Maverick game studio to make Brazil debut via PlayUZU.br and BacanaPlay.br

Award-winning game studio Peter & Sons is about to make waves in the freshly regulated Brazilian market. The innovative iGaming content creator’s unique portfolio went live in Brazil from 1st January 2025 via PlayUZU.br and BacanaPlay.br.

Global entertainment giant SkillOnNet recently announced it had been awarded a license to operate in the Brazilian market, which is quickly expected to become one of the biggest in the world.

Barcelona-based Peter & Sons has already made significant inroads into Latin America, having recently debuted in Mexico, Peru, and Buenos Aires City in Argentina.

But Brazil will allow the studio to showcase its groundbreaking content to a truly massive new audience. Peter & Sons games are known for their rich storytelling, humour and unique artistic vision. Packed with fascinating themes, surprising mechanics, and glorious weirdness, they are designed to embody the ‘anti-boring’, according to the company.

Brazilian players will soon be able to sink their teeth into hit games like Barbarossa, Xibalba, Wild 1 and Voodoo Hex, as well as brand new titles like Barbarossa Revenge, Muddy Waters, and Greedy Alice.

All content will be specially localized to the new market through two Portuguese-language, Brazil-focused platforms.

Yann Bautista, Commercial Director and Founder at Peter & Sons said: “While 2024 was a huge year for our global expansion, 2025 could prove to be the biggest yet, as we become an early entrant into this huge new market. Since our 2019 foundation, we have poured all our energy, hard work and inspiration into our games, and it’s truly exciting that our content reaches the massive audience that it does today.”    

Pedro Garcia, Country Manager at BacanaPlay said: “We’re super-bullish about the Brazilian market, which has been projected by analysts to be worth almost $6.3bn by 2028. And we project that the addition of Peter & Sons’ cutting-edge portfolio will go down a storm with Brazilian players at PlayUZU.br and BacanaPlay.br.”

SCCG Management, a global leader in gaming advisory and sponsorship development, has announced a strategic partnership with SFT Combat, Brazil’s premier mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, to facilitate betting sponsorship opportunities within Brazil’s rapidly growing sports betting market.

SFT Combat has redefined the landscape of combat sports in Brazil, boasting the largest roster of top-ranked national fighters and an unmatched commitment to fair, balanced matchups. The promotion stands as the only combat sports event in Brazil to air the entire fight card on free-to-air network television, providing unparalleled continuity and exposure. This approach allows fans to follow fighters’ careers from their early bouts to championship moments, creating deep connections with the athletes and elevating the sport’s reach.

With over 160 fights broadcasted, 77 hours of televised content, and a nationwide audience that has averaged 1.4 million weekly viewers—peaking at 2.5 million—all in 2024, SFT Combat has solidified itself as a dominant force in Brazilian sports entertainment. It has also introduced a new level of high-intensity combat with SFT Xtreme, a striking-only discipline featuring 100% stand-up action with no wrestling or ground fighting, which has quickly become a fan favorite. Some believe its adrenaline-fueled format has the potential to surpass MMA in mainstream popularity.

Through this partnership, SCCG Management will leverage its expertise in the Brazilian gaming market to connect SFT Combat with leading sports betting operators and brands. SCCG has a proven track record of securing high-impact sponsorship deals across sports, with partnerships that include the Cincinnati Bengals, Colorado Rockies, Hendrick Motorsports, and Pillow Fight Championship. By tapping into SCCG’s global network and industry expertise, this collaboration will drive new revenue opportunities and enhance the commercial appeal of combat sports in Brazil.

Our partnership with SFT Combat allows us to bring top-tier betting brands into this thriving ecosystem while ensuring sponsorships are strategically aligned with the promotion’s elite-level competition and massive television audience. SCCG specializes in securing the right partners for the right opportunities, and we’re thrilled to help drive SFT Combat’s sponsorship growth in the gaming sector.”

David Hudson, President of SFT Combat, commented: “I am absolutely thrilled about this groundbreaking partnership! Brazil isn’t just a country—it’s the powerhouse exporting the finest MMA talent outside the US. With a roster of world-class fighters, our nation is uniquely positioned to host events that captivate the global stage. This alliance is a pivotal step, one that will not only showcase our unmatched talent but also propel us towards creating truly world-class events. Together, we’re redefining the future of combat sports!”

SFT Combat has thrived under David Hudson’s leadership for the past six years, during which he has transformed the promotion into a media powerhouse. Before assuming the presidency, Hudson honed his craft at Swen Group, SFT’s parent company, where he earned accolades as an award-winning producer in film and video production. His innovative approach and entertainment-driven vision have reshaped the spectacle of combat sports, setting SFT apart from traditional fight promotions.

SCCG Management brings unparalleled experience in navigating regulatory landscapes, structuring high-value sponsorship agreements, and maximizing brand exposure for sports properties. Through this collaboration, SCCG will support SFT Combat in identifying and securing sponsorships that align with its brand, determining the value of key sponsorship assets, and developing long-term strategic partnerships that go beyond traditional sponsorships to include co-development and revenue-sharing opportunities. As the Brazilian sports betting market continues to expand, this partnership positions SFT Combat as a premier platform for operators looking to engage with one of the country’s most passionate fan bases.
