Platform pioneer unlocks one of the world’s most dynamic iGaming markets, offering operators and providers a seamless, compliant gateway to millions of new players.

Groove, the award-winning iGaming aggregation platform, has today announced a monumental leap in its global expansion strategy with the official granting of its license to operate in Brazil.

This landmark regulatory approval marks a decisive moment in Groove’s strategic blueprint for Latin America, a vision further reinforced by the significant strengthening of its established and fully regulated infrastructure in Argentina. Together, these developments create an unrivalled dual-hub strategy, positioning Groove as the definitive gateway to the continent.

This hard-won license provides a fully compliant and powerful conduit for Groove’s partners to engage a market on the cusp of historic growth. For operators, it translates to a frictionless, single-integration pathway for capturing market share in this coveted region. They can now leverage Groove’s robust platform to deploy a fully localised and compliant casino offering at unparalleled speed, complete with curated game portfolios tailored to local preferences, integrated local payment processing, and bespoke marketing tools designed to captivate Latin American players. This eliminates years of complex regulatory legwork, allowing partners to go to market in a matter of weeks, not years.

For game studios and content providers, the Brazilian license acts as a direct and streamlined conduit to a vast new audience. Groove offers a managed route to market, taking on the heavy burden of complex regulatory technical standards and certification processes. This allows creators to focus on their core mission of developing world-class entertainment, secure in the knowledge that their content will be efficiently placed in front of a massive, engaged audience through a trusted and fully compliant pipeline.

Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove, emphasised the transformative nature of this development. “The green light in Brazil is more than a license; it’s a key that unlocks a kingdom of opportunity for our partners. We’ve built a platform capable of not just entering, but driving in regulated markets.”

Tourgeman put the new license in perspective, saying: “Operators can now immediately tap into Brazil’s immense potential, while providers gain a trusted pipeline to a passionate new player base. This is a definitive moment that accelerates the entire LATAM iGaming ecosystem.”

This strategic expansion is a direct reflection of Groove’s commitment to being the most reliable and agile aggregation partner in the world’s most promising emerging markets. With over 20,000 games available and a raft of over 150 games partners, Groove brings unrivalled choice to the Brazilian market.

Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, commented, “Our vision has always been to build the bridges that connect great content with passionate players, wherever they are. Securing our Brazilian license and reinforcing our Argentine operations is a testament to our team’s relentless execution and our long-term commitment to LATAM.”

Meltzer concluded: “We are not just following trends; we are actively architecting the future of iGaming in the region, providing a secure, scalable, and sophisticated platform for our partners to grow with us. The door to Latin America is now open, and Groove is the key.”

Betano owner repeats wins for Sportsbook Operator of the Year and Casino Operator of the Year at the Fort Lauderdale ceremony on 10 June.

Kaizen Gaming has won both “Sportsbook Operator of the Year – Latin America” and “Casino Operator of the Year – Latin America” at the SBC Awards Americas 2026, repeating the double from last year. The ceremony was held on Wednesday, 10 June, during SBC Summit Americas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The operator, which owns the Betano online sports betting and gaming brand, said the awards reflect its continued performance across Latin America. The company positioned Betano as a leading regional brand, citing market presence in Brazil and other South American markets including Argentina and Peru.

Christos Tzalavras, Kaizen Gaming’s Chief Product Officer, said: “We are very happy about this distinction, especially since it recognizes our focus on providing our customers with the best possible experience, both through our Sportsbook and our Casino offerings. And of course, it’s equally important that these awards concern the Latin American region, which has totally embraced us and to which we owe a large part of our success. With the World Cup now upon us, South America is a hugely strategic region for the industry, and we remain committed to setting new standards for innovation, trust, and customer experience.”

In the same announcement, Kaizen Gaming pointed to its sports marketing footprint in the region and wider international visibility ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Betano has been named an Official Tournament Supporter for Europe and South America, and has also been announced as an Official Regional Sponsor of the Argentine National Football Team. The company is also an Official Partner of CONMEBOL, with the partnership beginning around CONMEBOL Copa America2024 and continuing into subsequent competitions.

Kaizen Gaming also highlighted a recent acquisition aimed at product development. Earlier this year, it acquired GameplAI, a provider of AI-powered sports trading and analytics, which Kaizen said will be integrated into Betano to enhance sports trading, player markets and performance analytics.
