SOFTSWISS Releases 2025 Edition of iGaming in Brazil Market Research

SOFTSWISS, a leading global provider of iGaming software, has released a new edition of the iGaming in Brazil Market Research, offering a detailed overview of the newly regulated Brazilian market in 2025. This guide provides operators with insights into licensing, regulatory compliance, and market trends as Brazil enters a new era of online gaming.
Brazil, the largest country in South America, has solidified its position as a high-potential iGaming market. With a population of over 218 million and a GDP of USD 2.33 trillion, the country is one of the fastest-growing economies globally. Digital adoption is also soaring, with over 86% of Brazilians actively using the internet and mobile penetration exceeding 97%.
Following the official launch of full iGaming regulation in January 2025, the market is expected to grow significantly, with projections estimating its value at USD 10 billion by 2029. To ensure sustainable industry development, the regulating body implemented strict compliance measures, player protection policies, and structured licensing frameworks.
The regulatory landscape in Brazil has undergone a substantial transformation, culminating in the enforcement of Law No. 14.790 in 2023, which formalised the market, and the establishment of the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA/MF) in 2024. From 1 January 2025, only licensed operators can legally provide online gaming and betting services.
Dario Leiman, Head of Business Development in Latin America at SOFTSWISS, commented on the early months following the regulatory changes: “The regulation of Brazil’s iGaming market has been one of the most significant industry milestones in recent years. While the new framework provides stability and legal clarity, operators must navigate a highly regulated environment with rigorous compliance requirements. The first months of 2025 have already highlighted key challenges, such as taxation structures and licensing complexities. However, such strict regulation also provides opportunities for well-prepared businesses to establish a strong presence in this market.”
The iGaming in Brazil Market Research is a vital resource for businesses looking to enter or expand in the regulated market. The report provides an explicit breakdown of the following critical aspects:
- Regulatory Compliance: Local ownership requirements, licensing processes and tax structures, including specific сosts and rates.
- Security and Data Protection: Mandatory measures like ISO 27001 certification, “bet.br” domain registration, and storing data within Brazil.
- Player Behaviour Trends: Preferences in online casino and sports betting, including game types and betting habits.
- Localisation Strategies: The importance of Brazilian Portuguese interfaces, mobile-first gaming, and local payment solutions such as PIX.
- Advertising and Payment Regulations: Compliance requirements, marketing restrictions, and the latest financial transaction rules.
As Brazil’s regulated iGaming market matures, operators must remain agile in adapting to legal developments and consumer expectations. With its extensive market knowledge and robust solutions, SOFTSWISS continues to help industry players achieve sustainable growth in the region.
Notably, Rubens Barrichello, Non-Executive Director for Latin America at SOFTSWISS, was actively involved in the research re-launch process. Leveraging his deep understanding of Brazilian consumer behaviour and his experience in fostering local partnerships, Rubens provided valuable insights into market localisation strategies and player engagement approaches, helping to ensure the report reflects the unique cultural and technological landscape of Brazil.

LuckBet Launches New TV Commercial Starring Caio Castro on Sportv and Globoplay

The Brazilian sports betting brand doubles down on its national presence with a humorous new campaign spotlighting customer benefits, responsible gaming, and celebrity appeal.
One of Brazil’s rising names in the online betting industry, LuckBet, has launched a new nationwide advertising campaign featuring acclaimed actor and motorsport enthusiast Caio Castro. The commercial, which blends humor with strategic brand messaging, is now airing on Globoplay and will debut on Sportv.
The witty commercial stars Caio Castro in a creative split-role talk show, where he plays both the host and the guest. While only one version of him gets to talk (the host, of course), the dialogue cleverly introduces LuckBet’s key strengths—focusing on entertainment, trust, and unique player benefits.
“Caio Castro communicates our message with natural charisma and humor, while staying aligned with our brand’s core values: entertainment, simplicity, and responsibility,” said Ivan Dutra, CEO of LuckBet. “This new commercial is fast-paced, engaging, and truly represents who we are as a company.”
LuckBet: A Responsible and Player-First Betting Platform
As the only betting operator from Mato Grosso officially listed by Brazil’s Ministry of Finance, LuckBet offers a wide range of player-centric features. These include:
-
Unlimited withdrawals
-
24/7 humanized customer support
-
Weekly cashback on losses
LuckBet’s informal, street-smart communication style—rich in slang and expressions familiar to younger audiences—helps it stand out in Brazil’s crowded iGaming market. This distinctive approach is designed to foster a more authentic connection with bettors across all touchpoints.
Celebrity-Driven Brand With Social Impact
Since its founding in 2021, LuckBet, headquartered in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, has rapidly grown its reputation through high-profile partnerships and sponsorships, including support for Cuiabá EC football club. Alongside Caio Castro, the brand also works with rapper PKFreestyle and sports journalist Isa Pagliari to broaden its appeal.
Importantly, LuckBet is a strong advocate for Responsible Gaming, offering tools such as self-exclusion, reality checks, and integrations with international support organizations like Gambling Therapy and GambleAware. The company adheres strictly to Brazil’s 2025 gambling regulations, operating transparently under newly defined federal guidelines.

We’re very excited to take this step and confident that we will achieve great things together!” celebrated Tiago Grecco, Marketing Director at 1PRA1.BET.BR.
“We always work in Avaí’s best interest to bring more opportunities and valuable resources that can be reinvested into the club. This deal represents another collective effort by everyone here to strengthen Avaí in pursuit of even greater goals. We thank the leadership at 1PRA1.BET.BR for their trust, and I’m certain we’ll build a great relationship with mutual benefits for both the company and the team,” added Rodrigo Florenzano, Avaí’s Business Director.
