As Brazil’s new regulatory framework for iGaming takes shape, Atlaslive has strategically positioned itself as a leader in compliance, ready to support operators navigating these comprehensive standards. Brazil’s legislation mandates strict adherence to player registration protocols, Know Your Customer (KYC) standards and responsible gambling practices — all essential for protecting consumers and ensuring industry transparency

Achieving Compliance: Certifications That Cement Atlaslive’s Leadership

To meet Brazil’s rigorous technical standards, Atlaslive has secured all necessary certifications, including a GLI Certification against Brazilian regulation. These certifications underscore the platform’s unwavering commitment to fair play, security, and operational integrity.

In addition, Atlaslive has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, a globally recognized standard that establishes stringent requirements for information security management systems (ISMS). This certification highlights Atlaslive’s ability to effectively manage risks related to data security while ensuring the highest levels of protection for user and partner information. This achievement reinforces that Atlaslive’s internal IT systems meet the strictest global standards, giving operators and players alike unparalleled confidence in the platform’s reliability.

Together, these certifications exemplify Atlaslive’s dedication to combining technical excellence, robust security, and operational integrity. They solidify the platform’s standing in the Brazilian market and affirm its readiness to exceed expectations in any regulatory environment.

Unmatched KYC Standards at Atlaslive

At Atlaslive, Know Your Customer (KYC) practices are not just about compliance — they are the cornerstone of building trust and ensuring seamless user experiences. With the increasing demand for secure, efficient onboarding in Brazil’s highly regulated market, Atlaslive has developed a KYC framework that combines innovation, speed, and reliability.

A key example of this is Atlaslive’s strategic partnership with Legitimuz, Brazil’s leading provider of identity verification and facial recognition technology, and CAF, a global provider of identity verification solutions. By integrating Legitimuz’s state-of-the-art tools, Atlaslive has enhanced its KYC processes, enabling clients to complete player registration up to 30% faster. Leveraging features such as 3D facial recognition, automated document verification, and real-time biometric analysis, Atlaslive Platform ensures players are verified within 30 seconds, dramatically reducing friction without compromising security.

Atlaslive leverages CAF’s Bet ID technology to address critical issues of fraud prevention, user verification, and compliance with regulatory frameworks. CAF’s solution integrates a powerful combination of technologies for identity verification, including robust document validation and AI-powered facial recognition. Bet ID not only facilitates identity verification but also offers continuous monitoring of user behavior, enabling the detection of suspicious activities such as account takeovers. Other key features include digital identity, data protection, and money laundering prevention.

Beyond speed, Atlaslive’s KYC solution is designed to address critical compliance challenges. Robust automated workflows reduce the risk of human error while flagging high-risk users for further review, adding an essential layer of fraud prevention.

Additionally, Atlaslive’s KYC practices are tailored for scalability. Whether an operator manages hundreds or millions of users, the platform seamlessly adapts to handle fluctuating demand, ensuring consistent performance during high-traffic periods. By integrating advanced analytics, Atlaslive also empowers operators with actionable insights into user behaviors and patterns, enhancing their ability to identify and mitigate risks proactively.

With its unwavering commitment to secure, efficient, and compliant KYC practices, Atlaslive not only simplifies onboarding for operators but also builds a foundation of trust for players. By combining the latest technological innovations with a user-centric approach, Atlaslive sets the standard for KYC excellence in the Brazilian iGaming market and beyond.

Ensuring Compliance and Promoting Responsible Gaming

In the evolving Brazilian iGaming market, responsible gaming isn’t just a regulatory requirement — it’s a moral imperative. Atlaslive’s platform is built with cutting-edge features designed to safeguard players while enabling operators to remain compliant with Brazil’s local guidelines and broader global standards.

Atlaslive’s commitment to responsible gaming goes beyond the basics. By leveraging predictive analytics and machine learning, our platform actively monitors player behaviors, detecting patterns that may indicate risky or compulsive gambling. Operators can set customizable limits for players based on their betting history, flag unusual activity, and apply tailored interventions to mitigate harm.

For example, if a player exhibits strong betting patterns indicative of problem gambling, operators can use our platform’s tools to set personalized deposit or bet limits or restrict access entirely. Combined with real-time analytics and over 200 behavioral triggers, Atlaslive offers unmatched precision in identifying at-risk users.

The Responsible Gaming section of the Atlaslive platform provides players with the tools they need to maintain control of their gaming habits. Key features include:

Self-Exclusion Options: Players can opt out for durations ranging from 1 day to permanently, ensuring they can take a break when needed.
Spend and Time Limits: Customizable spend limits for sportsbooks or casinos help players manage their finances effectively.
Reality Check Notifications: Regular reminders, configurable from 1 minute to 2 hours, keep players aware of their gaming activity.

