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.

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.

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.

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.
