The Brazilian iGaming Summit (BiS) is coming to move the Brazilian sports betting, lottery and online gaming sector. Considered the most important event in the segment in Latin America, BiS 2023 will take place between June 14 and 18 at the Transamerica Expo Center. Those interested can purchase tickets on the official website at BrazilianiGamingSummit.com.
The location was changed this year in order to offer more convenience and business possibilities to the public, which should exceed the 5,000 visitor mark. The Transamerica Expo Center is located on Avenida Dr. Mário Vilas Boas Rodrigues, 387 – Santo Amaro, SĂŁo Paulo (SP), Brazil.

Merger of the Brazilian iGaming Summit with Grupo SiGMA
It is noteworthy that Grupo SiGMA acquired the Brazil iGaming Summit (BiS). This merger will contribute to consolidating its existing business portfolio, as well as establishing a notable presence in this developing market.
Considering that there are now opportunities for in-person events without the restrictions of Covid-19, this is the best time to expand business in emerging markets. As a result, the SiGMA Group was asked by numerous operators, suppliers and affiliates to expand into promising markets such as Africa, Asia and Latin America. As a result, it was decided to jointly hold SiGMA Americas and BiS – events that will provide an unparalleled experience in Latin America.

Esportes da Sorte champions Responsible Gaming with strong internal culture and compliance focus

Internal training and strong compliance are the foundation for protecting bettors and meeting new requirements under Brazil’s gambling regulations
Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil, the company behind the Esportes da Sorte and Onabet platforms, is taking a proactive approach to player protection by embedding responsible gaming into its organisational DNA.
A strong internal culture focused on physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing, open dialogue around diversity, and hiring practices rooted in collaboration, customer focus, and ethics all lay the groundwork for an environment where protecting players is second nature.
In June, 600 employees took part in the immersive program “Learn to Protect.” Over three days of workshops led by the Instituto de Apoio ao Apostador (IAA) and the Empresa Brasileira de Apoio ao Compulsivo (EBAC), the team simulated real cases, learned to recognise signs of risk, and adopted international support protocols. The content has since become mandatory e-learning, with refreshers every six months.
The Brazilian betting market, which already moves over R$12 billion a year according to estimates from the Ministry of Finance, is undergoing its first full regulatory cycle. The new law requires each licensed operator to demonstrate preventive actions against gambling addiction, support channels, and self-exclusion mechanisms.
Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil has further strengthened its Responsible Gaming commitment with the appointment of new manager Ana Carolina Luna Maçães. In addition, the group launched a Code of Ethics and Conduct outlining five core principles — integrity, respect for people, privacy, responsible gaming, and compliance — which apply to employees, suppliers, and partners.
Technology is crucial in supporting this layer of protection by identifying issues before they occur. Machine learning models monitor dozens of behavioural variables (bet value, frequency and time, session duration), and when risk is detected, they trigger conscious gambling alerts, offering instant deposit limits or self-exclusion options. Monthly reports are sent to the Compliance team for ongoing audit and review. High-risk alerts are individually handled by a support team trained in active listening to better engage with users.
Over the past two months, the group hosted the Match-Fixing Prevention Forum for clubs including Náutico, Ceará, and Corinthians, equipping athletes and coaching staff with training in sports integrity.
Hugo Baungartner, Director of Institutional Relations and Partnerships at Esportes Gaming Brasil, said: “Promoting responsible gaming internally is the first step toward bringing education, protection, and transparency to the market. When our team is prepared, we can share that knowledge outward and protect those who bet. With a strong culture, rigorous compliance, and continuous education, we aim to give increasing visibility to a culture of Responsible Gaming.”
