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. Of the 27, many are current international stars, such as Diego Lopes, Jailton Almeida, Caio Borralho, Natalia Silva and Marina Rodriguez. With over 84 registered competitions and 398 MMA Matches, the organization has built a legacy of excellence, hosting legends such as Jorge Patino Macaco, Reginaldo Vieira, and Elias Silverio. 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.

Global iGaming solutions provider, WA. Technology has earned Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) certification in Brazil for its casino aggregator product as it looks to expand its presence in South America.

Certification for its standalone casino aggregator product allows WA Technology to increase its range of integrated iGaming content supplied to operators in the Brazilian market.

This ever-expanding catalogue of content includes tens of thousands of games, cementing it as a more trusted partner for operators seeking to thrive in this market, with the added assurance that it fully complies with Brazilian regulatory requirements.

Meeting the necessary requirements for the casino product builds on WA Technology’s strong record in the region, where it already has an established presence and certified platform, with an experienced team of professionals based out of an office in Recife. This gives the business a unique understanding of the players in the country and the team to simplify any complexities that may arise for operators.

By making the aggregator a standalone product, the team can provide content to operators who are not already on the WA Technology platform, joining the likes of F12 Bet, which already uses the full turnkey sportsbook, casino and player account management.

The certification follows on from recent launches such as its Pick’Em player products for stats-led gameplay and Sportsbook Managed Service, to provide operators with more services and opportunities to grow.

Commenting on the certification, Phyllyp Sedicias, WA. Technology’s
Country Director for Brazil said: “This is a significant milestone for the business and signals our intent to expand further into the Brazilian market. I’m proud of the team’s hard work to secure this certificate and allow us to meet the market demands for casino games within this region.
“GLI certification for our casino aggregator product means we can now provide operators with additional opportunities to enhance their content through an experienced team with a proven track record in the region, which we look forward to growing our partnerships even further.”

Evolution has announced the launch of its first-ever live casino studio in São Paulo, Brazil, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion in Latin America. The cutting-edge facility is purpose-built to meet the unique demands of Brazil’s rapidly expanding regulated iGaming market.

Following the regulation of Brazil’s online gaming sector in January 2025, Evolution became the country’s first licensed supplier on day one of the new legal framework. The opening of this studio further underscores Evolution’s commitment and investment in the region.

The new state-of-the-art studio will initially offer multiple variants of native Brazilian Portuguese-speaking Blackjack tables, including Blackjack Clássico, Blackjack Illimitado, and Brazilian Blackjack.

Global fan-favourites such as Crazy Time, and XXXtreme Lightning Roulette will be fully localised and launched in Brazil – delivering world-class entertainment with a distinctly Brazilian flavour. Rounding out the line-up, ICE Fishing – Evolution’s flagship global release for 2025 – will also be customised for the local market and streamed from the new Brazil-based studio.

Natalia Torres, Evolution’s Head of Region Latin America, commented: “We are proud to unveil Brazil’s first fully localised live casino studio. This is a major milestone not only for Evolution but also for the future of regulated iGaming in Brazil. With our industry-proven formats, robust local infrastructure, and unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance, we’re empowering operators to go live with content that genuinely connects with Brazilian players.”

Torres added: “The new studio affords us full flexibility to customise everything – from game selection and dealer language to branding and marketing support. It sets a new benchmark for quality and localisation in Brazil, enabling our partners to deliver a premium, trusted, and highly engaging player experience from day one.”
