New Fujitsu Portal Creates Real-time as-a-Service Neural Center for Online Gambling Industry Customers
Fujitsu today announces its new uSCALE Customer Success Portal, offering customers in the global online gambling industry an unparalleled experience in seamlessly handling, analyzing and optimizing infrastructures.
The new portal allows online gambling operators and supplier to have visibility on system consumption data, order tracking, capacity management and forecast insights to fully utilize consumption-based, as-a-service resources. This fosters transparent cost structures, delivers effective expense monitoring and safeguards against unexpected cost escalations.
For enterprise users moving to cloud-based and managed infrastructure, retaining control over systems is a key priority. Although the apparent keen pricing of public cloud services attracts users, concerns remain around privacy, security and governance, especially among businesses operating in the online gambling space.
Enterprises also know that cloud-based services can lead to unpredictable expenses without strict management. Consequently, many enterprises are exploring alternatives where these risks can be more readily managed – especially on-premises, as-a-service consumption-based solutions.
Fujitsu’s uSCALE Customer Success Portal provides direct access to all relevant information about an organization’s uSCALE Service – cost, capacity and consumption across their data centers. This means better control and prediction of expenses and performance, with flexible scaling options to adapt to varying demands.
The centralized portal provides the data organizations need to make faster and smarter IT decisions, visibility over uSCALE-related expenses with on-demand access to billing and invoicing details and direct link to the dedicated Customer Success Manager.
The customer experience is enhanced substantially as all key information is just a click away, unnecessary costs minimized, and efficiency increased. Enterprises also gain a clear picture of organizational IT infrastructures and workloads. This assists in agile decision-making, with organizations empowered to adapt swiftly to market shifts, technological advances, and potential operational risks.
Nick McDonald, Senior Account Director at Fujitsu said: “With this new portal customers get clear visibility of what infrastructure they have, what they are using and what it’s costing, Basically Cloud like consumption on their own private infrastructure added to this customers don’t need any large capital outlays for infrastructure refreshes as well as helping to add to their sustainability goals by only buying and using the Infrastructure they need from the outset.”
The Fujitsu uSCALE Customer Success Portal is now available free to Fujitsu uSCALE customers in the UK, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
This complements the solutions and services Fijitsu offers to organizations in the online gambling sector, including hybrid cloud enablement, data center infrastructure, hyper-converged infrastructure, servers and storage global delivery and support of IT infrastructure plus AI workshops and enablement.

Brazilian Carnival
Esportes da Sorte transforms Carnival 2026 into a nationwide immersive experience
Leading Brazilian iGaming company Esportes da Sorte has transformed Carnival 2026 into a nationwide immersive experience, activating urban art installations, hydration stations and large‑scale attractions across nine cities in Brazil. As part of its expanded cultural engagement strategy, the brand is serving as an official sponsor in key Carnival locations and delivering experiential initiatives designed for revelers in the streets and major public spaces.
Esportes da Sorte’s nationwide platform builds on its history of investing in popular culture and public events, moving beyond traditional branding to create meaningful on‑site activations that enhance the urban environment and respond to the unique character of each city’s Carnival celebrations.
In Rio de Janeiro, the company’s efforts focus on the street Carnival experience with hydration points, cool zones and shaded areas in high‑traffic celebration routes. São Paulo’s megabloc circuits feature water trucks, hydration stations and on‑site urban support.
In Recife Antigo, one of Carnival’s cultural centers, Esportes da Sorte installed a standout Ferris wheel at Marco Zero, offering panoramic views of the festivities and historic landscape. Urban transformations like video mapping on iconic buildings and aerial installations along Rua Marquês de Olinda further blend public space with the Carnival experience.
Other cities such as Olinda and Salvador also feature tailored activations, including sensory design, refreshment tunnels and themed artistic displays that align with local traditions and festival dynamics.
In addition to physical structures, the initiative includes a robust communications strategy, sensory activations, public well‑being supports and content campaigns that amplify the carnival‑street experience across digital and traditional media.
According to Germana Casal, Production Coordinator at the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, the goal is to “be present in a meaningful way at the country’s biggest popular celebration,” respecting each city’s identity and delivering initiatives that improve the Carnival experience for participants.
Esportes da Sorte’s Carnival 2026 project builds on the brand’s presence at more than 100 Carnival parties and street blocos in 2025, reinforcing its leadership role in Brazil’s largest cultural event and deepening its connection with urban celebration culture nationwide.
