Wagner Fernandes, CMO of the B2B platform company, states:
“It is always a pleasure to be in Brazil and closely follow the market and our clients. Although this is a period of regulatory transition, it is also an exciting time for Brazilians who are now structuring the industry to welcome players in a safer, more responsible, and well-organized way. It requires adaptation, but it also draws attention and focus, becoming an ocean of opportunities that we are ready to seize to the fullest.”
With the event taking place close to Carnival, Oddsgate will bring even more color and energy to the conference, blending innovation with the
vibrant atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro, especially during this festive season.

- Wagner Fernandes, CMO of Oddsgate, will present the results of
the study “The End of Gaming as We Know It? Research Reveals
Predictions for 2050” on February 27 at 1:40 PM in Conference Room

Virtual Reality, and new forms of betting could completely redefine
the market in the coming decades. - Guilherme Graziani, Head of Business Development – Latin America,

Looking ahead to the future of iGaming:
Recently, Oddsgate published a study on 2025 trends, focusing on acquisition, retention, and engagement, which is still available for
download on the company’s website. Now, it goes further, expanding its vision to 2050, exploring topics such as predictive artificial intelligence, quantum cryptocurrencies, and neurais interfaces.
“With so many changes happening, we noticed many questions and few answers. How will technology impact the player experience? How can operators and regulators prepare? These are some of the questions that guided us in this study. Now, with this in hand, we can fulfill our goal of providing information and predictive scenarios that offer strategic guidance for operators, regulators, and global stakeholders,” states Fernandes.
In this exclusive SBC presentation, Oddsgate’s CMO will reveal the study’s key findings for the first time. Attendees will also be able to access the complete material firsthand before its official release.
Even though the future remains uncertain, Oddsgate reaffirms its commitment to research, innovation, and delivering strategic insights to
the market. Despite being a young company, soon celebrating its third anniversary, it has already proven its ability to grow and empower the
operations of clients and partners worldwide.
Oddsgate focuses on aligning innovation with integrity, ensuring that technological advancements enhance the player experience while promoting security, transparency, and trust within the betting community.

Expanse Studios (GMGI) Obtains Croatian iGaming Certification

Expanse Studios, the B2B game development division of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has received official certification from Croatia’s Ministry of Finance for its flagship game Super Heli, with additional titles in the company’s 56-game portfolio expected to receive approval in the coming weeks for the EU member state.
The certification marks a strategic entry into a market that generated US$484.70m in 2024, with projected growth at a CAGR of 8.4% during 2024-2030. Super Heli, Expanse’s most popular crash-style game, becomes the first of the studio’s titles approved for the Croatian market, paving the way for broader portfolio distribution.
Tapping Into High-Growth European Market
Croatia represents a compelling opportunity for B2B gaming suppliers, with the Online Casinos segment alone projected at US$218.10m in 2024. According to iGamingToday’s latest market research, Croatia’s gambling market will reach €720.42 million by 2025, making it one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.
Among the key market benefits are:
- Accelerating digital adoption – Internet penetration jumped from 76% in 2020 to 83% in 2023
- Over 20.6 million tourist arrivals in 2023 following Schengen Zone entry
- Over 500,000 Croatians expected to engage in regular online gambling by 2027
Strategic Value for the Company
The certification strengthens Expanse Studios’ European footprint at a critical juncture. With 56 proprietary titles and 500+ B2B partners globally, Expanse is expected to capture a meaningful share in the growing EU market.
“Croatia certification is more than market access—it’s validation of our content quality and compliance capabilities in demanding EU jurisdictions,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios. “With our flagship title Super Heli already approved and more games in the pipeline, we’re very excited for the opportunities this markets brings us”
Competitive Advantage in Regulated Markets
Croatia’s regulatory framework favors established, compliant B2B providers. Operators must obtain licenses requiring significant capital investment, and only licensed casino games operators who have at least one brick-and-mortar casino can offer online gambling. This creates high barriers to entry and positions certified B2B suppliers like Expanse as essential partners for operators.
