Grupo Silvio Santos selects OpenBet to power media and retail giant’s Sports Betting & Gaming offering
OpenBet, a leading global provider of betting technology, content, and services, has secured a major long-term agreement to launch the new sports betting and gaming brand for Todos Querem Jogar (TQJ), part of Grupo Silvio Santos (GSS), one of the largest Brazilian conglomerates in media (SBT), retail (Jequiti), tourism (Hotel Jequitimar), real estate (SISAN) and redeemable bonds (Liderança Capitalização). OpenBet has been entrusted to power TQJ’s betting and gaming platform, delivering premium entertainment to Brazilian consumers who value GSS’s diverse range of brands.
For over 65 years, GSS has been at the heart of delivering world class entertainment in SBT, including iconic brands and game shows such as Show do Milhão, Gol Show and Passa ou Repassa, and iconic products such as Baú da Felicidade and Tele Sena, two of the most popular capitalization and goods and services consortium products in Brazil. GSS’s shows reach more than 113 million Brazilians every month across more than 100 broadcasters and bring in more than 29 million viewers per day.
TQJ is highly committed to delivering safe, responsible betting and gaming experiences to Brazilians with the aim to be the number one leader for player protection. OpenBet’s strong global reputation, expertise in complex regulatory markets, and focus on responsible gaming and compliance were key defining factors in TQJ choosing the company’s fully compliant solutions.
OpenBet’s comprehensive betting ecosystem will drive TQJ’s operations with its high-performing betting engine to handle significant traffic volumes and zero downtime during major sporting events. Additionally, OpenBet is also enabling TQJ to deliver a comprehensive iGaming experience through its player account management (PAM) platform, providing a unified platform for managing promotions across both sports and casino verticals.
The sportsbook is strengthened with the immersive BetBuilder experience, enabling players to create personalized bets and tailor their betting experience. OpenBet’s Managed Trading Services (MTS) will deliver secure and seamless operations through its 24/7 risk management and expert guidance.
World class responsible gaming and anti-money laundering (AML) technology, powered by Neccton, will be at the heart of TQJ’s new offering to ensure it maintains the highest standards of player protection. OpenBet Locator
, an advanced geolocation solution powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), will allow the operator to be fully compliant with Brazil’s strict regulatory requirements.
Leonardo Sampaio, CIO of GSS, said: “We’re excited to work alongside OpenBet, a global leader that sets the industry standard for delivering trustworthy and compliant betting operations. For TQJ, it is imperative we offer superior betting experiences that are underpinned by robust compliance procedures. OpenBet’s end-to-end ecosystem and overall company values provide us with peace of mind that we are working alongside the best company to launch us into the regulated sports betting and gaming market.”
José Roberto Maciel, CEO of GSS said: “Considering OpenBet’s heritage of working alongside iconic media entertainment brands and state-owned organizations, TQJ is firmly positioned to lead the way in Brazil by offering responsible gaming, beyond what is required by legislation, and new product experiences that will capture the imagination of players.”
Jordan Levin, CEO of OpenBet, said: “Grupo Silvio Santos is an iconic group in Brazil’s entertainment sector, and we are truly honored to have been chosen to power its sports betting and gaming brand. Considering the esteemed heritage of both OpenBet and GSS, together we are in a solid position to deliver an engaging and responsible betting experience that will make waves across Brazil’s regulated market. OpenBet sets the highest standards in delivering compliant betting operations, which is attracting major interest from Brazil’s leading entertainment organizations as shown with this latest agreement.”
Veteran executive tasked with expanding PG Soft across Latin America and leading strategy in Brazil as regulation evolves.
PG Soft has appointed Hugo Baungartner as General Manager LatAm, handing him responsibility for the supplier’s commercial expansion across Latin America and its strategy in Brazil.
The company said Baungartner will focus on growing the business in Brazil, where PG Soft says it has already captured a “significant share of the market,” while building presence across regulated markets in the wider region.
Baungartner brings more than 29 years of experience across technology and gaming. He has held leadership roles at Grupo Aposta Ganha, RCT Gaming, Prohards and most recently Esportes Gaming Brasil, according to the company.
PG Soft also pointed to Baungartner’s network across Latin America’s regulatory landscape, including relationships with Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA/MF), the Federal Revenue Service, and COAF, as well as Mexico’s Dirección General de Juegos y Sorteos and AIEJA (the Mexican Gaming Association).
Hugo Baungartner, General Manager LatAm at PG Soft, commented: “PG Soft’s brand needs no introduction in Latin America thanks to its extensive portfolio of world-class, mobile-first games that resonate strongly with players. The company is only just getting started in the region, and I look forward to building on its success in Brazil while expanding PG Soft’s presence across regulated markets throughout Latin America.”

TJPE cites a Brasília federal ruling that suspended the legal effects of Spribe’s AVIATOR registration and barred exclusivity claims during nullity proceedings.
The Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE) has revoked preliminary appellate relief previously granted to Spribe OÜ in litigation over the AVIATOR trademark in Brazil.
In a monocratic decision, Justice Andrea Epaminondas Tenorio de Brito held that the factual and legal basis for the earlier injunction no longer exists. The court pointed to a subsequent decision by the Federal Court in Brasília that provisionally suspended the legal effects of Spribe’s Brazilian AVIATOR trademark registration and ordered Spribe to refrain from asserting exclusivity based on that registration while federal nullity proceedings are ongoing.
TJPE said its earlier relief relied on the presumption that Spribe’s trademark registration before Brazil’s National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) was fully valid and enforceable. With the federal court suspending the registration’s effects, the Pernambuco court found the underlying circumstances had materially changed.
The court cited Article 296 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure as the basis for revoking the preliminary relief in light of the changed legal situation.

The Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE) has revoked preliminary appellate relief previously granted to Spribe OÜ in ongoing litigation over the use of the AVIATOR trademark in Brazil, citing a change in the legal circumstances supporting the earlier decision.
In a monocratic decision, Justice Andrea Epaminondas Tenorio de Brito concluded that the factual and legal basis for the prior injunction no longer exists. The ruling follows a decision by the Federal Court in Brasília that provisionally suspended the legal effects of Spribe’s Brazilian AVIATOR trademark registration.
According to the press release, the federal court also ordered Spribe to refrain from asserting exclusivity based on that registration until the federal nullity proceedings are resolved.
TJPE said its earlier decision had relied on the presumption that Spribe’s trademark registration with the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) was fully valid and enforceable. With the federal court now suspending the legal effects of that registration, the Pernambuco court held that the foundation for interim relief had materially changed, prompting revocation under Article 296 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure.
