Award-winning software studio teams up with industry’s leading iGaming aggregator to distribute popular Premium and Select games across regulated markets worldwide

Having already gone from strength to strength in 2022, sought-after software providers, Swintt, has secured another major triumph this month with the announcement that their popular Premium and Select titles will now be made available through Pariplay’s Fusion^® Aggregation Platform.

Taking more than €1bn in monthly bets across 14,000+ titles in over 20 regulated markets worldwide, Pariplay is the #1 aggregator and content provider in the iGaming industry, so the news is hugely significant for Swintt as they build on the impressive growth they’ve shown throughout the year.

As part of the new arrangement, Pariplay®-powered online operators will now be able to share some of Swintt’s most successful releases with their customers, with a number of titles from both the Swintt Premium and Swintt Select collections ensuring that all preferences and playing styles are catered for.

With the former category combining the iconic symbols and sounds players know and love from land-based slot machines with modern gameplay and features, available Premium slots on Fusion^® aggregation platform include Cleopatras Diamonds, Extra Win X and the myth and magic-themed Master of Books.

All three of these titles include easy-to-trigger bonus rounds, with Extra Win X boasting a special multiplier wheel that can pay out big wins of up to 800x players’ stake and both Cleopatras Diamonds and Master of Books offering Swintt’s signature Free Spins feature with random expanding symbols. Swintt Select games, meanwhile, are aimed at the video slot player that appreciates innovative features in the titles like the ground-breaking Aloha Spirit XtraLock^TM providing customers with unique bonus rounds they simply won’t find anywhere else.

This popular Hawaiian-themed game – along with the recently-released Monster Disco XtraHold^TM – are now representing Swintt’s pioneering “Xtra” series of games on the Pariplay platform, while fans of blockbuster-style action and entertainment can also get both via The Crown starring Vinnie Jones.

The first Swintt title to include a celebrity endorsement, The Crown features a leading role for the former footballer-turned-actor and philanthropist and challenges players to journey around four base game locations as they assemble a crew and plan out a daring heist on London’s most famous jewels.

Given the great variety among the Swintt slots that are now available through Fusion^®, players in regulated markets should have no trouble at all finding a game that captures their imagination – and Swintt is looking forward to sharing its titles with anew global audience.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “At Swintt, one of our major aspirations has always been to share our award-winning collection of games with customers in as many regulated markets as possible – and through this huge new deal with Pariplay, we’ll now be able to do just that.
“Pariplay^® is one of the biggest aggregators and content providers in the industry, so teaming up with them represents another significant step for us as we look to further expand in 2022. We can’t wait to hear how players enjoy the stellar range of Swintt slots that are now available via its platform.”

Callum Harris, Director of Partnerships at Pariplay^®, said: “We are constantly adding titles from the best up-and-coming software suppliers to tour Fusion^®’s platform portfolio.
“Swintt certainly fits this description, and by teaming up with the provider, we’ll be able to bolster the incredible collection of 14,000+ games we provide to clients with the addition of some truly unique releases that offer exciting themes and innovative features they won’t be able to find anywhere else.”

SCCG Management Launches Dedicated SCCG Brazil Division with Local Partner Thomas Carvalhaes

New entity positions SCCG to serve international operators, investors, and technology providers entering Latin America’s largest regulated gaming market.

SCCG Management announces the formation of SCCG Brazil, a dedicated advisory entity built to serve the Brazilian gaming and iGaming market. The new division is led jointly by SCCG founder Stephen A. Crystal and Thomas Carvalhaes, a veteran of Brazil’s gaming ecosystem, who joins as Partner and co-manager of the operation.

The launch follows SCCG’s May 2026 establishment of its broader Latin American division and Miami office, which anchored the firm’s expanded presence across Spanish-speaking markets. Brazil, with its distinct regulatory framework, Portuguese-language market, and scale, has always warranted a dedicated approach. SCCG Brazil is that approach.

Why Brazil, why now

Brazil’s newly regulated gaming market is now the largest in Latin America and one of the fastest-growing in the world. In its first year under Law No. 14,790/2023, the regulated sector generated an estimated BRL 37 billion in gross gaming revenue, with 79 licensed operators serving approximately 25 million active bettors. The government collected close to BRL 10 billion in tax revenue, far exceeding initial projections. Market analysts project the sector to surpass USD 9 billion in annual revenue by 2033.

