The webinars will be held in English, Spanish and Portuguese to cater to the needs of a global audience, with the presentations followed by a question-and-answer session.

After becoming one of the first B2B suppliers to get their sportsbook solution successfully GLI-certified for Brazil, Delasport has now achieved compliance with the requirements of SIGAP regarding its iGaming platform.
Obtaining the required GLI certifications and the integration with the Brazilian DataVault through SIGAP’s official API means that the solution is fully ready to dive headfirst into the market.
The certifications granted by Gaming Labs International to Delasport include the required set of approvals: the technical certificates for Betting System, Sports Betting Server (Sportsbook), a.k.a. Remote Game Server (RGS), and more.
Delasport also covers the geofencing requirements and the requirements for safer gambling monitoring and AML transaction monitoring.
Part of the implementations include an intricate system with multi-factor authentication and a modern KYC provider, meeting all requirements of the market.
Just days ago, Delasport announced its first Brazilian deal with Latam-based B2B platform provider Vibra Solutions. This is all part of the company’s global expansion strategy where Brazil and LatAm in general is a key region to get established in.
“Successfully completing this second phase of GLI certification for Brazil reinforces the trust that players and operators place in Delasport’s products”, says Filippo Ferri, Delasport’s Chief Compliance Officer. “This certification highlights our ability to uphold the highest industry standards of integrity and fairness”, he concludes.
