Meridianbet Partners with Integrity Compliance 360 for Upcoming Brazilian Market Entry
Meridianbet, part of the Golden Matrix Group, Inc., a leading online sports betting and iGaming company, has announced a strategic partnership with Integrity Compliance 360 (“IC360”), a prominent U.S.-based global sports integrity service provider.
The partnership comes as Meridianbet’s Brazilian subsidiary, Meridian Gaming Brasil SPE, progresses in the licensing process for its entry into the Brazilian market, and will reinforce the Company’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity for its sports offering in line with global regulatory expectations and market best practices.
The license application, filed under request number 56.195.600/0001-07, positions Meridianbet among a select group of global operators set to participate in one of the most highly anticipated market launches in the global sports betting and iGaming industry.
“Our partnership with IC360 underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest levels of integrity and transparency in all markets we operate in, including Brazil,” said Zoran Milosevic, CEO of Meridianbet. “As we move closer to securing our license, this collaboration will ensure that we are fully equipped to meet the expectations of both regulatory bodies and our players in the world’s fastest-growing emerging betting and iGaming market.”
“Brazil is expected to become the third-largest gaming market in the world, and this opportunity marks another key milestone for Golden Matrix, and further endorses our commitment to being a major player in the Brazilian Gaming Market” said Brian Goodman, CEO of Golden Matrix Group. “Brazil’s multifaceted approval process reflects the complexity and scale of this market, and we are excited about the tremendous potential that lies ahead. We aim to leverage our extensive international experience, advanced technology and innovative betting solutions to cater to the unique preferences of Brazilian customers, and our partnership with IC360 will help ensure we’re doing it both ethically and responsibly.”
“Meridianbet is one of the best-positioned players in the Brazilian sports betting market,” said Scott Sadin, COO of IC360. “We are excited to work with the experts of the local market who understand the importance of integrity. It is our privilege to provide them with the tools needed to create an even stronger culture of transparency, that together can be modeled and shared with Meridianbet’s international reach.”
Meridianbet’s partnership with IC360 comes at a critical time for the Brazilian market, as it undergoes regulatory transformation and positions itself as a global leader in the iGaming and sports betting industry.
Meridianbet’s application includes both sports betting and iGaming (online casino) under Brazil’s comprehensive licensing regime, positioning it as one of the few operators able to offer a full suite of gaming experiences to Brazilian players.
The Brazilian gambling industry is projected 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).
Superbet CEO Alexandre Fonseca has been included in the global ranking “Game Changers: Top 100 most influential people in iGaming 2026,” with the company stating he is the only Brazilian executive featured on the list.
Fonseca linked the recognition to the development of Brazil’s newly regulated betting market. “This is the result of a journey that began back in 2007. Today, we see the sector consolidating itself as an economic pillar which, in its very first regulated year in 2025, generated BRL 37 billion in volume and BRL 10 billion in federal taxes,” he highlights.
The executive also pointed to the role of governance and compliance as the market scales. “Our role now is to ensure this growth continues to be guided by legal and tax certainty. At Superbet, player protection and user experience are not just rhetoric, but technology applied in real-time.”
According to the press release, the Game Changers list is an annual ranking that selects impactful leaders, professionals and regulators in the global online gaming industry, based on criteria including innovation and market relevance.
For operators and suppliers tracking Latin America, the inclusion underscores the growing prominence of Brazil’s regulated online betting sector as it attracts international attention and investment focus.

Esportes Gaming Brasil director Hugo Baungartner used a panel appearance at BiS Brasília (Brazilian iGaming Summit) to argue that sports and cultural sponsorships should be measured by their long-term impact, not just brand visibility. Baungartner spoke during the session “A Importância dos Patrocínios e das Leis de Incentivo para a Sustentabilidade do Esporte e da Cultura.”
During the debate, Baungartner said sector maturity requires a long-term approach that turns sponsorships into platforms for relationship-building and local ecosystem development, connecting with fans, consumers and communities.
He highlighted the group’s sports partnerships with Corinthians, Ceará, Náutico and Ferroviária, as well as support for Brazilian cultural events including Carnaval, São João and the Festival de Parintins. Baungartner said major events can move entire supply chains by boosting tourism, commerce and job opportunities, and pointed to the importance of working with local suppliers and professionals in Parintins to expand the positive impacts of sponsorship spending.
Baungartner also addressed challenges in Brazil’s regulated betting market, saying consolidation depends on governance, integrity and consumer protection, alongside efforts to combat illegal operators. He said advances in provider regulation and stronger financial traceability mechanisms are important steps to limit unauthorized activity and improve user security.
“Patrocínio responsável é aquele que cria conexão real com o público e deixa legado no território. No esporte e na cultura, isso significa investir com governança, transparência e propósito, fortalecendo um ecossistema que gera renda, emprego e oportunidades”, afirmou.
