SCCG Extends and Strengthens Strategic Sponsorship with Thunder Fight to Elevate Brazilian MMA and Combat Sports

SCCG NextGen, the talent agency vertical of SCCG Management, proudly announces the renewal of its sponsorship partnership with Thunder Fight and Thunder Fight Center, Brazil’s premier martial arts event organization and training venue. This continued collaboration underscores SCCG’s commitment to supporting innovative sports organizations in emerging markets like Brazil, where MMA is one of the fastest-growing and most exciting sports.
Since its inception in 2014, Thunder Fight has been a launchpad for elite Brazilian MMA talent, with over 27 fighters advancing to the UFC and countless others making their mark on the global stage. Of the 27, many are current international stars, such as Diego Lopes, Jailton Almeida, Caio Borralho, Natalia Silva and Marina Rodriguez. With over 84 registered competitions and 398 MMA Matches, the organization has built a legacy of excellence, hosting legends such as Jorge Patino Macaco, Reginaldo Vieira, and Elias Silverio. Thunder Fight continues to be recognized as one of Brazil’s top MMA breeding grounds, providing a platform for rising stars in combat sports. Out of all brazilians in the UFC currently, 17% are Thunder Alumni.
Through this renewed partnership, SCCG Management will maintain a powerful brand presence across all Thunder Fight Center events and media promotions, ensuring continuous exposure on the Octagon mat, corner stickers, event posters, social media, and video highlights. This collaboration strengthens SCCG’s influence in Brazil’s thriving sports entertainment industry, fostering engagement with passionate MMA fans and sports bettors alike.
Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management, expressed his enthusiasm for the renewed partnership: “Thunder Fight has played a pivotal role in shaping Brazilian MMA, and we’re honored to continue our support. At SCCG NextGen, we believe in the power of sports entertainment, and Thunder Fight represents the kind of innovation and excellence that aligns perfectly with our mission. By strengthening our partnership, we reinforce our commitment to fostering emerging sports markets and engaging new audiences in dynamic ways.”

Games Global partners with Spin Gaming to launch Brazil’s first fully localised live casino offering

Global provider collaborates with major São Paulo-based studio to enhance its operations with class-leading technology
Games Global, a leading supplier of online gaming content, has teamed up with Spin Gaming, a pioneering Brazilian start-up in the live casino sector, to establish the market’s first live dealer studio located and operated in the nation.
Operating since January 2025 from a state-of-the-art studio in São Paulo, Spin Gaming has introduced a Tier A structure to the market, with dedicated studios and localised customer service built in full alignment with national regulations and designed to optimise the customer experience.
Fuelled by Games Global’s agile, cutting-edge technology, Spin Gaming, powered by OnAir, will deliver premium live game streaming and technical support to its partners. Supplementing its local execution with Games Global’s worldwide expertise positions the studio as a prominent new entertainment hub for Brazilian online casinos, with the venture primed for growth in the coming years.
While the deal signifies a key commercial and strategic move, it also marks the creation of the first Brazilian academy specialising in training live casino dealers, which is set to fuel the industry production chain by generating hundreds of jobs for natives.
This initiative represents a milestone for Brazil’s digital entertainment industry, as the country shifts from a consumer to a producer of immersive, secure, and legalised live betting experiences with a Brazilian identity and international reach.
Ricardo Regner, Director of LatAm at Games Global, said: “Brazil is a dynamic, ever-evolving market, and the importance of a local touch when it comes to operations in the country cannot be overstated.
“This landmark deal with Spin Gaming not only highlights Games Global’s unwavering commitment to delivering tailored solutions to local markets, but also highlights our drive to support iGaming infrastructure in emerging jurisdictions.”
Fred Ring, Co-Founder and CRO at Spin Gaming, said: “We are proud to present a solution made in Brazil, by Brazilians, to international standards. Our studio is a benchmark in Latin America, and our team was trained at the country’s first dealer and game presenter academy.
“The partnership with Games Global allows us to leverage its extensive global iGaming expertise to streamline efficiency and elevate the overall quality of our offering as we continue our mission to become the local champion, a household name in the Brazilian live casino space.”

ThrillTech secures regulatory approvals to launch jackpots in Latam

Peru and Brazil to provide launchpad for Latam expansion as ThrillTech strengthens presence in emerging regulated markets
ThrillTech, the B2B jackpot specialist, has taken a significant step forward in its international growth strategy after securing a B2B licence in Peru and regulatory certification in Brazil.
The approvals clear the path for ThrillTech to launch its proprietary player-funded jackpot solutions in Latin America for the first time, bringing its flagship ThrillPots product to one of the world’s most exciting and emerging regions for iGaming.
Latin America has become a focal point for operators in recent years, with Brazil’s market liberalisation and Peru’s structured regulatory framework, as set out by the country’s ministry of foreign trade and tourism (MINCETUR), providing fertile ground for innovative engagement tools.
By working tirelessly to secure entry into both countries, ThrillTech is positioning itself to support operators with compliant, performance-driven jackpot mechanics that can drive revenue and enhance retention.
Peter Mares, CTO and co-founder of ThrillTech, said: “Expanding into Latin America is a milestone moment for us. The region is bursting with opportunity, but it also demands solutions that are flexible, transparent, and built to scale. With a licence in Peru and certification in Brazil, we are ready to deliver the same measurable revenue impact to operators in Latam that we’ve already proven in Europe.
ThrillTech’s products are designed to provide operators with new revenue streams through side-bet jackpots, while also offering real-time engagement mechanics via cash-only rewards.
Already integrated with multiple tier-one operators in Europe, ThrillTech is now primed to replicate that success in Latam by delivering regulator-approved solutions to local operators.
