Kratos Studios sets sights internationally, strategic expansion to Brazil

Published

on

 

Recently launched gaming platform Kratos Studios expands to Brazil with the aim to empower gamers globally. The company has already taken concrete steps towards establishing a solid foundation in Brazil, handpicking a team of seasoned community builders and astute business developers. This strategic move is projected to propel Kratos Studios towards quadrupling the overall community income generated on its innovative platform.

Accel-led investee company Kratos Studios is set to expand to Brazil, a market which has massive gaming potential. This foray promises to amplify the size of Kratos’ global gaming community and at the same time attract an influx of captivating games onto the platform. Also, this will propel Kratos Studios towards multiplying the value exchanged on its innovative platform.

Kratos is co-founded by veteran Manish Agarwal, the former CEO of Nazara Technologies, and Ishank Gupta, a distinguished Wharton alumnus who boasts a rich background in senior leadership roles within AB InBev & BCG.

The company recently raised INR 160 cr at a valuation of INR 1200 cr for their new gaming venture and the acquisition of IndiGG DAO. The seed round was led by Accel, with participation from investors including Prosus Ventures, Courtside Ventures, Nexus Venture Partners, Nazara and others.

The company provided income opportunities for 150,000 gamers amounting to INR 5 crore within a span of six months. With access to 8.21 lakh gamer communities in South Asia, Kratos Studios, will aim to expand internationally, starting with Brazil.

The gaming venture has witnessed a surge, skyrocketing from 380,000 gamers in January 2023 to an astounding 821,000 by July 2023. With this move the company envisions seamlessly connecting curated gamers from Brazil with Kratos’s 147 esteemed partner game studios hailing from South Korea, Japan, USA, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

Elaborating on this Manish Agarwal, Founder of Kratos Studios articulated, “Our mission is inherently simple, to unlock avenues for gamers to monetize their time and expertise, while also granting them ownership over their valuable data. Given Brazil’s vibrant gaming population, reverence for local gaming heroes, and its status as a burgeoning market, our expansion aligns seamlessly with our overarching ethos.”

Kratos is on a mission to empower gamers with ownership of their data, and is now replicating the successful local model internationally. Notably, the company’s ingenious approach empowers top community members to generate an impressive average income of INR 40,000 per month.

Despite having a population only one-seventh the size of India’s, Brazil’s gaming market outpaces its larger counterpart. An impressive statistic reveals that out of its 220 million residents, over 96 million individuals are part of a fervent gaming community in Brazil, underscoring its potential as a lively and youthful market. Moreover, the country boasts a significantly higher proportion of PC gamers compared to India. These compelling elements spell great promise for Kratos Studios, a well-known entity recognized for its global partnerships with game developers.

This strategic manoeuvre with game developers across East Asia, North America, and Europe, provides undeniable allure for the Brazilian gaming ecosystem. Given their commitment to fostering micro gaming communities aligns with Brazil’s growing gaming market making it a sensible strategic expansion.

Kratos Studios continues to march forward, driven by its remarkable growth and unwavering commitment to its pioneering mission.

Global provider collaborates with major São Paulo-based studio to enhance its operations with class-leading technology

Games Global, a leading supplier of online gaming content, has teamed up with Spin Gaming, a pioneering Brazilian start-up in the live casino sector, to establish the market’s first live dealer studio located and operated in the nation.

Operating since January 2025 from a state-of-the-art studio in São Paulo, Spin Gaming has introduced a Tier A structure to the market, with dedicated studios and localised customer service built in full alignment with national regulations and designed to optimise the customer experience.

Fuelled by Games Global’s agile, cutting-edge technology, Spin Gaming, powered by OnAir, will deliver premium live game streaming and technical support to its partners. Supplementing its local execution with Games Global’s worldwide expertise positions the studio as a prominent new entertainment hub for Brazilian online casinos, with the venture primed for growth in the coming years.

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.

“The partnership with Games Global allows us to leverage its extensive global iGaming expertise to streamline efficiency and elevate the overall quality of our offering as we continue our mission to become the local champion, a household name in the Brazilian live casino space.”

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.
