JefeBet Announces Launch of New Proprietary Free-to-Play Loteria Game

JefeBet

JefeBet, the premier gambling and multimedia brand for bilingual and Spanish-speaking Americans, announced a new proprietary, free-to-play Loteria game scheduled to debut this Fall, during National Hispanic Heritage Month. The game, built in partnership with Plan A Technologies, is designed as a hybrid of the widely-played games Loteria and Keno. It will be available to play on both iOS and Android platforms. Loteria, often referred to as “Mexican bingo,” is a game of chance where illustrated cards replace numbered balls. This nostalgic game has been played in Latino and Hispanic communities for nearly 150 years. Keno is a casino game, similar to bingo, in which players choose up to 10 numbers from the given table of numbers ranging from 1 to 80. Twenty numbers are drawn and players are paid out accordingly. “The Latino and Hispanic communities in the USA have been drastically underserved for decades, particularly so with gambling, entertainment, and media products. This is why we’ve created JefeBet as the premier gambling and entertainment platform for tens of millions of people that identify as Latino or Hispanic in the USA,” said Seth Schorr, CEO of FSG Digital. “The launch of the Loteria game is the first of many announcements and initiatives aimed at expanding our footprint beyond Las Vegas, in an effort to provide real value and authentically developed products to an expanding mainstream audience.” JefeBet’s parent company, Fifth Street Gaming (FSG), is a full-service hospitality and casino management company that has catered to the Latino market for more than 15 years. FSG casino properties, the Silver Nugget and the Lucky Club, are the only two properties in the United States to operate Loteria on-site. After years of proven success, FSG is introducing its JefeBet brand and its digital capabilities to expand Loteria beyond the local Las Vegas Latino community, and to players across the country. "We're really excited to be working with JefeBet on putting this game together,” said Aron Ezra, Chairman at Plan A Technologies. “It's going to be a fun, fast loteria experience that will get better and better over time as we keep adding features and new play mechanics. We're grateful to our partners at JefeBet for their vision in bringing this experience to life and providing a modern way to experience this classic game.” For more information on JefeBet, please visit: JefeBet.com. ABOUT FSG Digital FSG Digital, operating its flagship brand JefeBet, traces its roots in interactive gaming back to the year 2000 when CEO Seth Schorr developed Wynn Resortsâ first interactive casino. Today he is joined by his Fifth Street Gaming partner Jeffrey Fine and experienced iGaming entrepreneur Seth Young. FSG Digital focuses on providing compelling, authentic gambling related content and products to the Latino and Hispanic communities in the USA and beyond. JefeBet.com is a multimedia web portal, featuring proprietary written gambling and lifestyle content, numerous podcasts via the JefeBet Podcast Network, sports trivia prediction games via the JefeBet Pronosticos y Deportivos app on iOS and Android, and more.

The Trajectory Of Growth In E-commerce In Southeast Asia — A Case Of Indonesia

Society Pass Incorporated

Countries in Southeast Asia are experiencing serious growth in e-commerce. E-commerce sales are expected to reach nearly $90 billion this year, up about $16 billion from last year, according to eMarketer. E-commerce in the region is projected to pass the $100 billion mark by 2023, a significant increase from $37.22 billion in 2019. Unlike other geographies that are forecasted to experience moderate growth, Southeast Asia might witness a 20.6% increase, the largest globally. Behind Southeast Asia is Latin America, which would be the only region to hit the 20% threshold this year. Which Countries In Particular? E-commerce sales in four countries are projected to grow faster than in all of Southeast Asia this year, and two of them — the Philippines and Indonesia — are in the region. The Philippines ranks first with a growth rate of 25.9%, while Indonesia comes third at 23%. The other countries are India with 25.5% and Brazil, which is expected to grow by 22.2%. Why Indonesia? Indonesia’s e-commerce adoption is one of the largest in the world. In 2020, up to 90% of internet users between ages 16 and 64 purchased something online. Indonesians are “among the world’s most passionate adopters of digital technology”. According to the consulting firm McKinsey & Co., an average Indonesian spends four hours per day on the internet using a handheld device — twice the time spent by a U.S. resident. With 99.15 million users, the country has the fourth-largest population of Meta Platforms Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: META) Instagram users and the largest in the Southeast Asia region. The country also is among the largest for number of Twitter Inc. (NASDAQ: TWTR) users at 18.45 million. E-commerce In Indonesia Of Indonesia’s 278.3 million people 138 million do their shopping online, according to a report by the Institute of Southern Asian Studies. The e-commerce industry accounts for 72% of the total value of the digital economy. Indonesia’s e-commerce sector is expected to reach almost $63 billion in 2022, according to Statista. By 2025, the market is projected to reach $90 billion. The e-commerce market seemingly runs on two models: e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, Tokopedia and Bukalapak and social commerce, which involves buying and selling goods on social media platforms. E-commerce platforms account for 60% of all transactions while 40% of shopping is conducted via social commerce. Society Pass Inc. (NASDAQ: SOPA) is an example of an acquisition-focused e-commerce holding company that could be looking to become the Goliath of e-commerce in Indonesia and overall Southeast Asia. The company operates in six verticals: loyalty, lifestyle, food and beverage, telecom, digital media, and travel. It reports connecting millions of consumers and merchants in the region. SoPa Rolls Out Loyalty App On June 27, SoPa announced the launch of a beta version of its loyalty app that enables customers to earn and redeem points at different retailers while building customer loyalty for merchants. The company reports that the app helps merchants generate more revenue by retaining existing customers, attracting new ones, reducing customer turnover and synching customer data through personalized advertising campaigns. “The Southeast Asian retail sector is at the cusp of a massive transformation powered by the data-driven meta economy. We designed a gorgeous user interface backed by sophisticated backend infrastructure to kickstart a virtuous cycle of revenue generation and loyalty creation, where Society Pass and Society Points generate more revenues for merchants,” SoPa Founder, Chairman and CEO Dennis Nguyen said at the launch of the beta application. SoPa reported plans to modify and integrate the app with select customers and merchants across Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Singapore in the second quarter of the year. The company expects to fully launch the app by the end of the year, when customers will be able to pay for goods and services in-store, in-app or online. As a loyalty and data marketing ecosystem, Society Pass operates multiple e-commerce platforms across its key markets in SEA. Its business model focuses on analysing user data through the expected launch of its Society Pass loyalty platform and circulation of its universal loyalty points, which seamlessly connects consumers and merchants across multiple product and service categories to foster organic loyalty. Since its inception, SoPa has amassed over 1.6 million registered consumers and over 5,500 registered merchants/brands on its platform. It has invested 2+ years building proprietary IT architecture with cutting edge components to effectively scale and support its consumers, merchants, and acquisitions.Society Pass provides merchants with #HOTTAB Biz and #HOTTAB POS – a specialized POS technology solution, a comprehensive system for payment, loyal customer management, user profile analytics, and convenient financial support packages for small and medium-sized enterprises.In addition, SoPa operates Leflair.com, Vietnam’s leading lifestyle e-commerce platform, Pushkart.ph, a popular grocery delivery company in Philippines, Handycart.vn, a leading online restaurant delivery service based in Hanoi, Vietnam, and Gorilla Networks, a Singapore-based, blockchain/web3-enabled mobile virtual network operator.For more information, please check out: http://thesocietypass.com/.
