the global market. The company improved its platform capabilities in subsequent years, launching live betting features in 2017 and integrating data analytics and AI-driven features in 2019. To support its expanding client base, the company also opened new offices in key markets, including a major hub in Colombia, marking its entry into the Latin American market[4].
During the COVID lockdown years between 2020 and 2022, the company's client base spiked[5], reaching the significant milestone of 100 global clients in 2021. During this period, Altenar's growth[6] was notable in land-based betting regions, leading to adaptations in their offerings to accommodate the increase in online betting[7]. This led to further developments in live betting options and virtual sports betting in 2023, both of which are important for online betting operations. Having established a presence in European and Latin American markets, Altenar began expanding into Asian[8] and African markets[9], forming partnerships with local operators.
In the same year, Altenar relocated its headquarters to the Isle of Man[10], indicating its commitment to maintaining a strong position in the global iGaming industry[11]
