Rivalo signs content partnership with the comedian Rafinha Bastos
Rivalo continues to trust in the immense potential of the sports betting market in Brazil. After closing relevant agreements with the main American football league in Brazil (BFA), ESPN and the footvolley Mikasa Open, the bookmaker does not stop and is establishing a partnership with comedian and youtuber Rafinha Bastos.
Rafinha Bastos is known for acting as a comedian, actor, presenter and youtuber. In addition, he is a phenomenon on social media, adding 12 million followers on Twitter, 1.5 million people on Instagram and 3 million on Youtube.
In addition, he has been named by the prestigious American newspaper, The New York Times, as the most influential person on Twitter. The comedian was also one of those responsible for the success of the stand-up comedy movement in the country in recent years.
In this way, Rivalo teamed up with the comedian, who, from now on, will regularly produce content for the betting company. Rafinha will use his basketball experience to predict the winners of each stage of the playoffs of the best basketball league in the world. The comedian will use Instagram Stories and Twitter messages to disseminate these actions.
For Rivalo’s Acquisition Manager Brazil, Guilherme Bucchi, this partnership will strengthen the betting company’s brand in the country: “Another big step towards the consolidation of our brand in Brazil. Rafinha is one of the biggest names in humor and has always show’ in the Podcast presentation. Looking forward to seeing the contents of the interviews and following his tips on basketball, a sport he knows very well”, he concluded.
This partnership also covers two Rivalo-sponsored episodes of the ‘Mais Que 8 Minutos’ talk show hosted by the comedian on his Youtube channel. With the insertion of the Rivalo logo and other activations throughout the special episodes, Rafinha will receive two former basketball players, Thiago Splitter and Gui Giovanoni.
The choice of two great names in basketball is directly related to Rafinha Bastos’ past. That’s because the comedian was a basketball player in 1999, 2000 and 2001. With more than two meters tall, Rafinha acted as a pivot in teams in Brazil and even in the United States in the university division.
The initial episode was shown on April 18 with guest Fred, from Desimpedidos, who in a relaxed chat addressed topics such as the World Cup, friendship with football players, fame and other subjects.
Another episode that will be aired soon with the support of Rivalo, will be with the fighter of mixed martial arts (MMA), Brazilian, specialist in jiu-jitsu and currently in the UFC, Demian Maia.

Delasport Now GLI-Certified for Sports Betting in Brazil
Delasport has just become one of the first suppliers to obtain a GLI certification for its sportsbook in Brazil, two weeks before the historical regulation comes into effect.
Continuing its global growth, Delasport is bringing several operators on board in Brazil. In order to complete the process, operators that are applying for a new Brazilian license have 30 days to provide all relevant platform certificates from the moment that they are notified by the regulator that their initial submission has been accepted. This is also the moment that they can pay the license fee. Still, failure to provide platform certificates will result in the application being placed on hold.
Delasport turned to Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) for the certification of its sportsbook against Brazilian technical standards. The historical partnership with GLI was further strengthened by the news, a few months back, that GLI had become the first laboratory to achieve the local accreditation to certify for betting systems, live game studios, and online games by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) in Brazil.
Delasport has successfully met all technical requirements for providing its sports betting solution to the largest country in South America. The certificate is evidence of the team’s experience, expertise, and determination to lead the way in key jurisdictions.
Obtaining a GLI certification for Brazil is a step towards cementing the trust players and operators have for Delasport’s products. This serves to show that the award-winning supplier is capable of meeting even the strictest industry standards for integrity and fairness.
“When we learnt that providing platform certificates to the regulator was on our partner operators’ critical path for obtaining the license, we immediately prioritized submitting the system to GLI for testing”, Delasport’s Chief Compliance Officer Filippo Ferri said. “Needless to say, GLI did a tremendous job of working with us to conduct the tests in record time, to match the submission deadline of some of our clients. I am also very proud of how our internal departments worked together to obtain this certificate, and of how they continue to push forward with the delivery of a datavault system that complies with SIGAP requirements.”
Operators that plan on entering the newly regulated Brazilian market will now have numerous advantages if they partner with Delasport. They will be able to provide their players with personalization features like My Sportsbook, My Event Builder, and My Combo that skyrocket revenues and retention.
Furthermore, Delasport’s KYC and AML provider is a market leader that guarantees the highest level of compliance for all operators that choose to go on this route.
Also, Delasport has already partnered with numerous local payment system providers and offers a real-time AI-powered Responsible Gambling system which can easily adapt to local regulations.
Last, but not least, operators will feel Delasport’s support from the get-go all the way to establishing themselves as a market leader. Delasport is knowledgeable of cultural and regional differences and can address all localization needs from the early stages of engagement.
