Brazil on Track to Legalise Sports Betting by July

 

The deputy secretary of prizes and draws at the Brazilian Ministry of Economy’s Secretariat of Evaluation, Planning, Energy and Lottery (Secap-ME) has given some hope that sports betting regulation could arrive this year. According to Waldir Eustáquio Marques Jr, regulation of the sector could be forthcoming in July.

Marques said: “Sports betting has some peculiarities distinct from traditional lotteries, and it involves very strong technological requirements that need to be studied a lot, such as the integrity of the sport, the prevention of money laundering, the prevention of the pathology of vulnerable players.

“We have closely studies the technicalities of administration, participated in various events and trained so that we can regulate this activity without having to take one step forward then another step back.”

According to Marques, the previous administration was very close to defining a regulatory framework but some aspects forced them to review the rules drawn up.

He said: “We were very close. The secretariat was working on clearance. We highlighted some points that could be detrimental so we had to stop and review the model in order to be able to proceed safely.”

TG Lab unveils new Brazil office to further cement position as market’s most localised platform

Global omni-channel platform provider TG Lab has announced the opening of a brand-new office in Brazil, further cementing its commitment to delivering industry-leading solutions and localised expertise across Latin America’s dynamic iGaming landscape.

Located in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, this strategic move reaffirms TG Lab’s position as a leader in the region and underlines its ambition to provide clients with unparalleled local knowledge and real-time responsiveness in both Portuguese and Spanish

Designed with comfort and functionality in mind, the new office spans an impressive 400m² and has been purpose-built to provide a modern, collaborative and inspiring work environment.

The new office will house a growing number of critical functions at TG Lab, including teams spanning casino games, gamification, platform development, DevOps, quality assurance and data analysis – supporting major clients such as Aposta.la, Stake and Playcet.

With Brazil’s iGaming market rapidly evolving and regulatory clarity improving, the timing for expansion was pivotal. TG Lab has continued to go from strength to strength across Latin America and the new office enables the company to scale operations and onboard new talent with ease.

Recruitment is already underway for a range of roles including Project Managers, .NET Developers, React Developers, Data Analysts and QA Analysts.

BETBY ACHIEVES GLI CERTIFICATION FOR PERU, EXPANDING ITS FOOTPRINT IN LATIN AMERICA’S REGULATED MARKETS

 

BETBY, a top-tier sports betting supplier, has received certification from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) to provide its sportsbook solution in Peru’s regulated market. This certification marks another significant milestone in BETBY’s continued expansion across Latin America.

With the Peruvian government formalizing its regulated sports betting framework, GLI certification has emerged as a crucial requirement for providers aiming to serve licensed operators in the country. BETBY is now authorized to deliver its innovative and tailored sportsbook solutions in Peru’s rapidly expanding regulated betting market.

GLI’s certification, recognized as a benchmark for excellence, validates BETBY’s ability to meet Peru’s strict technical requirements, including those related to sportsbook functionality, information security management systems, and information security standards. Peru’s regulatory framework is primarily based on GLI-33 certification, which BETBY successfully achieved in early 2025. As a result, the company was well-positioned to swiftly meet the country’s compliance standards.

“Peru represents a key step in our broader Latin American growth strategy, as the region continues to adopt clearer regulatory frameworks for online sports betting,” said Ilze Ramolina, Head of Legal & Compliance at BETBY. “Securing GLI certification for this market, which has a growing digital infrastructure and tech-savvy audience, allows us to support licensed operators in launching compliant and competitive offerings from day one. This is yet another step forward in our mission to deliver tailored, localized solutions that meet both local requirements and regional expectations across the region.”

This achievement follows BETBY’s previous certification for the Brazilian market, solidifying its presence in two of Latin America’s most promising jurisdictions. The supplier’s flexible and highly localised sportsbook platform, combined with its commitment to compliance, positions it as a trusted partner for operators looking to thrive in newly regulated environments.

By entering the Peruvian market, BETBY continues to demonstrate its strategic focus on Latin America, providing hyper-localized, engaging, and secure sports betting experiences for both operators and players.
