SCCG NextGen, the talent agency vertical of SCCG Management, proudly announces the renewal of its sponsorship partnership with Thunder Fight and Thunder Fight Center, Brazil’s premier martial arts event organization and training venue. This continued collaboration underscores SCCG’s commitment to supporting innovative sports organizations in emerging markets like Brazil, where MMA is one of the fastest-growing and most exciting sports.

Since its inception in 2014, Thunder Fight has been a launchpad for elite Brazilian MMA talent, with over 27 fighters advancing to the UFC and countless others making their mark on the global stage.

Thunder Fight continues to be recognized as one of Brazil’s top MMA breeding grounds, providing a platform for rising stars in combat sports. Out of all brazilians in the UFC currently, 17% are Thunder Alumni.

Through this renewed partnership, SCCG Management will maintain a powerful brand presence across all Thunder Fight Center events and media promotions, ensuring continuous exposure on the Octagon mat, corner stickers, event posters, social media, and video highlights. This collaboration strengthens SCCG’s influence in Brazil’s thriving sports entertainment industry, fostering engagement with passionate MMA fans and sports bettors alike.

Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management, expressed his enthusiasm for the renewed partnership: “Thunder Fight has played a pivotal role in shaping Brazilian MMA, and we’re honored to continue our support.

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.

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.
