Full-service infrastructure provider to service operators and suppliers with global managed hosting, connectivity and cloud solutions in the Silver State

Continent 8 Technologies, the award-winning global managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity provider to the iGaming and online sports betting industry, augments its US offering having received approval in the state of Nevada.

The company has received two approvals from the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB). The first authorizes Continent 8 to provide its cutting-edge services via its data center site located in the state, and the second allows it to service Nevada-licensed operations from its New Jersey site. This enables licensed iGaming operators and suppliers utilizing Continent 8’s state-of-the-art data center in Atlantic City to launch in the Silver State and benefit from zero-compromise connectivity, performance and latency for optimal user experiences.

Continent 8’s full suite of solutions designed to meet regulatory compliance in each state and jurisdiction is available to customers in Nevada. These solutions cover managed hosting, connectivity and cloud. This includes supporting hybrid cloud deployments with hyperscale partners like Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Continent 8 has consistently demonstrated its leadership in the industry with a first-to-market approach across North America. Working closely with regulators ensures that its customers are the first to go live when each state opens its doors to regulated iGaming and online sports betting for the first time. Continent 8 is live in 30 US states, with further launches in the pipeline.

This first-to-market approach, unrivalled regulatory experience and cutting-edge suite of solutions have seen Continent 8 emerge as the go-to infrastructure provider of choice for 95% of operators on the EGR US Power Rankings for 2024.

Nick Nally, Chief Revenue Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, said: “Our bold and customer-centric approach has positioned us as the number one iGaming infrastructure provider for operators and suppliers targeting the US market, and adding Nevada to our growing network of states strengthens this position.

“That we have also uniquely secured approvals to service Nevada customers from both in-state and out-of-state is further evidence of how we provide our customers with solutions they simply can’t get elsewhere. And this has only been possible because of our close relationship with regulators and the prowess of our infrastructure.”

Canada continues to represent a key growth region for us, and we’re excited to bring our expanding portfolio of games and unique mechanics to operators and players in Alberta.”

IBJR: Crackdown on Illegal Betting Critical to Success of Desenrola 2.0

The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has warned that the effectiveness of the financial protection measures included in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a strict crackdown on the illegal betting market.

In 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for only 0.46% of household consumption in the country — an extremely small share of the average Brazilian family budget — according to data from a study conducted by LCA Consultoria. This reinforces that the main driver of household indebtedness in Brazil continues to be the high cost of credit.

The IBJR emphasized that restricting access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to illegal platforms, which already handle around R$40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.

Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators — often linked to organized crime — from taking advantage of restriction windows to attract vulnerable consumers. This concern is heightened by the proximity of the FIFA World Cup, a period that naturally increases the volume of sports betting activity, as well as by the potential loss of R$10.8 billion in tax revenue if consumption shifts to the underground market.

IBJR reiterates that real consumer protection and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector. The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, the strengthening of responsible gaming practices, and a strategic offensive against illegal websites, ensuring that entertainment takes place exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly regulated ecosystem.
