It’s been launched by successful international company, OGaming whose CEO Thomas Golding, said: “As a market Brazil has huge potential.

“BetGold is a user-friendly platform built on state-of-the-art technology to meet the specific needs of the market. It ensures players will find the software and payment processes easy to use – and most importantly, it is exciting and fun.

“Through RioAposta we learned a lot about the local markets, partners and customers meaning that through BetGold We can offer the perfect product to Brazilian customers regardless of their favourite team or sport.
“To ensure the new brand really connects with sport fans we’ve also invested in other marketing opportunities that are common in Europe – for example shirt sponsorship.
“We are pleased to say Brazilian teams Santo André and Bovista, from Rio de Janeiro, now have our logo proudly emblazoned on their shirts, promoting BetGold and showing our true commitment to grassroots sports in Brazil,” said Thomas.

Novusbet and TeApuesto scale omnichannel betting in Peru with 1,300-shop network
Novusbet and Peruvian operator TeApuesto are expanding a large-scale omnichannel betting operation in Peru, Novusbet said on 11 June 2026 in a release from Nicosia, Cyprus. The supplier said the deployment links a retail network of more than 1,300 shops—each with at least two terminals—to online, mobile, self-service terminals and back-office operations.
Novusbet said the TeApuesto operation processes more than 3 million sports and virtual tickets every month. The company positioned the project as an example of growing convergence between retail and digital betting in Peru, where shops remain central but customer expectations are shifting toward faster access, mobile use and digital payment options.
According to Novusbet, the focus is “not only about allowing players to access the same brand through different channels” but “creating continuity across the full player journey: from registration and betting activity to payments, ticket management, account interaction, information access and customer support.”
The company also pointed to local payment habits as a driver for product development, citing mobile money transfer services Yape and Plin as widely used in Peru. Novusbet said it has enhanced self-service and “omniconnected solutions” with payment options aligned with local usage patterns.
Novusbet said it will exhibit at Peru Gaming Show 2026 on June 17–18 at the Centro de Exposiciones Jockey in Lima.

Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming Appoints Carlos Lima as its New Executive President
The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has appointed Carlos Lima as its new Executive President. With extensive experience in Government Relations, Advocacy, and public policy development, the executive takes the helm of the organization at a pivotal moment for the consolidation of Brazil’s regulated fixed-odds betting and online gaming market.
As head of the Institute, Carlos Lima will be responsible for strengthening technical and institutional dialogue with the Federal Government, the National Congress, regulatory authorities, and civil society. His work will focus on improving the regulated environment and promoting the value of authorized operators that conduct their activities in compliance with Brazilian law.
“The maturation of Brazil’s betting market requires an approach grounded in data, transparency, governance, and legal certainty. The regulated environment is the most effective tool for ensuring consumer protection, preserving the integrity of the sector, and fostering its sustainable development,” said Carlos Lima.
According to the new Executive President, regulation represents a fundamental milestone in distinguishing authorized and supervised operators from illegal platforms that operate outside the law.
“Regulation serves as a seal of security for consumers and a benefit to society as a whole. By establishing clear rules, user protection mechanisms, and responsible gaming policies, it reduces the social and economic costs associated with the illegal market. Strengthening the regulated market means protecting citizens, creating jobs, attracting investment, and increasing public revenues,” he added.
Throughout his professional career, Carlos Lima has led strategic initiatives related to institutional relations, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and sector-specific regulation in industries of significant economic and social relevance. His experience includes fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors on complex issues, always with a focus on building regulatory environments that are more transparent, predictable, and sustainable.
André Gelfi, co-founder of IBJR and one of the leading figures behind the regulatory process for the sector in Brazil, will continue to support the organization as a Board Member and Director. In this role, he will contribute to the continuity of the Institute’s institutional agenda and to the strengthening of the regulated market alongside the other members of the board.
Founded to promote a safe, responsible betting market aligned with international best practices, IBJR brings together some of the leading companies authorized to operate in Brazil. The Institute remains committed to safeguarding industry integrity, protecting consumers, and supporting the sustainable development of the sector across the country.
