OpenBet to deliver fully compliant end-to-end betting and gaming ecosystem, including Player Account Management, BetBuilder, Responsible Gaming Technology, Geolocation Product OpenBet Locator™, and Managed Trading Services

OpenBet, a leading global provider of betting content, platforms, and services, has been selected by Bell Ventures Digital Ltd (“Company”) in Brazil to power the Company’s online betting and gaming brand. The partnership marks OpenBet’s first move to launch a betting and gaming brand in the country. In addition to providing the platform’s core technology, the Company enters the market with the BandBet brand, licensed from Grupo Bandeirantes de Comunicação (“Band”).

This landmark agreement, which has the financial advice of the Investment Banking team at BTG Pactual, the largest investment bank in Latin America, brings together two major entertainment forces to introduce BandBet, a new and innovative offering for Brazil’s regulated betting and gaming market. BandBet is currently under a soft launch period, operating on the domain www.bandbet.com, with Bell Ventures being among the authorized entities from the Ministry of Finance to operate during the transition period following the terms of ordinance 1475/24.

Band is one of the largest and most traditional and influential media conglomerates in Brazil, with a legacy spanning over 87 years. Known for its extensive network of Free to Air Television, PayTV, Radio and digital platforms (social networks, mobile app, website), Band delivers a diverse range of content, including sports, news and entertainment, reaching millions of users on a daily basis across the nation. In addition to Bell Ventures licensing the BandBet brand from Band, the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire media space from the media conglomerate.

Leveraging the licensed BandBet brand reputation linked to one of the biggest TV networks in Brazil, and OpenBet’s unparalleled expertise in betting technology and regulatory compliance, this collaboration is poised to deliver a superior betting and gaming experience for players in the region. As part of the agreement, OpenBet will supply its complete end-to-end sports betting and iGaming ecosystem inclusive of player account management, providing BandBet with the technology, content, and compliance infrastructure required to succeed in Brazil’s newly regulated market.

In addition to sports betting, OpenBet is also empowering BandBet to deliver a comprehensive iGaming experience to players. This includes a seamlessly integrated online casino, featuring a cutting-edge user interface, access to a wide variety of content from leading gaming studios, and a unified platform for managing promotions across both sports and iGaming verticals.

At the heart of the ecosystem is OpenBet’s Player Account Management platform, enabling the sports betting and iGaming verticals while supporting safe gaming practices. Central to the platform is the responsible gaming and anti-money laundering (AML) technology, powered by Neccton, ensuring BandBet upholds the highest standards of player protection. Additionally, BandBet will benefit from OpenBet Locator™, an advanced geolocation solution powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), ensuring full compliance with Brazil’s strict regulatory requirements.

This agreement highlights OpenBet’s role as the partner of choice for operators looking to succeed in Brazil’s regulated market. With more than 25 years of experience, OpenBet will deliver a scalable, localized, and modular product offering tailored to meet the specific needs of the region.

Claudio Giordani, CEO of Band, said: “For decades, Band has been synonymous with high-quality entertainment in Brazil, and our sports coverage has been a key driver of our success. We are excited that Bell Ventures decided to enter the market with a brand licensed from our media group, as Band consistently contributes to international and local companies entering Brazil’s economy.”

Ricardo Bianco Rosada, Board Member of Bell Ventures, said: “Partnering with OpenBet was a natural choice. Their unrivalled expertise in the global betting industry will ensure BandBet is built on a state-of-the-art platform. Their ‘open’ system, integrating sports and iGaming, equips us with the flexibility and tools to thrive in a regulated, competitive market while ensuring responsible growth.”

Jordan Levin, CEO of OpenBet, said: “At OpenBet, we pride ourselves on supporting leading brands with the highest standards in the industry. By leveraging our comprehensive betting ecosystem, BandBet will offer an outstanding player experience, positioning itself as a leader in Brazil’s emerging gaming space. We look forward to supporting BandBet’s growth and furthering our mission to help operators thrive in this rapidly evolving market.”

Meridianbet has successfully advanced to the next stage in Brazil’s exclusive sports betting and iGaming licensing process. The company is one of only 89 operators (from over 600 initial applicants) shortlisted at the federal level by the Brazilian Ministry of Finance. This shortlist grants operators permission to continue offering sports betting and iGaming services nationwide during the adaptation period, which runs until December 31, 2024.
This important step places Meridianbet among an elite group of global operators as Brazil approaches the launch of one of the most highly anticipated gaming markets in the world. With non-listed companies set to be prohibited from offering services starting October 11, 2024, inclusion on this shortlist highlights Meridianbet’s technological excellence, commitment to compliance, and its focus on responsible gambling and strategic market planning.
The company’s proprietary platform, which has undergone rigorous testing, along with its comprehensive marketing strategies and responsible gambling policies, positions it as a key player in the future of Brazil’s gaming industry. The application covers both sports betting and iGaming (online casino) under Brazil’s licensing regime, allowing Meridianbet to provide a full suite of gaming experiences to Brazilian players.
Brazil’s gambling market is forecasted to generate $34 billion in sports betting turnover by 2028, with an onshore gross win of $2.8 billion, according to a report by the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). Unlike the state-by-state regulatory approach in the U.S., this federal-level licensing will grant nationwide access, enabling the company to tap into Brazil’s rapidly growing market and diverse player base.
As part of the Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), Meridianbet is leveraging global expertise and proprietary technology to strengthen its position in Brazil, ensuring it remains at the forefront of this emerging market.
