BetWinner has entered into a partnership with ESPN’s flagship program SportsCenter, a daily national and international sporting events highlights show, to increase its footprint in Brazil.

The four-month partnership will see BetWinner’s imagery and QR code appear in the Sportscenter programs.

Gustavo Hiroshi, country manager at Betwinner in Brazil, said the deal shows how it has significantly increased its footprint in Brazil.

“We are very pleased to close an agreement with ESPN channels,” Hiroshi said. “That our brand will appear in the Sportscenter programs for a period of four months and is a reflection of our growth in Brazil.”

He added that this ongoing focus on Brazil will also see the operator hire more staff to deal with the country.

“This will also be reflected in future hiring in the area of human resources to operate in the country,” Hiroshi said.

João Vaz, Director of Public Relations at Betwinner, added that the operator was looking forward to announcing further partnerships in the near future.

“Our desire is to bring entertainment to people through sport and this partnership represents Betwinner very well, as the SportsCenter dialogues with lovers of various sports. It is only the beginning of several initiatives and partnerships that we are planning for the Brazilian market,” Vaz said.

“This is all only possible thanks to the support that we have received from our Brazilian customer base,” Vaz added.

Sports betting is not yet regulated in Brazil, but the country has worked to create a framework for the vertical since 2018, when then-president Michel Temer ratified legislation that paved the way for the country’s National Congress to implement regulations.

The inaugural edition of SBC Summit Rio will see 3,000 industry professionals with a keen interest in the Brazilian market convene at the Windsor Convention and Expo Center in Rio de Janeiro from March 5 to 7.

SBC Summit Rio has answered the demands of the industry by being the first industry event to take place in Brazil in the wake of the region’s recent regulation. Serving as Brazil’s senior executive betting and gaming event, SBC Summit Rio will host key industry executives from both regional and international operators alongside affiliates, suppliers, game studios and representatives from regulators, media, sports teams and leagues.

The event will act as the ideal hub for in-depth conversations around the burgeoning Brazilian market, discussing regulatory strategies, innovative technologies and services whilst also reflecting on Brazil’s journey to regulation and exploring future trends set to evolve the dynamic Brazilian landscape.

“Brazil has caught the attention of many in the industry as a dynamic and flourishing market that holds untold possibilities and we are truly honoured to be the first industry event to be held in Brazil since its regulation,” the founder and Chief Executive Officer for SBC, Rasmus Sojmark, said. “With the regulated market still in its infancy, SBC Summit Rio will serve as a pivotal platform for all members of the industry to come together to discuss forward-thinking strategies, forge meaningful partnerships and ultimately push the market forward.”

One of the standout features of the event will be the comprehensive conference agenda, which will take place over both core days of the summit.

The Ask Me Anything – Lottery Edition keynote moderated by Ludovico Calvi, the Honorary President of the United Lotteries for Integrity in Sports (ULIS), will offer an interactive, audience-led format giving a platform to the live audience to submit their questions concerning the Brazilian market to the expert speakers.

Overall, the conference agenda will play host to 100 industry experts as they address key issues pertaining to the Brazilian market. Across the agenda, delegates can expect discussions encompassing the best strategies global operators can utilize for successful entry into the Brazilian market, the best practices for optimal CRM system implementation, optimal methods to successfully establish operator and media partnerships, successful localized marketing strategies and robust discussions on state and federal sports betting licenses.
