IBJR: Crackdown on Illegal Betting Critical to Success of Desenrola 2.0
The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has warned that the effectiveness of the financial protection measures included in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a strict crackdown on the illegal betting market.
In 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for only 0.46% of household consumption in the country — an extremely small share of the average Brazilian family budget — according to data from a study conducted by LCA Consultoria. This reinforces that the main driver of household indebtedness in Brazil continues to be the high cost of credit.
The IBJR emphasized that restricting access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to illegal platforms, which already handle around R$40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.
Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators — often linked to organized crime — from taking advantage of restriction windows to attract vulnerable consumers. This concern is heightened by the proximity of the FIFA World Cup, a period that naturally increases the volume of sports betting activity, as well as by the potential loss of R$10.8 billion in tax revenue if consumption shifts to the underground market.
IBJR reiterates that real consumer protection and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector. The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, the strengthening of responsible gaming practices, and a strategic offensive against illegal websites, ensuring that entertainment takes place exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly regulated ecosystem.

Massive Gaming launches Blitzcrown titles on Superbet Brazil via Bragg Hub
Massive Gaming (MVG) has gone live with Superbet Brazil, launching a selection of Blitzcrown studio titles via the Bragg hub game aggregation platform.
The initial rollout includes eight games from Blitzcrown, which focuses on non-traditional casino formats. Titles available at launch include Boom Boom Hit Plinko, Snowball Plinko, Fast Crash, and Dragon & Wizard.
The content is delivered through bragg hub, using Bragg Gaming Group’s existing aggregation relationship with Superbet in Brazil. The companies noted that Superbet secured a regulated licence ahead of the market’s January 2025 launch.
Blitzcrown’s instant-win games previously secured Brazil RGS, RNG, and individual game certifications from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI).
George Cho, Director at Massive Gaming, said: “Going live on Superbet Brazil is a landmark moment for Massive Gaming, and for Blitzcrown as a studio. Brazil is one of the most exciting regulated markets in the world, and being able to bring our content to Superbet’s players through Bragg’s platform is a testament to both the quality of our games, and the strength of these partnerships. We look forward to expanding our presence in the market as we continue to grow our portfolio.”
Hristofor Hristov, Commercial Director Aggregation at bragg, commented:
“We are thrilled to facilitate this exciting launch between Massive Gaming and Superbet in Brazil. Our bragg hub platform is specifically engineered to seamlessly deliver high-performing, localized content to major operators. Blitzcrown’s certified instant-win and non-traditional games are a perfect fit for the dynamic Brazilian audience, and this rollout underscores our commitment to fueling our partners’ growth in one of the world’s most vibrant regulated markets.”

7Games
FIRST.bet Launches Sportsbook with Brazil’s Biggest Online Casino Operator
7Games partners with FIRST.bet to deliver Tier-1 sportsbook technology to one of Brazil’s largest casino operators.
7Games, Betão, and R7—brands managed by OIG Gaming Brazil Ltda. and recognized as key players in Brazil’s casino-led betting market—have launched a comprehensive sportsbook platform powered by FIRST.bet’s leading Tier-1 technology.
As one of Brazil’s most prominent casino operators, OIG Gaming Brazil Ltda. opted for FIRST.bet to seamlessly expand its reach into the sports betting sector across its trio of brands. This partnership underscores the scalability and robustness of FIRST.bet, demonstrating its capacity to support large-scale, multi-brand ecosystems in the competitive Brazilian market.
Leveraging FIRST.bet’s SportOS operating system, 7Games developed a customized sportsbook front end tailored to its unique branding and user experience. While players interact with a platform fully reflective of 7Games’ identity—from design to functionality—the underlying engine driving trading, pricing, live markets, and overall performance is powered by FIRST.bet.
As a casino-first operator venturing into sports betting, 7Games required a sportsbook solution aligning directly with the nuances of the Brazilian market. FIRST.bet delivered exactly that: a product optimized for Brazil, complete with Brazilian-Portuguese language capabilities, odds models tailored for national leagues, and high-performance live betting, trading, and risk management systems to meet the demands of a competitive scale.
“Brazil isn’t a market where you can afford slow growth—your product must hit the ground running,” explained Fernando Oliveira Lima, Founder and CEO of 7Games. “FIRST.bet provided us with a solution already optimized for this market, allowing us to concentrate on serving our players rather than troubleshooting underlying technology.”
Echoing this sentiment, Tom Light, Founder and CEO of FIRST.bet, added, “Success in Brazil hinges on getting the product right from day one. Operators who fail to meet those expectations are quickly left behind. With 7Games already commanding significant casino traffic, they now have a sportsbook designed to handle that scale. It’s their unique brand experience backed by an engine built for top-tier performance, which is exactly why we developed SportOS.”

7Games
7Games, Betão & R7 Launch FIRST.bet Sportsbook in Brazil
7Games selects FIRST.bet to bring Tier-1 sportsbook technology to one of the biggest casino operators in Brazil.
7Games, Betão and R7, three brands operated by OIG Gaming Brazil Ltda. and among Brazil’s largest casino-led betting brands, have gone live with a full sportsbook powered by Tier-1 technology from FIRST.bet.
Already among Brazil’s biggest casino operators, OIG chose FIRST.bet to power the move into sports across all three brands, proving the engine reaches Brazil-scale operators running multiple brands at once.
7Games built its own sportsbook front end on SportOS, the FIRST.bet operating system, with the FIRST.bet engine running underneath. Players see a sportsbook that is entirely 7Games, its brand, its design, its experience, while the trading, pricing, live markets and performance come from FIRST.bet.
7Games is a casino-led brand moving into sports, so it needed a sportsbook that already fits Brazil, not one it would have to adapt. FIRST.bet ships that out of the box: a Brazilian-Portuguese product, odds models tuned to the Brazilian leagues, and the live betting, trading and risk management needed to compete at national scale.
“Brazil is not a market you can grow into slowly. The product has to work from day one,” said Fernando Oliveira Lima, Founder and CEO of 7Games. “FIRST.bet gave us a sportsbook that already fits this market, so we could focus on our players instead of fixing the technology underneath them.”
“Brazil rewards operators who get the product right and punishes the ones who don’t,” said Tom Light, Founder and CEO of FIRST.bet. “7Games already commands serious traffic on the casino side. Now they have a sportsbook built to hold up under that kind of pressure, on their own front-end, running on our engine. That is exactly what SportOS was built for.”
