The approval marks another key milestone in BMM’s long-term expansion strategy across Brazil’s evolving regulatory landscape.
Strategic expansion in Brazil’s second-largest state
Minas Gerais is Brazil’s second-largest state, home to more than 21 million residents and a major economic center in the country’s southeast region. Entry into this jurisdiction positions BMM Testlabs to support regulators, operators, and suppliers as the state develops its regulated online gaming and sports betting ecosystem.
