North Star Network Adds Basketball Website LakersBrasil.com to Growing Portfolio
Sports and gaming media group North Star Network is delighted to confirm the acquisition of Brazilian basketball website LakersBrasil.com.
The website, which launched in 2006, is one of the largest NBA team news portals in Brazil and keeps fans of the LA Lakers up to date on all the important news, features and statistics regarding their team.
Basketball continues to grow in popularity in Brazil, ranking second on the list of favorite sports among Brazilian residents. According to a 2021 Google Sports Study, Google searches in the country for Lakers superstar LeBron James were equal to that of Gabigol, the standout player for Brazilian football team Flamengo.
“LakersBrasil.com is a perfect fit for our portfolio, with basketball continuing to become more significant in Brazil, and this gives us a chance to connect with basketball fans and provide them with first-class insight into their favorite team,” the Chief Executive Officer for North Star Network, Julien Josset, said. “We look forward to giving LakersBrasil.com greater resources to continue to be a leading reference point on the LA Lakers in Brazil and grow its stature further among basketball fans.”

EstrelaBet to offer Opta-powered stats markets and premium live football streaming in extensive partnership with Stats Perform

Customers of leading Brazilian gaming tech company, EstrelaBet, are set to enjoy more innovative and entertaining betting experiences for the world’s top football competitions after the operator today announced an extensive partnership with sports data and AI leader Stats Perform.
The multi-year agreement for Stats Perform’s ‘Bet LiveStreams’ content and technology provide EstrelaBet customers the ability to watch and bet on nearly 20,000+ premium men’s and women’s professional football matches a year, across 80 global competitions, providing round-the-clock, year-round exciting betting action.
It includes some the most popular football competitions played globally, featuring some of Brazilian football’s top talent, including Spain’s LaLiga, the English Football League (EFL) and Carabao Cup, multiple Concacaf competitions and internationals, and wide coverage of South American competitions in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Mexico, as well as prominent leagues played in Asia.
EstrelaBet will also offer innovative player and team stats betting markets powered by detailed live Opta data, thrilling bettors with every shot, foul, and tackle. Altenar, an accredited Opta for Betting partner, will create and settle unique markets for more than 90 global competitions and 11,000+ games a year – a growing number, due to huge demand from operators and bettors globally. These significant product upgrades solidify EstrelaBet’s leading position within the regulated Brazilian betting market and prime it to achieve its ambitious growth targets.
Fellipe Fraga, CBO (Chief Business Officer) at EstrelaBet, said, “These are two major upgrades for EstrelaBet. Firstly, it’s vital for customer trust for us to build stats betting experiences with the same consistently-collected football data used globally by the biggest professional teams, broadcasters and media, and that is Opta. Secondly, the quality and scale of Stats Perform’s premium live streaming package means our customers can quickly watch lots of the games they’re betting on, which further increases their entertainment and enjoyment from our sportsbook.”
Steve Xeller, Chief Revenue Officer at Stats Perform, added, “Live streaming creates the ultimate trusted and entertaining in-play betting experience, and we’ve built a popular official rights portfolio, especially in football, delivered through award-winning technology. We’ve also invested heavily in expanding the range of competitions covered by our specialist Opta API for sportsbooks. These investments ensure that operators like EstrelaBet, and partners like Altenar, can create personalised, innovative, and engaging sports betting experiences. We look forward to seeing the results they achieve”.
Earlier in 2025, Bet LiveStreams was named Industry Innovation of the Year – South America at SBC Americas, and Live Streaming Supplier of the Year at the EGR Awards – an acknowledgement of the impact Stats Perform’s Bet LiveStreams service has on elevating in-play betting experiences in regulated betting markets.
Stats Perform’s multi-award-winning, trusted Opta data API has also established itself as the gold standard in football statistics for teams, leagues, broadcasters, live scores apps and sportsbooks, providing the critical data for products like same-game multis and player props that have become hugely popular with bettors.

BGaming Partners with its LATAM Brand Ambassador Jon Vlogs to Support Charity Mission in Brazil

Rapidly expanding content provider secures deal with leading Brazilian influencer
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is proud to announce a new collaboration with Brazilian influencer Jon Vlogs. Under the deal, Vlogs serves as the brand’s official LATAM ambassador starting in July.
To celebrate the partnership, BGaming has joined forces with Jon Vlogs to support his “BDJ na Amazônia” charity project, a mission focused on environmental and social impact in the heart of the Amazon. The goal of the project was to engage Gen Z and millennials with environmental issues by mixing entertainment with education.
During his journey, Jon Vlogs streamed his sessions featuring BGaming’s Aztec Clusters, highlighting how the game’s themes of ancient rituals, jungle exploration, and hidden treasures mirrored his real-life adventure.
Continuing the mission in Brazil, BGaming has also donated €5,000 to Instituto Onça-Pintada (IOP), the world’s first institution dedicated to jaguar conservation in Brazil. The organisation conducts vital scientific research to ensure the preservation of the jaguar across the country’s various biomes.
Kate Puteiko, CMO of BGaming, said: “Our partnership with Jon Vlogs goes far beyond traditional brand ambassador deals. It’s a testament to our commitment to social responsibility, the environment, and Brazil.
“The ‘BDJ na Amazônia’ project aligns perfectly with our values at BGaming, and we are proud to be able to make such a positive impact and to help preserve Brazil’s natural heritage.”
Jon Vlogs said: “I’m extremely excited to partner with BGaming. They are always striving to go beyond, also trying to make a positive impact in Brazil, and this collaboration is a perfect example. Being able to continue my passion for playing while on a mission to help the Amazon is a huge win for me, and I’m grateful to BGaming for giving me the opportunity to do so. This is just the beginning of what promises to be a really exciting and productive partnership.”
