Esportes da Sorte has renewed its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition
Esportes da Sorte has renewed its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition.
The brand reinforces its strategy of promoting Brazilian culture after fostering an exchange between the North and Northeast regions during the Pernambuco Carnival.
Esportes da Sorte announced the renewal of its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition.
Scheduled to take place from June 26 to 28, the event is part of the brand’s strategy to strengthen Brazilian cultural expressions and support the regional creative economy.
The continuation of the partnership follows a cycle of cultural integration promoted by the company over the past year.
In 2026, the group brought artistic references from the Parintins Festival to Recife Carnival by inviting Amazonian visual artist Iran Martins to design the brand’s parade float at Galo da Madrugada.
The project incorporated movement mechanisms and aesthetic elements inspired by the “bumbás” universe into the visual language of frevo.
Beyond brand exposure, the investment in Parintins is part of a positioning strategy focused on valuing Brazilian cultural identity and strengthening initiatives with strong regional ties.
“Our presence in Parintins goes beyond a branding action. It is a commitment to valuing Brazilian culture and the professionals who drive this creative ecosystem.
By bringing together references from the Parintins Festival and Recife Carnival, we show how different cultural expressions in the country can dialogue and create new connections.
We want to continue expanding this impact and contribute to keeping the bumbá tradition strong,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil, owner of Esportes da Sorte.
Economic growth and new Bumbódromo
The Parintins Festival 2026 is expected to generate around R$193.2 million, a projected 5% increase compared to the previous edition. The forecast also includes approximately 30,000 direct and indirect jobs, as well as the arrival of around 126,000 tourists.
The audience will be welcomed in the new Bumbódromo, a structure with capacity for up to 25,000 people per day, which will become part of the festival’s expansion in the coming years.

Massive Gaming launches Blitzcrown titles on Superbet Brazil via Bragg Hub
Massive Gaming (MVG) has gone live with Superbet Brazil, launching a selection of Blitzcrown studio titles via the Bragg hub game aggregation platform.
The initial rollout includes eight games from Blitzcrown, which focuses on non-traditional casino formats. Titles available at launch include Boom Boom Hit Plinko, Snowball Plinko, Fast Crash, and Dragon & Wizard.
The content is delivered through bragg hub, using Bragg Gaming Group’s existing aggregation relationship with Superbet in Brazil. The companies noted that Superbet secured a regulated licence ahead of the market’s January 2025 launch.
Blitzcrown’s instant-win games previously secured Brazil RGS, RNG, and individual game certifications from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI).
George Cho, Director at Massive Gaming, said: “Going live on Superbet Brazil is a landmark moment for Massive Gaming, and for Blitzcrown as a studio. Brazil is one of the most exciting regulated markets in the world, and being able to bring our content to Superbet’s players through Bragg’s platform is a testament to both the quality of our games, and the strength of these partnerships. We look forward to expanding our presence in the market as we continue to grow our portfolio.”
Hristofor Hristov, Commercial Director Aggregation at bragg, commented:
“We are thrilled to facilitate this exciting launch between Massive Gaming and Superbet in Brazil.

FIRST.bet Launches Sportsbook with Brazil’s Biggest Online Casino Operator
7Games partners with FIRST.bet to deliver Tier-1 sportsbook technology to one of Brazil’s largest casino operators.
7Games, Betão, and R7—brands managed by OIG Gaming Brazil Ltda. and recognized as key players in Brazil’s casino-led betting market—have launched a comprehensive sportsbook platform powered by FIRST.bet’s leading Tier-1 technology.
As one of Brazil’s most prominent casino operators, OIG Gaming Brazil Ltda. opted for FIRST.bet to seamlessly expand its reach into the sports betting sector across its trio of brands. This partnership underscores the scalability and robustness of FIRST.bet, demonstrating its capacity to support large-scale, multi-brand ecosystems in the competitive Brazilian market.
Leveraging FIRST.bet’s SportOS operating system, 7Games developed a customized sportsbook front end tailored to its unique branding and user experience. While players interact with a platform fully reflective of 7Games’ identity—from design to functionality—the underlying engine driving trading, pricing, live markets, and overall performance is powered by FIRST.bet.
As a casino-first operator venturing into sports betting, 7Games required a sportsbook solution aligning directly with the nuances of the Brazilian market. FIRST.bet delivered exactly that: a product optimized for Brazil, complete with Brazilian-Portuguese language capabilities, odds models tailored for national leagues, and high-performance live betting, trading, and risk management systems to meet the demands of a competitive scale.
“Brazil isn’t a market where you can afford slow growth—your product must hit the ground running,” explained Fernando Oliveira Lima, Founder and CEO of 7Games. “FIRST.bet provided us with a solution already optimized for this market, allowing us to concentrate on serving our players rather than troubleshooting underlying technology.”
Echoing this sentiment, Tom Light, Founder and CEO of FIRST.bet, added, “Success in Brazil hinges on getting the product right from day one. Operators who fail to meet those expectations are quickly left behind. With 7Games already commanding significant casino traffic, they now have a sportsbook designed to handle that scale. It’s their unique brand experience backed by an engine built for top-tier performance, which is exactly why we developed SportOS.”
