SBC is raising the bar with Brazilian DJ megastar Alok headlining the unmissable INFINITY Rio party on 27 February at SBC Summit Rio 2025.

Building on the incredible success of the first INFINITY edition in Lisbon, Alok’s world-class talent, global fame, and electrifying sets will ensure yet another unforgettable night of high-energy music, creating an extraordinary closing experience as the industry’s biggest party, INFINITY, makes its Brazilian debut in Rio.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, said: “Having Alok, one of the most listened-to Brazilian artists and one of the most followed electronic stars, headlining INFINITY Rio demonstrates the size and scale of SBC Summit Rio. Our delegates are in for a true Tomorrowland experience, blending business networking with genuine world-class entertainment.”

The Riocentro Super Stage, a fresh addition to SBC Summit Rio, will shed its conference atmosphere to host the party, with Alok setting the tone for the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, starting the next day on the 28th of February.

“We’ve timed SBC Summit Rio 2025 perfectly so attendees can dive into business and then roll straight into the Carnival. And with Alok’s performance, there’s no better way to kick off the party,” Sojmark added.

Alok has roots in a family of musical pioneers—his parents, Ekanta and Swarup, are psytrance legends—which has helped him become a global name through the combination of Brazilian rhythms with innovative electronic dance music (EDM). His breakout single ‘Hear Me Now’, created alongside Bruno Martini and Zeeba, has racked up nearly 800 million streams on Spotify alone.

Recognized as a leading force in the Brazilian Bass genre, Alok’s powerful basslines and infectious beats have earned him consistent recognition as one of the world’s top DJs. Ranked 4th in DJ Mag’s Top 100 for three consecutive years (2021-2023), he remains a major force in the EDM world.

The DJ’s success goes beyond just his chart-topping music. With nearly 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 30 million Instagram followers, he has become a worldwide phenomenon. He has headlined some of the biggest festivals, including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, and Lollapalooza, and has collaborated with renowned artists such as Dua Lipa, Jason Derulo and Ed Sheeran.

In addition to his music, Alok has left his mark on popular culture by becoming a character in the popular battle royale game, Garena Free Fire. His impact on the industry has earned him spots on several prestigious charts, including Billboard’s Dance 100, Forbes Brazil’s 30 Most Influential Brazilians, and Spotify’s Top 100 Global.

Aside from his career, Alok is deeply committed to philanthropy. He founded the Alok Institute, which focuses on supporting education, environmental conservation, and social causes in Brazil. As Alok himself said: “Giving is the very purpose of life, and what makes me the happiest.” His efforts to give back extend to the music industry as well—he founded Controversia Records, a sub-label of Spinnin’ Records, and UP Club Records to promote emerging talent.

Sojmark believes that Alok is the perfect act to headline SBC’s second INFINITY: “The INFINITY brand was born in Lisbon, where we hosted our very first EDM-style festival concert featuring big names like Don Diablo, Miss Monique and Darude and the energy that night proved we had created something special. That success confirmed we’re on track, and now INFINITY Rio is taking it to the next level, with star talent like Alok leading the charge and setting a new standard for industry events.”

SBC Summit Rio has quickly established itself as the must-attend event for Brazil and has moved to Riocentro, one of Latin America’s largest convention centers, for its 2025 edition. February’s event is projected to attract more than 15,000 attendees.

Alongside this growth, the introduction of the Super Stage will elevate the attendee experience, while the Affiliate Leaders Summit and Payment Expert Summit brands—both of which debuted in Lisbon—are set to make their Rio debut.

Logifuture, a leading global supplier of cutting-edge virtual sports and gaming technology, is thrilled to announce its attendance at the upcoming SBC Summit Latinoamérica, taking place in Miami from 29-31 October 2024.

As a recognised expert in emerging markets, particularly across Latin America, Logifuture will use the event to engage with the industry and educate key stakeholders around its innovative football simulation products, Zoom Soccer and Simulate, while taking strategic meetings with operators and partners from Stand F30. 

Latin America’s iGaming Boom

The Latin American market has quickly become one of the most dynamic and promising regions for online gambling and sports betting. As countries such as Peru, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina move towards comprehensive regulation, operators and suppliers are eyeing these territories as key areas for growth. With its vibrant sports culture, particularly around football, Latin America presents a unique opportunity for the virtual sports and betting sector.

Niccolo Cassettari, Logifuture’s Chief Business Development Officer, expressed excitement for the company’s presence at the summit: “Latin America is at a tipping point for regulated growth, and we see a tremendous opportunity for innovative products like Zoom Soccer and Simulate to revolutionise how sports betting is experienced across the continent. As regulation unfolds, we’re perfectly positioned to provide operators with the tools they need to meet demand for fast-paced, engaging content right across this diverse continent.

“We pride ourselves on thinking outside the box so that our operator partners can offer something fresh and exciting to their growing base of clients and consumers,” he added. “We know that our products really stand out in a crowded marketplace.” 

Why Virtual Sports Matter in Latin America

Logifuture’s focus on football simulation products is highly relevant for the Latin American market. Football is deeply embedded in the region’s culture, and as a result, sports bettors are particularly drawn to football-related gaming experiences. However, traditional sports betting often faces downtime between matches or tournaments, which can limit betting activity and frustrate consumers.

Logifuture’s flagship products, Zoom Soccer and Simulate, address this gap. Zoom Soccer is a 24/7 virtual football feed that seamlessly integrates into sportsbooks. Powered by RNG, it replicates the excitement of real football, by offering both pre-match and live (in-play) betting.

Simulate, meanwhile, is an innovative RNG-based product that instantly simulates outcomes of real events selected on a betslip. With dynamic margins and casino-style logic, it offers a fast, engaging experience, complete with stats and visuals for sports including football and basketball.

This focus on real-time, high-frequency betting is designed to meet the unique preferences of Latin American bettors, where instant action and the ability to place multiple bets in quick succession are key drivers of user engagement.

Building Trust Through Local Expertise

Logifuture’s recent certification as an approved B2B supplier in Peru, adding to its existing certification in Colombia, is a clear testament to its commitment to the Latin American market. The company is actively working with several local operators to expand the reach of its products.

Cassettari adds: “We’re here to build lasting partnerships with operators, providing them with the tools and support they need to thrive in these competitive markets. Our products are designed with local markets in mind, ensuring that we deliver not only top-tier technology, but also a deep understanding of the Latin American gaming landscape.”
