FairPlay Sports Media launches in Brazil with localized oddschecker brand

FairPlay Sports Media, the global sports media network fuelled by data and powered by fans, has launched in the Brazilian market with a localized version of its renowned odds comparison brand oddschecker.
Following ongoing success in the LATAM region, where the brand ranks as a top three traffic driver for sportsbooks in Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, Brazilian sports bettors will now be able to access localized, real-time odds grids at oddschecker.com/br, repurposed with market-specific APIs to ensure a seamless odds comparison experience.
The decision to launch in Brazil follows the recent regulation of sports betting, with FairPlay’s business and product strategy best-suited to legal markets where consumers are protected and sportsbooks operate in-line with generally agreed best practices.
FairPlay and its oddschecker brand have invested heavily in the region as of late, and this new launch also sees a number of new hires on the ground in Brazil to best operationalize the brand to become local sports betting experts, as well as delivering more effective operator partnerships.
Stuart Simms, Group CEO at FairPlay Sports Media, said: “The Brazil market has huge potential, arguably similar to the US in its scale, and this is an ideal time to service the sports mad fans of the country with a quality, fully localised odds comparison service that will empower them with the insight and pricing edge to take on their favoured sportsbooks.
“We are fully behind recent steps to regulate. We want to play by the rules, execute best practices and demonstrate values that we’ve learned from other maturing markets to bring about a better betting ecosystem for all.”
Richard Gale, Chief Revenue Officer at FairPlay Sports Media, said: “The Brazilian market is both challenging and hugely rewarding. With so many local and multi-national operators, our industry leading technology will provide consumers with true comparisons and a fairer betting space. With regulation coming in, now is the time for our brands, global expertise and multi-national media partnerships to properly enter the market.”
Oddschecker’s Brazilian site will offer sports bettors the same, market-leading experience that users receive in other markets, with an added focus on sports relevant to the country, including soccer and U.S. sports.

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is proud to announce a new collaboration with Brazilian influencer Jon Vlogs. Under the deal, Vlogs serves as the brand’s official LATAM ambassador starting in July.
To celebrate the partnership, BGaming has joined forces with Jon Vlogs to support his “BDJ na Amazônia” charity project, a mission focused on environmental and social impact in the heart of the Amazon.

Continuing the mission in Brazil, BGaming has also donated €5,000 to Instituto Onça-Pintada (IOP), the world’s first institution dedicated to jaguar conservation in Brazil. The organisation conducts vital scientific research to ensure the preservation of the jaguar across the country’s various biomes.
Kate Puteiko, CMO of BGaming, said: “Our partnership with Jon Vlogs goes far beyond traditional brand ambassador deals. It’s a testament to our commitment to social responsibility, the environment, and Brazil.
“The ‘BDJ na AmazĂ´nia’ project aligns perfectly with our values at BGaming, and we are proud to be able to make such a positive impact and to help preserve Brazil’s natural heritage.”
Jon Vlogs said: “I’m extremely excited to partner with BGaming. They are always striving to go beyond, also trying to make a positive impact in Brazil, and this collaboration is a perfect example. Being able to continue my passion for playing while on a mission to help the Amazon is a huge win for me, and I’m grateful to BGaming for giving me the opportunity to do so. This is just the beginning of what promises to be a really exciting and productive partnership.”

Spintec Strengthens its Partnership with Merkur in Colombia and Peru

At the Peru Gaming Show in June, strategic partners Merkur Gaming and Spintec entered a new chapter in their partnership in Latin America. The two companies signed a distribution agreement for Colombia and Peru, marking an important milestone in their collaboration. Their united presence at the show highlighted the strength of this alliance, which continues to deliver considerable advantages to their already winning cooperation across the region.
Spintec’s debut appearance this year was a highlight of Merkur Gaming stand at Jockey Plaza in Lima. The Slovenian specialist in Electronic Table Games (ETGs) featured an impressive range of products that combined innovation, reliability, and performance.  Their Karma and Charisma product lines were the big showstoppers with their unbeatable combination of innovation and reliability. These products are gaining traction and popularity all over the world for a very good reason: they are fully engaging and attractive to look at, while also being extremely dependable.
And the quality of Spintec’s portfolio is already delivering measurable results in the region. The renowned research company Eilers & Krejcik recognized Spintec as the top-performing ETG supplier in South America in their April 2025 Latin America Game Performance Report. This achievement propels the partnership in Peru and Colombia even further. It not only underlines the seamless integration of Merkur’s powerful regional presence with Spintec’s technological leadership in ETGs but also serves as a testament to the importance of companies’ growing strategic alliance.
“ETGs are a valuable and strategic addition to Merkur’s already robust product portfolio,” said Dominik Raasch, Management Board Member, Merkur Games. “Our partnership with Spintec is built on a shared vision of delivering excellence, innovation, and value to our customers. The joint market presence we are creating in Latin America is only the beginning.”
Goran Sovilj, Global Sales Director at Spintec, echoed the sentiment: “Our collaboration with Merkur Gaming continues to deepen, and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved together. With their strong local teams, infrastructure, and sales support, we are perfectly positioned to take the leading role in the ETG market in Latin America, and beyond.”
As the companies continue to strengthen and widen their strategic alliances in the region, their commitment to joint innovation, market leadership and next-level gaming experiences grows even further. The optimism is based on past achievements, but also on a very positive outlook towards future growth.
