A Betshield anunciou a chegada de Amilton Noble como Advisory Partner. O executivo passa a integrar o núcleo estratégico da companhia em um momento de maior exigência operacional para operadores licenciados no mercado brasileiro de apostas.

A movimentação ocorre em paralelo a uma mudança relevante na forma como o setor vem sendo avaliado. Além do acompanhamento regulatório, decisões judiciais recentes passaram a considerar não apenas a existência de políticas formais de proteção ao usuário, mas a capacidade das plataformas de demonstrar monitoramento contínuo e atuação preventiva diante de comportamentos de risco.

A Evolução para o Conceito de “Trust & Protection”

Reconhecida por sua atuação pioneira em tecnologia de Jogo Responsável, a Betshield acompanha essa evolução ampliando sua presença dentro das operações de iGaming. A empresa passa a estruturar sua proposta como uma camada permanente de confiança e proteção operacional, incorporando:

  • Gestão de risco.

  • Controles internos.

  • Capacidade de comprovação de diligência.

Liderança e Experiência

Amilton Noble possui trajetória consolidada na indústria de jogos, loterias e iGaming. Como Advisory Partner, contribuirá para o posicionamento institucional da empresa e para a consolidação de práticas operacionais mais estruturadas no ambiente regulado. Para Noble, o setor entra em uma nova etapa de maturidade:

“A maturidade do mercado passa pela capacidade de demonstrar diligência. Não é apenas uma discussão sobre licença, mas sobre responsabilidade operacional. O operador precisará apresentar evidências de acompanhamento e atuação preventiva. A tecnologia passa a ser parte da proteção da própria empresa.”

Um Novo Posicionamento de Mercado

Thiago Iusim, fundador e CEO da Betshield, afirma que o momento representa uma evolução de posicionamento:

“O Jogo Responsável sempre foi o nosso ponto de partida. Mas percebemos cedo que era necessário ir além da funcionalidade isolada. O mercado passou a exigir capacidade de demonstrar diligência operacional. Estruturamos o conceito de Trust & Protection: uma camada permanente entre operador, regulador e usuário.”

A tecnologia da Betshield realiza monitoramento contínuo de comportamento, identifica padrões de risco e gera histórico documentado de atuação preventiva. A plataforma também incorporou um módulo de prevenção à lavagem de dinheiro (PLD), ampliando o escopo de proteção.

Recentemente, a Betshield também anunciou uma parceria estratégica com a CGS Events, colocando a proteção do jogador como tema central da agenda de eventos em 2026.

ELA Games’ Tea Party of Fortune has been shortlisted for Slot Newcomer of the Year at the SiGMA Africa Awards 2026, highlighting the studio’s flair for narrative-driven design as the iGaming community prepares to convene at the Grand Arena in Cape Town this March.

Tea Party of Fortune earned its nomination thanks to its distinctive artistic style and multi-layered approach to the Hold & Win category. The slot moves beyond conventional static gameplay, featuring the “Overflowing Teacup” progression that builds anticipation during each spin.