This is not a new market for SCCG. The firm has maintained a presence in Florianopolis, Brazil for nearly two decades, supporting clients across sports betting, iGaming technology, and gaming infrastructure. What has changed is the regulatory clarity. With the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) now fully operational under the Ministry of Finance and a permanent licensing framework in place, Brazil has moved from a high-potential gray market to a structured, investable, and compliance-driven environment.

“We have been working in Brazil longer than most people realize. The difference now is that the market has caught up to where we always believed it would go. With Thomas on the ground and our global network behind him, SCCG Brazil is built to move at the speed this market demands.”

— Stephen A. Crystal, Founder and CEO, SCCG Management

Leadership on the ground: Thomas Carvalhaes

Thomas Carvalhaes is a senior executive, board advisor, and one of the most influential strategists behind the consolidation of the sports betting and iGaming landscape in Latin America. As the CEO and Founder of TC iGaming Advisors and a founding advisory board member for Next.io LATAM, Thomas brings over 15 years of continuous leadership to the sector, specializing in market entry strategies, operational excellence, and complex regulatory compliance for global Tier-1 operators.

Throughout his career, he has steered multi-million dollar operations and commercial pipelines through evolving jurisdictional frameworks, having served as Country Manager and CEO for Stake in Brazil, alongside key leadership and strategic roles at Betway, LeoVegas, Hero Gaming, and Salsa-Betmotion. His expertise merges sharp regulatory intelligence with localized, high-performance business development, including the structuring and integration of innovative fintech solutions and instant localized payment frameworks such as the Pix ecosystem.

Thomas is a founding member of ABRAJOGO (Brazilian Gaming Association), playing an active role in driving industry-wide ethical standards and operational sustainability. Trilingual and fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, he is a globally recognized industry voice who frequently features as a keynote speaker and panel moderator at the world’s premier gaming summits, including the SBC Summit, EGR, and SiGMA.

What SCCG Brazil does

SCCG Brazil will operate across SCCG Management’s established advisory workstreams, tailored for the Brazilian context:

Strategic Advisory: Regulatory navigation, market entry strategy, and M&A advisory for operators and investors targeting Brazil’s licensed market.

Capital Introductions: Connecting Brazilian gaming companies with international investors, and international operators with Brazilian capital and strategic partners.

Commercial Partnerships: Facilitating technology supplier, affiliate, and white-label distribution agreements between SCCG’s global client portfolio and Brazilian operators.

International Expansion: Supporting Brazilian operators looking to expand into other regulated markets across Latin America, Europe, and North America.

“Brazil’s regulated market has moved from potential to proof, generating billions in its first year under a fully structured licensing framework. International operators and investors need a partner who has navigated this market from the inside, through the regulatory buildout, the payment infrastructure, and the commercial realities on the ground. SCCG Brazil is that partner.”

— Thomas Carvalhaes, Partner, SCCG Brazil

The formation of SCCG Brazil reflects three converging forces. First, regulatory maturity: Brazil’s licensing regime is permanent, the SPA is actively enforcing compliance, and over 25,000 unlicensed sites have been blocked. Second, market scale: with a population exceeding 200 million and mobile penetration driving nearly all betting activity, Brazil offers the largest addressable audience in the region. Third, international demand: SCCG’s global client portfolio includes dozens of technology providers, platform operators, and investors actively seeking structured pathways into the Brazilian market.

SCCG Brazil operates as a division of SCCG Management, the gaming industry’s global advisory firm. With more than 30 years of experience, over 120 active client-partners worldwide, and offices spanning North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, SCCG provides end-to-end advisory services across iGaming, sports betting, sweepstakes, tribal gaming, and casino technology.

Maria Neves, Director of Customer Experience, Customer Support and Reputation Channels, was also named Personality of the Year, an award that recognises leaders in customer experience management in Brazil. “This recognition validates the work of many people, built through listening, team development and a commitment to delivering the best possible customer experience. In a constantly evolving market, putting the customer at the centre of every decision is fundamental to the way we operate,” Neves said.

EGB executives also took part in the summit programme. Neves moderated a panel titled “Responsible Gaming as Part of the Customer Experience Journey,” featuring Carol Luna, Head of Compliance at the company, and Ricardo Magri, co-founder of the Brazilian Support Company for Compulsive Gambling (EBAC), which EGB described as a partner organisation.

During the session, the panellists discussed Brazil’s regulated betting market and how customer service, compliance and responsible gaming processes are being positioned as part of a safer customer journey. EGB highlighted initiatives including specialist support teams trained to identify signs of customer vulnerability, self-exclusion tools, platform usage limits and referral processes to specialist partner organisations.
