International expansion and strengthening in Brazil

The strategic plan aims to expand Oddsgate’s presence in emerging markets such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America (Latam—Hispanoamérica) and further strengthen its operations in Brazil, mainly in segments advancing towards regularization.

The pillars of this plan include organic growth and strategic acquisitions, continuous development of human capital – always highly valued by the company –technological innovation, and a solid commitment to positive impact, social responsibility, and integrity.

Therefore, it’s a movement to maintain a path and commitment that has been followed since the beginning. Well-defined purposes guide it, and it has excellent potential to generate value for all its stakeholders.

The moment was also opportune to present, listen to, and reinforce the role of other big names in the management of the B2B Platform company:

  • Wagner Fernandes – Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
  • Nuno Jerónimo – General Manager

These leaders were chosen based on their confidence and experience in navigating the market, their deep knowledge of the group and its customers, and their strategic business vision.

 

18 years of experience in iGaming

Tiago Almeida began his career in the gaming industry in 2006. In 2010, he connected with South American operators locally and saw a great opportunity. With the right conditions and support, he believed Brazil could be one of the largest iGaming markets worldwide.

Upon relocating to the country, he acquired a wealth of experience in diverse platforms and their challenges, providing invaluable learning. He founded and led a company in the sector, serving as CEO from 2017 to 2020. During this period, he played a crucial role in developing the company’s platform and growing the Brazilian market.

At the same time, Tiago founded a company specializing in licensing services for gaming operators looking to explore opportunities in Latin America. He quickly established himself as one of the leading authorities in regulated markets, compliance, and regulatory processes, both in B2B and B2C environments. Under his leadership, this company has thrived in the growing Brazilian market, with Tiago providing strategic consultancy to major players such as Esportes da Sorte, Pixbet, Galerabet, and F12.BET, among others.

  • The Rangers-Kindred relationship first began 10 years ago in 2014
  • Unibet and Zero% Mission branding are the primary front of shirt sponsor for all four kits – with sister brand 32Red supporting the club as the Training and Warm Up Kit Sponsor
  • EPIC Risk Management Gambling and money management workshop made available to all Rangers players.
  • Unibet continues to be the only operator to include a responsible gambling message on its front-of-shirt branding
  • As part of the agreement, Kindred has renewed its funding of men’s mental health initiative – Team Talk – which will be delivered by the Rangers Charity Foundation

Kindred Group – home to Unibet and 32Red brands in the UK – has agreed a substantial new front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with Rangers FC, cementing the partnership as the longest running in British football.

Kindred have already partnered with Rangers for 10 seasons, significantly investing into the club’s outreach work in the local community. The partnership will continue to fund Rangers Charity Foundation’s delivery of Team Talk – a men’s mental health initiative. Team Talk leverages the club and its players, manager and staff as a mechanism to engage with men about their mental well-being.

The Group’s Unibet brand will adorn first team shirts while 32Red – which was the previous front-of-shirt sponsor – will continue to support the club as Training and Warm Up Kit Sponsor.

“Zero% Mission”, which is Kindred’s Responsible gambling message, will also appear on the new shirts which are available now. Kindred remains the only gambling operator to feature safer gambling messaging on front-of-shirt advertising in the UK.

Part of the company’s ‘Journey towards Zero’, Kindred’s Zero% Mission represents the brand’s ambition to reach 0% of its revenue derived from harmful gambling. It is based on educating fans and players about the tools available to keep gambling safe and enjoyable – and to signpost where to go if there are problems.

Sam Mead, General Manager UK, Kindred Group, said: “Kindred’s partnership with Rangers is British football’s longest running and one of the most impactful. Rangers are a club with a rich history, who have a passionate and loyal fanbase – so we are delighted to be partnering with the team once again.

We join the supporters in wishing the team the very best in the ongoing season – together, we hope we can make it another successful one.

“We recognise that we are in the privileged position to support clubs and their communities – a responsibility we take very seriously. That’s why since we began working with Rangers, the basis of the partnership has always been to showcase the Rangers Charity Foundation’s wide-ranging work that is so important – including the men’s mental health initiative Team Talk. This fantastic work will continue over the course of our latest partnership.”

Rangers Chief Commercial Officer, Karim Virani, commented: “Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted to extend our longstanding partnership with the Kindred Group. This partnership is the longest running of its kind in British football – and has helped the club enormously over what will be 15 years at the end of the deal we’ve announced today.

“Most importantly, we’d like to thank them for continuing their vital support of the club’s Foundation – especially through the Team Talk mental health initiative. The health and wellbeing of our local community is very important to ourselves and Kindred. We are all looking forward to the opportunity to continue driving forward new initiatives that will benefit both our supporters and the people of Glasgow.”
