Leadstar Media outline big ambitions for My Betting Sites
Swedish iGaming affiliate company Leadstar Media has strengthened its position in the British market by introducing a new bookmaker comparison website, My Betting Sites.
The Stockholm-based lead generation experts have been at the forefront of the iGaming space in territories such as the UK, Sweden, and Germany for over three years.
While they are now expanding beyond Europe and into the Americas and Asia, their attention has not been diverted from their core markets.
“The plan is to accelerate our growth within the markets we are already active in, as well as entering new ones,” said CEO Eskil Kvarnström.
“In the past, we have had to prioritise certain territories, but fortunately we are now in a position where we can continue to be aggressive in the UK and Sweden while hitting the ground running in places like the US and India.”
“We already have the top sites in the UK within certain niches in betting and we intend to do the same with MyBettingSites.com”
My Betting Sites compiles the best bookmakers through detailed reviews and a rating system. Users are able to view the pros and cons for each betting site, as well as all key information such as payment methods, odds providers, game types and company information.
Some of Leadstar Media’s other brands focus more on betting offers or betting tips, but Kvarnström believes it is important that My Betting Sites differentiates and innovates: “There is no point creating the same product over and over again. There are so many elements to iGaming and so many different types of content that bettors want.
“We have taken learnings and data from previous projects and used this to determine what we must do going forward. My Betting Sites is something we know can be a great resource for bettors in the UK and beyond.”
On top of the UK, My Betting Sites has a section for Canada, Kenya, India, and Nigeria. Leadstar would not normally combine the country pages and include them all on the same website, but this is something that Product Director Jacob Ljunggren believes can help drive the brand forward.
“Usually we keep projects in different territories completely separate, but our vision for My Betting Sites is much bigger,” said Ljunggren.
“Long term, we want MyBettingsites.com to be recognised as a global product, and the early signs are very strong, with all of the territories on the site contributing in their own way.”
“We know that some markets will be more straightforward to succeed in than others, but we are up for the challenge and not afraid to try new things.”
With other English-speaking countries such as New Zealand and South Africa in the pipeline, Leadstar is not ruling out including My Betting Sites in their plans for the US market.
Ljunggren continued: “There are no immediate plans to add the United States to My Betting Sites as our focus is on other American projects, but never say never. It would make sense, perhaps later this year.”
