Brazilian Ministry of Sports and IBIA sign sports betting integrity agreement
The Brazilian Ministry of Sports and the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) have signed a sports betting integrity cooperation agreement. This partnership will enable the sharing of information concerning suspicious betting activity connected to Brazilian sports and support collaboration on integrity-related investigations.
The agreement brings together the governmental body tasked with safeguarding the integrity and development of Brazilian sport, and the largest international betting integrity monitor for private operators in the world. Leading industry data and intelligence company H2 Gambling Capital has forecast that IBIA covers more than 70% of Brazil’s licensed remote gambling market.
According to ‘The Availability of Sports Betting Products: An Economic and Integrity Analysis’ study published last year, the sports betting regulatory regime in Brazil is projected to create $34bn (R$191.7bn) in sports betting turnover by 2028. With this increased growth comes a greater responsibility to protect customers, sports and betting operators from match-fixing.
A key element of the new Brazilian regulatory framework is the requirement that operators seeking a licence must join an independent sports integrity monitoring body. This licensing requirement is helping to strengthen IBIA’s capacity to monitor, assess and protect betting transactions in Brazil’s regulated sports betting market and maintain the integrity of Brazilian sporting events.
Minister of Sport, André Fufuca, said: “Today we are signing a milestone in the fight against match-fixing in Brazilian sport. Integrity must be a constant principle when it comes to transparency, ethics and, above all, the correctness of sports results. With these agreements, we will have more than enough instruments to curb this practice and guarantee greater transparency in competitions. Thus, athletes, clubs, organizations, fans and the entire population will be able to fully trust in the fairness of the results and, with this, will have peace of mind to develop the full potential of Brazilian sport.”
Khalid Ali, IBIA CEO, said: “IBIA welcomes this important partnership with the Brazilian Ministry of Sports. As the market grows, so too does the responsibility to ensure that robust integrity safeguards are in place. This agreement will ensure that information on suspicious betting is swiftly shared with the Ministry to support effective integrity actions. This includes access to detailed, account-level data available only through IBIA’s unique network.”
IBIA is a globally recognised non-profit organization that seeks to safeguard the integrity of the sports and betting sectors by fighting betting related match-fixing and fraud. It provides a free integrity monitoring service to sports governing bodies, regulatory authorities, government ministries, and law enforcement agencies that, importantly, has no potential conflicts created by the provision of competing commercial services, enabling all parties to efficiently and effectively cooperate in investigating, prosecuting and deterring sports betting related match-fixing.
IBIA monitors over $300bn per annum in betting turnover across more than 140 sports betting brands globally, making IBIA the largest betting integrity monitor of its type for private operators in the world. The association’s unrivalled access to detailed global customer transactional data has, and will continue, to play a pivotal role in protecting the Brazilian sports betting market and sporting events from corrupt activity. IBIA recently released its global alert data for the first quarter of 2025, detailing that 63 cases of suspicious betting were reported to the relevant authorities.

SCCG and +55 Form Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Brazil’s Regulated Gaming Market Outreach
SCCG Management announced a strategic partnership with +55 Business Solutions, establishing a collaborative framework designed to support the structured growth of Brazil’s newly regulated betting and iGaming market.
As Brazil advances its federal regulatory framework for online betting and gaming, operators, suppliers, investors, and media groups are navigating one of the most significant emerging regulated markets in the world. The partnership between SCCG and +55 aligns global gaming infrastructure with Brazilian regulatory insight to help companies enter and scale within the market responsibly and strategically.
Founded by Stephen A. Crystal, SCCG Management brings more than three decades of experience advising tribal and commercial gaming operators, sportsbooks, iGaming platforms, payment providers, compliance companies, and technology innovators across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. SCCG’s ecosystem includes over 130 client-partners spanning best-in-class solutions in payments, AML and KYC verification, geolocation, fraud prevention, CRM and loyalty systems, sports data and analytics, content aggregation, risk management, sponsorship activation, and capital markets advisory.
Through this strategic partnership, Brazilian operators and suppliers will benefit from coordinated access to global advisory expertise, international distribution channels, and proven technology relationships, combined with localized regulatory navigation and operational structuring expertise.
+55 Business Solutions, led by Founder and CEO Bellity Cruz, is based in Salvador, Bahia, and specializes in Revenue Operations (RevOps), international trade strategy, governance structuring, and digital transformation. With academic foundations in Social Communication and postgraduate specialization in Foreign Trade and International Marketing, complemented by an MBA in Business Management and in Financial Administration, Digital Innovation, and Fintechs, Cruz has built +55 around the principle of transforming ambitious expansion strategies into structured, compliant, and measurable growth systems.
