Leading Latin American sports betting brand Betcris has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) strengthening the association’s monitoring and alert coverage for the region. The brand has been owned by TV Global Enterprises Limited since 2006 and offers online sports betting services in many countries throughout the world. It is however particularly strong in the emerging Latin American betting market where it also operates retail premises. Betcris is the second operator to join IBIA since the start of 2020, with five new members joining in 2019.

Khalid Ali, CEO of the International Betting Integrity Association, said: “I’m delighted to welcome one of the leading sports betting brands in Latin America to IBIA. Betcris is a major investor in sport with a number of sponsorship deals in place, including the Brasileiro Série A, and is well-placed to strengthen our monitoring coverage of existing and emerging markets in the region. I hope that other LatAm operators will follow Betcris’ example and highlight their commitment to integrity by also joining the world’s largest operator-run sports betting association.”

JD Duarte, CEO of Betcris, said: “Integrity has always been at the core of our approach to a responsible and sustainable business model and this has become more important than ever during this difficult trading period. Being part of an integrity monitoring body is also increasingly becoming both a licensing requirement and business necessity as the Brazilian sports betting law and other recent legislative developments show. IBIA is the global leader on integrity and Betcris looks forward to working with it to protect sports and our business from corruption.”

The International Betting Integrity Association is the leading global voice on integrity for the licensed betting industry. It is run by operators for operators, protecting its members from corruption through collective action. Its monitoring and alert platform is a highly effective anti-corruption tool that detects and reports suspicious activity on its members’ betting markets. The association has longstanding information sharing partnerships with leading sports and gambling regulators to utilise its data and prosecute corruption. It represents the sector at high-level policy discussion forums such as the IOC, UN, Council of Europe and European Commission.

Meridianbet has successfully advanced to the next stage in Brazil’s exclusive sports betting and iGaming licensing process. The company is one of only 89 operators (from over 600 initial applicants) shortlisted at the federal level by the Brazilian Ministry of Finance. This shortlist grants operators permission to continue offering sports betting and iGaming services nationwide during the adaptation period, which runs until December 31, 2024.
This important step places Meridianbet among an elite group of global operators as Brazil approaches the launch of one of the most highly anticipated gaming markets in the world. With non-listed companies set to be prohibited from offering services starting October 11, 2024, inclusion on this shortlist highlights Meridianbet’s technological excellence, commitment to compliance, and its focus on responsible gambling and strategic market planning.
The company’s proprietary platform, which has undergone rigorous testing, along with its comprehensive marketing strategies and responsible gambling policies, positions it as a key player in the future of Brazil’s gaming industry. The application covers both sports betting and iGaming (online casino) under Brazil’s licensing regime, allowing Meridianbet to provide a full suite of gaming experiences to Brazilian players.
Brazil’s gambling market is forecasted to generate $34 billion in sports betting turnover by 2028, with an onshore gross win of $2.8 billion, according to a report by the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). Unlike the state-by-state regulatory approach in the U.S., this federal-level licensing will grant nationwide access, enabling the company to tap into Brazil’s rapidly growing market and diverse player base.
As part of the Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), Meridianbet is leveraging global expertise and proprietary technology to strengthen its position in Brazil, ensuring it remains at the forefront of this emerging market.
