Avanti Studios has secured a distribution agreement with bet365 that will see its live casino content launch with the operator in Spain before expanding into additional regulated markets.
The deal marks another milestone in the rapid commercial rollout of the Stockholm-based supplier, which emerged from stealth mode earlier this year and has focused heavily on regulated European markets.
Founded by industry veterans Gustaf Hagman and Jonas Delin, Avanti has positioned itself as a live casino provider built around motion-capture technology, real-time streaming and digital dealer avatars rather than traditional studio-based operations.
Spain has been central to that strategy. In March, Avanti signed a distribution agreement with Light & Wonder covering operators across EMEA and Canada, with Spain and Brazil identified as priority launch markets.
The partnership was designed to distribute Avanti's live casino portfolio, including blackjack, baccarat and Dragon Tiger titles.
The supplier entered the Spanish market through Luckia earlier this year, introducing a portfolio of games that included Toro y Matador, Baccarat and Dragon Tiger, with live blackjack added to its roadmap.
Spain's live casino sector has historically been more limited than many European markets, creating opportunities for suppliers seeking to introduce new formats within the country's regulatory framework.
Under the new agreement, bet365 will initially deploy Avanti's blackjack content alongside other titles presented by digital dealer clones tailored for local markets. The operator intends to expand the rollout into additional regulated jurisdictions over time.
Avanti Studios Co-Founder, Jonas Delin, said: "We're very excited to be partnering with one of the industry's leading operators in bet365. The deal will allow them to host new games like Blackjack in Spain."
The partnership follows a €5m ($5.8m) funding round completed in May, which brought Avanti's total seed funding to €10m. Existing investor Genting Casinos UK participated in both rounds as the supplier prepared for its first commercial launches.
For bet365, the agreement adds another supplier relationship as operators increasingly seek differentiated live casino products in mature regulated markets where content variety remains a key competitive factor.
Avanti's founders have stated that Spain was selected as its first launch market because of opportunities to introduce new live casino formats beyond the products traditionally available to local operators
