Brazil-Focused Operator Galera.bet Joins Betting Integrity Body IBIA
A non-profit organization, the IBIA is active on six continents and operates a highly effective anti-corruption monitoring and alert network
Galera.bet, a sports betting brand of Match Time Solutions BV, has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). The online operator is primarily focused on Brazil and this decision fulfils its regulatory obligation under the recently-published Provisional Measure to join an international body for monitoring sports integrity.
Galera.bet is an official sponsor of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the Brazilian Basketball Confederation and Brazilian 3×3 Basketball Tour. The operator joins nearly 50 companies and over 125 leading sports betting brands in IBIA, further strengthening its position as the world’s leading operator-run integrity monitoring body.
The IBIA announced its expansion into Brazil earlier this year ahead of the expected regulation of the market. The Brazilian government’s subsequent Provisional Measure published on July 25 includes a requirement for licensed operators to be part of an international body for monitoring sports integrity.
According to H2 Gambling Capital, the leading independent authority on global gambling market data, IBIA members are estimated to already account for over 60% of the Brazilian remote gambling market. That leading market position will enable the IBIA to provide a highly accurate analysis and effective deterrent against betting related fraud, making it uniquely positioned to support a crack-down on match-fixing in Brazil.
Galera.bet is committed to working in partnership with the IBIA to prevent and detect corruption in sport and to offer a reliable product to its customers.
“We are honored to work with the IBIA and to be able to reinforce our purpose of developing business with integrity as our priority,” the Chief Executive Officer for Galera.bet, Marcos Sabiá, said. “We believe that collaboration between partners is extremely important to protecting the integrity of sport and betting markets from corruption. We hope this is the beginning of a long and successful partnership.”
“We welcome Galera.bet’s decision to join the IBIA, which further strengthens the IBIA’s position ahead of the Brazilian market opening,” the Chief Executive Officer for the IBIA, Khalid Ali, said. “It recognizes the unique benefits of the IBIA’s operator-run integrity monitoring network and its ability to track members’ individual consumer transactional activity rather than just analyzing simple odds movements. No other sports integrity solution provides access to this data which covers over US$137 billion in annual betting turnover, making the IBIA the largest and most effective integrity network of its kind globally.”
The IBIA is a not-for-profit body that has no competing conflicts with the delivery of commercial services to other sectors and is run by operators for operators to protect regulated sports betting markets, especially for sports and consumers, from match-fixing. The IBIA’s global monitoring network is a highly effective anti-corruption tool, detecting and reporting suspicious activity in regulated betting markets. Through the IBIA monitoring network, it is possible to track transactional activities linked to individual customer accounts.
Responsible regulated sports betting operators have a significant incentive to help crack-down on match-fixing and the IBIA intends to be at the forefront of that preventative action in Brazil. As part of that process, the IBIA has signed a sports betting integrity protection agreement with the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR). The IBIA will be providing integrity services for its members licensed in Brazil and is open to membership applications from other operators seeking to be active in this and other markets.
All IBIA members are required to pass a strict due diligence process and commit to its code of conduct. The association recently released its Q2 integrity report detailing 50 alerts reported in the quarter. The IBIA reported 268 alerts to the authorities in 2022 with successful sporting or criminal sanctions against 15 teams, officials or players where the IBIA had reported suspicious activity on their matches.

ThrillTech secures regulatory approvals to launch jackpots in Latam

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.

EstrelaBet to offer Opta-powered stats markets and premium live football streaming in extensive partnership with Stats Perform

Customers of leading Brazilian gaming tech company, EstrelaBet, are set to enjoy more innovative and entertaining betting experiences for the world’s top football competitions after the operator today announced an extensive partnership with sports data and AI leader Stats Perform.
The multi-year agreement for Stats Perform’s ‘Bet LiveStreams’ content and technology provide EstrelaBet customers the ability to watch and bet on nearly 20,000+ premium men’s and women’s professional football matches a year, across 80 global competitions, providing round-the-clock, year-round exciting betting action.
It includes some the most popular football competitions played globally, featuring some of Brazilian football’s top talent, including Spain’s LaLiga, the English Football League (EFL) and Carabao Cup, multiple Concacaf competitions and internationals, and wide coverage of South American competitions in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Mexico, as well as prominent leagues played in Asia.
EstrelaBet will also offer innovative player and team stats betting markets powered by detailed live Opta data, thrilling bettors with every shot, foul, and tackle. Altenar, an accredited Opta for Betting partner, will create and settle unique markets for more than 90 global competitions and 11,000+ games a year – a growing number, due to huge demand from operators and bettors globally. These significant product upgrades solidify EstrelaBet’s leading position within the regulated Brazilian betting market and prime it to achieve its ambitious growth targets.
Fellipe Fraga, CBO (Chief Business Officer) at EstrelaBet, said, “These are two major upgrades for EstrelaBet. Firstly, it’s vital for customer trust for us to build stats betting experiences with the same consistently-collected football data used globally by the biggest professional teams, broadcasters and media, and that is Opta. Secondly, the quality and scale of Stats Perform’s premium live streaming package means our customers can quickly watch lots of the games they’re betting on, which further increases their entertainment and enjoyment from our sportsbook.”
Steve Xeller, Chief Revenue Officer at Stats Perform, added, “Live streaming creates the ultimate trusted and entertaining in-play betting experience, and we’ve built a popular official rights portfolio, especially in football, delivered through award-winning technology. We’ve also invested heavily in expanding the range of competitions covered by our specialist Opta API for sportsbooks. These investments ensure that operators like EstrelaBet, and partners like Altenar, can create personalised, innovative, and engaging sports betting experiences. We look forward to seeing the results they achieve”.
Earlier in 2025, Bet LiveStreams was named Industry Innovation of the Year – South America at SBC Americas, and Live Streaming Supplier of the Year at the EGR Awards – an acknowledgement of the impact Stats Perform’s Bet LiveStreams service has on elevating in-play betting experiences in regulated betting markets.
Stats Perform’s multi-award-winning, trusted Opta data API has also established itself as the gold standard in football statistics for teams, leagues, broadcasters, live scores apps and sportsbooks, providing the critical data for products like same-game multis and player props that have become hugely popular with bettors.
