Bragg Gaming is Live in Brazil’s Regulated iGaming Market
Bragg’s proprietary and exclusive content and aggregation businesses are well-positioned to fuel double digit top- and bottom-line growth in 2025, targeting Brazil’s USD 1.4 billion iCasino market, which is expected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2029.

“This latest regulated market launch sets us on a strong trajectory for 2025, helping us deliver our strategic objectives of increased revenue through proprietary, exclusive and aggregated online casino content, while at the same time adding geographical diversity to our revenue streams, promoting stable, long-term growth for the Company.”
Neill Whyte, Chief Commercial Officer at Bragg Gaming Group added: “We’ve been working hard to make sure we have the right content, the right people and the right structures in place to support our Brazilian operator partners from day 1 of market launch, and I’m proud to say we are now live in this exciting market which offers so much potential.