These tools not only help players make informed decisions but also align operators with global best practices, reducing the risk of regulatory breaches.

Responsible gaming and risk management go hand in hand. Atlaslive uses real-time fraud detection powered by advanced data analytics and machine learning to monitor betting patterns, detect suspicious activity, and prevent fraudulent behavior such as account takeovers, arbitrage betting, and money laundering. Operators are equipped with customizable tools, such as player-specific limits or maximum win thresholds, to further mitigate risks.

By integrating risk management and responsible gaming practices, Atlaslive ensures a secure and enjoyable environment for players while enabling operators to maintain compliance, avoid hefty fines, and protect their reputations.

With the regulatory landscape rapidly evolving in Brazil, Atlaslive is uniquely positioned to support iGaming operators through its certified iGaming Platform and KYC innovations.

This year’s WSOP Paradise features an expanded partnership with Triton Poker, the leading high-stakes tournament operator.

To reward early registrants, WSOP is introducing two new early-bird packages for players looking to secure their seats, with both offering massive added value:

The $100K Paradise Package – limited to just 500 packages, includes a 13-night stay (Dec. 5 to Dec. 18), complimentary access to the WSOP buffet and a $500 food & beverage room credit. The deposit to secure is $10,000.

GGPoker will once again serve as the exclusive international satellite partner, aiming to send more than 1,000 players to the Super Main Event. WSOP Express and Road to Paradise qualifier tournaments are already underway in the GGPoker tournament lobby. Additionally, over 500 players are expected to qualify for the Circuit Championship through WSOP Circuit gold ring events (running from Jul. 1 through Dec. 2, 2025, both live and online), and ClubGG plans to send more than 400 players to the same event.

In an exciting new partnership, PokerStake will cover up to 50% of the unsold action for Circuit Package winners who choose to list their Super Main Event action on the platform.

“I said last year that a $50M guarantee was crazy, but adding another $10,000,000 on top is absolutely insane! The WSOP is bringing the biggest high rollers and the best poker experience possible back to paradise,” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “With the new Super Mystery Bounty event and the expanded partnership with Triton, this is a can’t-miss festival for players of all levels. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”

“With the WSOP Paradise at Atlantis Paradise Island tournament schedule now set, the countdown to The Bahamas IS ON! This year’s lineup delivers an unbeatable mix of world-class events, record-breaking guarantees, and unforgettable poker moments in one of the most iconic destinations on the planet. From seasoned pros to newcomers, players from around the globe will find their place in paradise, and their shot at history,” added Joe Brunini, Chief Gaming & Customer Development Officer, Atlantis Paradise Island.

BASILISK, the global esports organization built to champion science, announced the signing of legendary fighting game competitor Justin ‘Jwong’ Wong as captain of its newly formed Fighting Game Community (FGC) Division. Wong will lead BASILISK’s entry into the FGC by recruiting players, developing community events, and creating FGC – science crossover content.

“Justin isn’t just a competitive genius – he is a cultural icon and humble leader within the FGC. We are incredibly proud to have him leading our FGC division and support the amazing work he already does for the community,” said BASILISK co-founder Christopher Bothur.

A nine-time Evolution Championship Series (Evo) Champion and Guinness World Record holder, Wong brings unparalleled FGC credibility and expertise to BASILISK. His reach extends across the entire FGC fandom of millions, and he was immortalized in Evo Moment #37 which has over 100 million views.

As Captain of BASILISK FGC, Wong will leverage BASILISK’s data analytics to scout and train the next generation of FGC pros.

“Math is super important to fighting games. I’m excited to join science’s esports team. I’m passionate about finding promising players with a positive mentality and shaping them into the next big thing. I want to see somebody else in the spotlight after me and help them reach their potential. If we can discover the next world champion, that would be fantastic,” said Wong upon joining BASILISK.

The signing comes on the heels of BASILISK’s new partnerships with The Planetary Society and Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), announced in July. These collaborations create a powerful bridge between renowned scientific institutions and gamers, which Wong will amplify to his millions of followers and fans.

“Justin is a dream addition to our organization. He exemplifies the dedication and analytical capacity required to be an esports champion or great scientist,” added BASILISK co-founder Hans Kassier.

Wong becomes the second “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) to join BASILISK, alongside Finnish StarCraft 2 legend Joona “Serral” Sotala, who just captured the SC2 Esports World Cup Championship in July 2025. The signing also creates opportunities for cross-over content with BASILISK’s diverse roster, including chess Grandmaster Vincent Keymer and award-winning science communicator Kyle Hill, who brings over 2.5 million followers and a vast network of science enthusiasts to the organization.
