New sportsbook brand deploys company’s leading platform technology to power its digital and retail offering
OpenBet, a leading platform, trading & risk, content and services provider to the sports betting industry, has signed a major partnership with Play7.Bet, marking the company’s entry into Brazil’s new and highly anticipated regulated sports betting market.
It is estimated that Brazil could become one of the biggest gambling markets in the world, with data from H2 Gambling Capital forecasting the country will generate gross gaming revenues of up to $6.4 billion annually. OpenBet is fully equipped to exceed local market standards and deliver safe and exciting sports betting experiences to one of the largest regulated markets with an adult population of tens of millions of adults.
OpenBet’s unrivalled modular product suite once again proves to be the trusted choice for operators looking to enter new markets and make an immediate impact. Play7.Bet will take a full stack of products and services including the company’s highly versatile Betting Engine and Managed Trading Services, widely recognized for their excellence by facilitating and managing huge volumes of bets at scale on a consistent basis across the world.
In addition, the operator will utilize OpenBet’s Player Account Management (PAM) technology, enabling the new sportsbook brand to provide the ultimate multi-vertical player experience by offering additional layers of promotional, customer relationship management, AML and responsible gaming tools. The PAM offers operators access to a massive and growing network of partner product and service providers, with investment in local partnerships in Brazil ensuring the best combination of global and local solutions.
Amidst these developments, OpenBet has elevated its protection capabilities through the strategic integration of Neccton, a leader in responsible gaming, AML, and fraud detection. This allows the supplier to seamlessly combine its advanced sports betting technology with cutting-edge cloud and AI features, taking its commitment to player protection to the next level.
The collaboration with Play7.Bet further demonstrates the company’s ability to supply its industry-leading and comprehensive range of technology, content and services to operators worldwide.
Jordan Levin, CEO at OpenBet said: “We are very excited to have signed a deal with Play7.Bet. Our sports-first approach to product – platform development is unique and with 25 years of success entering and developing regulated markets, OpenBet is in the perfect position to help partners like Play7 win in this market.
“From the very first days of the UK market through Greece, Australia and the U.S., it has always been clear that investing in and partnering with competent local companies with coherent and compelling plans, is a strong foundation for success in new markets. For this reason, we are pleased and honored to have been selected to work with Play7 in Brazil.”
Moises Deiab, CEO at Play7.Bet said: “We are very proud and excited to be partnering with OpenBet. OpenBet is well known for having the most complete and scalable sports betting products and services in the world and their value to us will be critical.
“It was also crucial to us to be working with a company that has always demonstrated its commitment to responsible gaming, player protection, local investment and regulated markets. We have big plans for the market and OpenBet is at the heart of them.”

Esportes Gaming Brasil exec calls for ‘responsible sponsorship’ at BiS Brasília
Esportes Gaming Brasil director Hugo Baungartner used a panel appearance at BiS Brasília (Brazilian iGaming Summit) to argue that sports and cultural sponsorships should be measured by their long-term impact, not just brand visibility. Baungartner spoke during the session “A Importância dos Patrocínios e das Leis de Incentivo para a Sustentabilidade do Esporte e da Cultura.”
During the debate, Baungartner said sector maturity requires a long-term approach that turns sponsorships into platforms for relationship-building and local ecosystem development, connecting with fans, consumers and communities.
He highlighted the group’s sports partnerships with Corinthians, Ceará, Náutico and Ferroviária, as well as support for Brazilian cultural events including Carnaval, São João and the Festival de Parintins. Baungartner said major events can move entire supply chains by boosting tourism, commerce and job opportunities, and pointed to the importance of working with local suppliers and professionals in Parintins to expand the positive impacts of sponsorship spending.
Baungartner also addressed challenges in Brazil’s regulated betting market, saying consolidation depends on governance, integrity and consumer protection, alongside efforts to combat illegal operators. He said advances in provider regulation and stronger financial traceability mechanisms are important steps to limit unauthorized activity and improve user security.
“Patrocínio responsável é aquele que cria conexão real com o público e deixa legado no território. No esporte e na cultura, isso significa investir com governança, transparência e propósito, fortalecendo um ecossistema que gera renda, emprego e oportunidades”, afirmou.
