EveryMatrix, a global provider of technology and solutions for the online gambling and lottery sector, has officially joined CIBELAE (Corporación Iberoamericana de Loterías y Apuestas de Estado). This step represents a significant development in the company’s ongoing efforts to expand its global influence, particularly in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking markets across Latin America, Central America, Spain, and Portugal.

By becoming an Associate Member of CIBELAE, which is the regional branch of the World Lottery Association (WLA) for Ibero-American countries, EveryMatrix positions itself alongside some of the most recognized and respected organizations in the global lottery and betting industry. The move signals a strategic commitment to deepening partnerships with regulators, lotteries, and operators across more than 80 countries.

The membership was endorsed by CIBELAE’s board and is scheduled to receive formal confirmation during the organization’s forthcoming Annual Ordinary Assembly later this year.

What is CIBELAE and why membership matters

CIBELAE serves as the official Ibero-American corporation of state lotteries, representing more than 80 countries that share a common linguistic and cultural heritage. With strong connections to Latin America, Spain, and Portugal, it plays a vital role in coordinating best practices, fostering collaboration, and supporting modernization in the lottery and gaming sector.

By joining this organization, EveryMatrix gains more than just symbolic recognition. Membership provides the company with:

This new position allows EveryMatrix to engage directly in working groups, seminars, and industry conferences organized under CIBELAE’s umbrella, creating an environment where the company can both learn from established markets and contribute innovative solutions to emerging ones.

Strengthening global and regional influence

EveryMatrix’s entry into CIBELAE is not simply a symbolic membership; it is part of a larger strategic vision. The company has long identified Latin America and Iberian markets as priority regions, given their fast growth, regulatory developments, and increasing embrace of digital gaming solutions.

This aligns with the company’s broader mission to provide technology that supports sustainability, innovation, and transparency in regulated markets.

EveryMatrix’s existing presence in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking regions

The decision to join CIBELAE builds on EveryMatrix’s long-standing footprint in Latin America and Iberian markets. The company has already established partnerships with leading operators and state lotteries in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Spain, and Portugal.

Its product portfolio in these regions includes:

By building on these existing successes, EveryMatrix is using CIBELAE membership to accelerate growth, gain regulatory insights, and strengthen its reputation as a trusted partner for national and state-owned lotteries.

Industry impact and outlook

The inclusion of EveryMatrix into CIBELAE reflects broader industry trends where cooperation between technology providers and regulatory associations is increasingly essential. As more jurisdictions regulate gambling and online betting, the need for secure, transparent, and innovative solutions grows.

For the industry, this partnership means:

• Improved communication channels between state-run lotteries and private technology suppliers.
• A stronger likelihood of harmonizing responsible gaming measures across multiple jurisdictions.
• Deployment of adaptable platforms capable of supporting extensive and varied player communities.
• Expanded international cooperation aimed at tackling unregulated or unlawful gambling practices.

Looking forward, this membership could pave the way for additional partnerships in countries preparing to reform or expand their gambling legislation. It also positions EveryMatrix to act as a bridge between European regulatory experience and the rapidly growing Latin American landscape.
