PRAGMATIC PLAY EXECUTIVES TAKE THEIR PLACE ON HOT 50 LIST
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, received esteemed industry recognition as two key figures within its team were included in the annual Gaming Intelligence Hot 50 list.
Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer and Julian Jarvis, Chief Executive Officer took their place on the honour roll that recognises the most talented, innovative and influential executives in the gaming industry today.
Barzely has played a major role in Pragmatic Play’s impressive growth in regulated markets in 2021. He and his highly motivated team have delivered deals with operators large and small from established European companies such as Pokerstars, 888 and Kindred to Asian-facing giants such as Mansion’s M88 and emerging operators in Africa and Latin America.
He said: “It is an honour to be on such a prestigious list – it’s a reflection of the immense effort that has gone into 2021 from myself and my team. We’re constantly striving to take us to a new level that pushes the boundaries of what an iGaming provider can deliver and I’m proud and humbled to have been recognised.”
Jarvis also deservedly takes a place on the list having leveraged his extensive legal expertise to help Pragmatic Play seamlessly make its way into numerous regulated markets globally. His ability to navigate around a myriad of compliance issues in different markets has proved crucial, maintaining and strengthening the company’s position at the fore of the industry.
“I’m delighted that my work has been recognised in this way and it’s a great end to what has been a great year for me personally and the company,” he commented. “Our widespread growth in various global markets required a well-defined strategy coupled with ruthless execution and I’m glad our plans have to come to fruition in such a satisfying way.”
Having two entries on this prestigious list highlights the excellence Pragmatic Play strives for. As shown through the commercial success of 2021, the provider possesses executives with the vision to identify exciting new opportunities and the expertise to turn them into reality.
Appearing on the Hot 50 list caps off a strong end to the year with the provider winning EGR Game of the Year, SBC Casino/Slots Developer of the Year as well awards specific to the LATAM region.

The Brazilian sports betting brand doubles down on its national presence with a humorous new campaign spotlighting customer benefits, responsible gaming, and celebrity appeal.
One of Brazil’s rising names in the online betting industry, LuckBet, has launched a new nationwide advertising campaign featuring acclaimed actor and motorsport enthusiast Caio Castro. The commercial, which blends humor with strategic brand messaging, is now airing on Globoplay and will debut on Sportv.
The witty commercial stars Caio Castro in a creative split-role talk show, where he plays both the host and the guest. While only one version of him gets to talk (the host, of course), the dialogue cleverly introduces LuckBet’s key strengths—focusing on entertainment, trust, and unique player benefits.
“Caio Castro communicates our message with natural charisma and humor, while staying aligned with our brand’s core values: entertainment, simplicity, and responsibility,” said Ivan Dutra, CEO of LuckBet. “This new commercial is fast-paced, engaging, and truly represents who we are as a company.”
LuckBet: A Responsible and Player-First Betting Platform
As the only betting operator from Mato Grosso officially listed by Brazil’s Ministry of Finance, LuckBet offers a wide range of player-centric features. These include:
-
Unlimited withdrawals
-
24/7 humanized customer support
-
Weekly cashback on losses
LuckBet’s informal, street-smart communication style—rich in slang and expressions familiar to younger audiences—helps it stand out in Brazil’s crowded iGaming market. This distinctive approach is designed to foster a more authentic connection with bettors across all touchpoints.
Celebrity-Driven Brand With Social Impact
Since its founding in 2021, LuckBet, headquartered in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, has rapidly grown its reputation through high-profile partnerships and sponsorships, including support for Cuiabá EC football club. Alongside Caio Castro, the brand also works with rapper PKFreestyle and sports journalist Isa Pagliari to broaden its appeal.
Importantly, LuckBet is a strong advocate for Responsible Gaming, offering tools such as self-exclusion, reality checks, and integrations with international support organizations like Gambling Therapy and GambleAware. The company adheres strictly to Brazil’s 2025 gambling regulations, operating transparently under newly defined federal guidelines.
