SA Gaming, a leading Live Game Solution provider offering premium online entertainment, has announced that its game portfolio and Remote Gaming Server (RGS) have officially obtained Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) certifications in Brazil.

This milestone underscores SA Gaming’s commitment to delivering premium gaming experiences, with a particular focus on the Brazilian market.

A company representative said: “We will continue to strive for excellence, and to show our commitment to compliance and delivering tailored Live Game solutions.”

The regulated Brazilian online gaming market, which launched on January 1, 2025, is projected to become the largest in Latin America. Under the new framework, only licensed operators are legally permitted to offer online gaming and betting services.

Internal training and strong compliance are the foundation for protecting bettors and meeting new requirements under Brazil’s gambling regulations

Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil, the company behind the Esportes da Sorte and Onabet platforms, is taking a proactive approach to player protection by embedding responsible gaming into its organisational DNA.

A strong internal culture focused on physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing, open dialogue around diversity, and hiring practices rooted in collaboration, customer focus, and ethics all lay the groundwork for an environment where protecting players is second nature.

In June, 600 employees took part in the immersive program “Learn to Protect.” Over three days of workshops led by the Instituto de Apoio ao Apostador (IAA) and the Empresa Brasileira de Apoio ao Compulsivo (EBAC), the team simulated real cases, learned to recognise signs of risk, and adopted international support protocols. The content has since become mandatory e-learning, with refreshers every six months.

The Brazilian betting market, which already moves over R$12 billion a year according to estimates from the Ministry of Finance, is undergoing its first full regulatory cycle. The new law requires each licensed operator to demonstrate preventive actions against gambling addiction, support channels, and self-exclusion mechanisms.

Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil has further strengthened its Responsible Gaming commitment with the appointment of new manager Ana Carolina Luna Maçães. In addition, the group launched a Code of Ethics and Conduct outlining five core principles — integrity, respect for people, privacy, responsible gaming, and compliance — which apply to employees, suppliers, and partners.

Technology is crucial in supporting this layer of protection by identifying issues before they occur. Machine learning models monitor dozens of behavioural variables (bet value, frequency and time, session duration), and when risk is detected, they trigger conscious gambling alerts, offering instant deposit limits or self-exclusion options. Monthly reports are sent to the Compliance team for ongoing audit and review. High-risk alerts are individually handled by a support team trained in active listening to better engage with users.

Over the past two months, the group hosted the Match-Fixing Prevention Forum for clubs including Náutico, Ceará, and Corinthians, equipping athletes and coaching staff with training in sports integrity.

Hugo Baungartner, Director of Institutional Relations and Partnerships at Esportes Gaming Brasil, said: “Promoting responsible gaming internally is the first step toward bringing education, protection, and transparency to the market. When our team is prepared, we can share that knowledge outward and protect those who bet. With a strong culture, rigorous compliance, and continuous education, we aim to give increasing visibility to a culture of Responsible Gaming.”