The partnership is structured to collectively provide services including regulatory navigation and licensing strategy guidance, operational governance frameworks, revenue structuring, vendor acceleration, business development facilitation, capital advisory, intellectual property evaluation, bjand long-term strategic positioning within Brazil’s regulated environment.
Rather than approaching Brazil as a short-term opportunity, SCCG and +55 are focused on building disciplined foundations for sustainable growth. The collaboration emphasizes governance before scale, predictability before aggressive expansion, and structured compliance aligned with Brazil’s evolving national oversight.
“Brazil represents one of the most important emerging regulated gaming markets globally,” said Stephen A. Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “By combining SCCG’s global expertise and our 130+ client-partner ecosystem with +55’s deep understanding of Brazil’s regulatory and commercial landscape, we are creating a powerful alignment between international best practices and local market intelligence. Our goal is to support responsible expansion and long-term value creation in Brazil.”
“Too many international operators confuse market entry with market presence in Brazil launching localized content while lacking the regulatory infrastructure, cultural intelligence, and operational discipline required to compete sustainably,” said Bellity, Founder of +55 Business Solutions. “By partnering with SCCG Management, we’re combining their 130+ client-partner ecosystem and global regulatory expertise with +55’s on-the-ground intelligence and institutional relationships to deliver what the market actually demands: compliance architecture, process maturity, and strategic positioning before commercial acceleration. Our goal is to ensure operators build for longevity, not just launch, because in Brazil’s evolving regulatory environment, shortcuts don’t create value, they create exposure.”
The formation of this partnership also reflects SCCG’s continued investment in emerging markets and next-generation leadership within the gaming industry. By aligning with a Brazilian-founded firm led by Bellity Cruz, SCCG reinforces its commitment to empowering rising leaders and advancing women executives who are shaping the future of regulated gaming.
As Brazil’s betting and iGaming market continues to formalize under federal regulation, companies entering the jurisdiction must balance opportunity with operational discipline and compliance rigor. The strategic partnership between SCCG and +55 is positioned to serve as a trusted bridge between global gaming infrastructure and Brazil’s dynamic regulatory landscape.

Betsul and Vibra Solutions Debut Brazil’s First Native Betting App
Vibra Solutions, the iGaming tech firm focused on regulated LatAm markets, has introduced Betsul’s new betting application — the first entirely native app of this type in Brazil.
Constructed from the ground up, the launch sets a new technological standard for the industry. Vibra Solutions has launched a solution tailored exclusively for mobile devices, positioning Betsul as the sole betting operator in the nation to provide a completely native app.
The launch moves the platform closer to its users and strengthens its dedication to a quicker, more cohesive, and safer experience. Accessible on the Play Store (Android) and the App Store (iOS), the app enhances user interaction channels and bolsters direct communication, providing features like easy login, immediate betting access, and special promotions.
“Throughout the entire development stage, our starting point was people. ‘What could truly make a difference in their day-to-day lives?’ ‘How can we make this experience lighter and more intuitive?’ These were some of the questions that guided us throughout the process. Launching a native app is the result of this listening and of our commitment to delivering an increasingly complete platform for those who bet with us,” highlights Andréia Oliveira, Betsul’s Operations Director.
Along with a contemporary and adaptable interface, the Betsul app provides login options through Face ID, Touch ID, or the device’s password, ensuring ease of use and enhanced security. Navigation has been enhanced to decrease loading durations, streamline deposits and withdrawals, and enable customers to swiftly locate their preferred sports, markets, and games. Through native push notifications, the platform can now update players in real time regarding betting chances, cashout availability, promotions, key results, and additional actions.
For Andréia, the launch represents more than just a new tool: it is a strategic step forward in the relationship with bettors. “The app places the customer in an environment that learns from them, understands their preferences, and offers shortcuts, recommendations, and a smoother journey. We want each person to feel that the care is in the details — from response speed to clarity of information and the comfort of betting where and when they want,” she concludes.
Werter Luna, CEO of Vibra Gaming, added: “Our relationship with Betsul is built on trust, long-term vision, and continuous innovation. The development of the native app is the result of this joint work and a shared conviction: putting the customer at the centre of the experience through solid technology that improves performance, drives acquisition, strengthens retention, and supports consistent growth of the player base.”
