The application, filed under request number 56.195.600/0001-07, positions Meridianbet among a select group of global operators who will be part of one of the most anticipated market launches in the global sports betting and iGaming industry.
The window for prioritized license applications in Brazil closed on August 20, 2024, with a total of 113 operators submitting their applications ahead of the deadline.
By securing its place in this priority group, Meridianbet has ensured that its license will be processed by January 1, 2025, which is the forecasted launch date for Brazil’s legal sports betting and iGaming market.
Meridianbet’s inclusion on this exclusive list underscores its status as one of the key players in the global gaming industry. With Brazil poised to become one of the world’s largest gaming markets, this license represents a significant opportunity for Meridianbet and Golden Matrix Group.
Meridianbet’s application includes both sports betting and iGaming (online casino) under Brazil’s comprehensive licensing regime, making it one of the few operators positioned to offer a full suite of gaming experiences to Brazilian players. The Brazilian gambling industry is forecasted to generate $34 billion in sports betting turnover by 2028, with an onshore gross win of $2.8 billion, according to a report by the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA).

Gaming Corps makes debut in regulated Brazil
Provider among a small number of studios that went live from day one with more than 50 games already being enjoyed by players at big name brands like Betano and Superbet
Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game studio based in Sweden, has made its hotly anticipated debut in the newly regulated Brazilian iGaming market.
The developer is one of a small number of providers offering 50+ slot, casino and non-traditional games to operators in the market, which opened its doors to regulated online gambling on 1 January 2025, from day one.
Gaming Corps content is already live with some of the leading operators in the market including the likes of Betano, Sportingtech and Superbet. The studio is now looking to join forces with other brands so they too can launch its in-demand content to their players.
Gaming Corps anticipates huge interest in its non-traditional casino content including Mines and its unique Smash4Cash game series.
The provider’s most popular games among Brazilian players include Penalty Champion and Jet Lucky 2 but operators can access Gaming Corp’s entire portfolio including Casino Slots, Table Games, Multiplier Games, Ine Games, Plinko Games and Smash4Cash titles.
Brazil is set to be one of the largest iGaming markets in Latin America and is estimated to be worth up to $1.4bn in 2025 alone rising to $3.7bn by 2029 according to H2 Gambling Capital.
Juha Kauppinen, CEO of Gaming Corps, said: “The entire industry has been working very hard to be prepared for Brazil launching on January 1 2025, and this includes the entire Gaming Corps team.
“Competition is of course fierce but that also makes our achievement of being among the first providers to launch into the market with more than 50 games even stronger.
“Gaming Corps was one of the very few suppliers already live on day one with so many games on the leading operators, and we will now work even harder to get them live on even more licensed brands in the coming weeks and months.
“The potential in Brazil speaks for itself, and with our unique non-traditional games and our ability to create localised experiences, we have high hopes for the Brazilian market becoming a success for us and our operator partners.”

Push Gaming makes market entry with several operators in Brazil
Push Gaming has laid a down marker for its ambitious 2025 growth by taking its content live in Brazil across a number of top brands, signalling a further major regulated market entry in its recent impressive commercial activity.
The launch sees Push’s strong games portfolio roll out to players on day one of the newly regulated market via several leading operator brands, including tier-one names such as Bet365, Entain, Kaizen Gaming and Novibet.
The launch is a milestone in the studio’s commercial development and sees it enter a Brazilian market with vast revenue potential.
The first key announcement of the year for Push Gaming follows a strong finish to 2024, which saw it collaborate with BetMGM in Ontario, the first step in its closer cooperation with the household name. The operator is set to be the exclusive partner in the US with Push when it goes live.
Fiona Hickey, Chief Business Development Officer at Push Gaming, said: “The last few months have seen some incredibly significant announcements on our commercial roadmap and seeing our games live in Brazil is the latest standout.
“The market there is one of most buoyant, globally, and has absolutely lived up to all the buzz it has received in recent years. That suits our content perfectly, and we know that our performance in Brazil will put us in the best possible position for what is to come in the remainder of the year.
“It is always an honour to work with some of the biggest names in the business, and our launches so early into 2025 are a real sign of our intent for the coming 12 months. These are exciting times at Push Gaming.”
