Grupo Silvio Santos selects OpenBet to power media and retail giant’s Sports Betting & Gaming offering
OpenBet, a leading global provider of betting technology, content, and services, has secured a major long-term agreement to launch the new sports betting and gaming brand for Todos Querem Jogar (TQJ), part of Grupo Silvio Santos (GSS), one of the largest Brazilian conglomerates in media (SBT), retail (Jequiti), tourism (Hotel Jequitimar), real estate (SISAN) and redeemable bonds (Liderança Capitalização). OpenBet has been entrusted to power TQJ’s betting and gaming platform, delivering premium entertainment to Brazilian consumers who value GSS’s diverse range of brands.
For over 65 years, GSS has been at the heart of delivering world class entertainment in SBT, including iconic brands and game shows such as Show do Milhão, Gol Show and Passa ou Repassa, and iconic products such as Baú da Felicidade and Tele Sena, two of the most popular capitalization and goods and services consortium products in Brazil. GSS’s shows reach more than 113 million Brazilians every month across more than 100 broadcasters and bring in more than 29 million viewers per day.
TQJ is highly committed to delivering safe, responsible betting and gaming experiences to Brazilians with the aim to be the number one leader for player protection. OpenBet’s strong global reputation, expertise in complex regulatory markets, and focus on responsible gaming and compliance were key defining factors in TQJ choosing the company’s fully compliant solutions.
OpenBet’s comprehensive betting ecosystem will drive TQJ’s operations with its high-performing betting engine to handle significant traffic volumes and zero downtime during major sporting events. Additionally, OpenBet is also enabling TQJ to deliver a comprehensive iGaming experience through its player account management (PAM) platform, providing a unified platform for managing promotions across both sports and casino verticals.
The sportsbook is strengthened with the immersive BetBuilder experience, enabling players to create personalized bets and tailor their betting experience. OpenBet’s Managed Trading Services (MTS) will deliver secure and seamless operations through its 24/7 risk management and expert guidance.
World class responsible gaming and anti-money laundering (AML) technology, powered by Neccton, will be at the heart of TQJ’s new offering to ensure it maintains the highest standards of player protection. OpenBet Locator, an advanced geolocation solution powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), will allow the operator to be fully compliant with Brazil’s strict regulatory requirements.
Leonardo Sampaio, CIO of GSS, said: “We’re excited to work alongside OpenBet, a global leader that sets the industry standard for delivering trustworthy and compliant betting operations. For TQJ, it is imperative we offer superior betting experiences that are underpinned by robust compliance procedures. OpenBet’s end-to-end ecosystem and overall company values provide us with peace of mind that we are working alongside the best company to launch us into the regulated sports betting and gaming market.”
José Roberto Maciel, CEO of GSS said: “Considering OpenBet’s heritage of working alongside iconic media entertainment brands and state-owned organizations, TQJ is firmly positioned to lead the way in Brazil by offering responsible gaming, beyond what is required by legislation, and new product experiences that will capture the imagination of players.”
Jordan Levin, CEO of OpenBet, said: “Grupo Silvio Santos is an iconic group in Brazil’s entertainment sector, and we are truly honored to have been chosen to power its sports betting and gaming brand. Considering the esteemed heritage of both OpenBet and GSS, together we are in a solid position to deliver an engaging and responsible betting experience that will make waves across Brazil’s regulated market. OpenBet sets the highest standards in delivering compliant betting operations, which is attracting major interest from Brazil’s leading entertainment organizations as shown with this latest agreement.”

Better Collective
Network Gaming partners with Better Collective to launch pioneering gaming ecosystem

Network Gaming and BolaVIP launch groundbreaking mobile gaming platform, Ligavip, for Brazilian sports fans
Network Gaming, the next-generation sports games studio, has announced the launch of its mobile-first gaming platform in partnership with Bolavip, one of Brazil’s largest sports media brands and part of the global sports media group Better Collective.
This launch marks a bold step into new territory for Network Gaming — entering the Brazilian market for the first time, and doing so on a mainstream stage that reaches millions of passionate fans. The collaboration sets the scene for a new category of mobile sports games, built for mass appeal and designed to deepen engagement across Bolavip’s vast audience.
Timed to coincide with the start of the main football championship in Brazil, the debut of the Ligavip platform delivered standout early results, including a 15% conversion rate from unique visitors to registered users in its opening weekend.
Unlike traditional models, Ligavip is not tethered to betting. Instead, it opens up an innovative source of new revenues for Better Collective by offering free-to-play games powered by branded prizes, such as shopping vouchers from one of the country’s top sports retailers, awarded to the best performers in Ligavip challenges. Players can compete for rewards, challenge their friends for bragging rights, and monitor their performance on live leaderboards in a community-first environment.
“We’re stepping onto a new stage — launching in Brazil, partnering with one of the most influential sports media groups in the world, certainly in terms of incoming traffic to its assets, and thereby pushing our platform into the mainstream,” said Harry Collins, CEO of Network Gaming. “This is a defining moment for us. It’s not just about great gameplay; it’s about creating sustainable entertainment ecosystems built around loyalty, fun, and fan connection.”
The launch also signals a new phase of development for Network Gaming’s broader platform ambitions. With Ligavip, the company will now be building out advanced meta mechanics — systems layered on top of gameplay such as daily rewards, progression loops, and upgrades — designed to boost long-term retention. Combined with powerful social features like leaderboards, invite-a-friend mechanics, and community leagues, these systems turn simple games into sticky, social experiences.
Tomás Vaz de Carvalho, COO South America at Better Collective, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with Network Gaming to bring a new kind of interactive sports experience to Brazil. This is about engaging fans in a fresh, rewarding way — and opening up new commercial avenues that align with global digital trends. Gaming is now a key pillar in many media strategies, and this partnership puts us right at the forefront.”
As traditional media looks for new ways to engage and monetise its audience, initiatives like Ligavip are becoming a strategic pillar. (The New York Times now generates more revenue from its games portfolio than its core news content.) This collaboration allows Better Collective and Network Gaming to stay ahead of the curve — creating experiences that are fun, valuable, and aligned with global digital entertainment trends.
