Top-performing slots from Nolimit City now live on SkillOnNet brands in Brazil

Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet has expanded its partnership with trailblazing slot developer Nolimit City, launching the studio’s full catalogue of games in Brazil via its popular local brands PlayUZU.bet.br and BacanaPlay.bet.br.

Players across the country can now sink their teeth into some of Nolimit City’s most strikingly unconventional titles, including Duck Hunters, Fire in the Hole 3, and Tombstone Slaughter.

Nolimit City’s games pack a punch like nothing else on the market, blending powerful storytelling and stunning artwork with distinctive mechanics to deliver an exceptional gaming experience. It’s this kind of fresh, provocative content that SkillOnNet sees as a great fit for the fast-evolving Brazilian market.

Brazil launched its newly regulated online betting and gaming market on January 1 2025. SkillOnNet moved quickly to secure licensing and is in a strong position to lead in what’s now one of the hottest markets in global iGaming.

Jani Kontturi at SkillOnNet said: “Partnering with Nolimit City in Brazil feels like a no-brainer. They create the kind of content that cuts through the noise – bold, original, and different. That’s exactly what we’re seeing resonate in Brazil.”

Malcolm Mizzi, COO and Commercial Director at Nolimit City said: “From the very beginning, we’ve had our eyes on Brazil, being one of the first providers to certify our games in the region. We’re really excited to go live with SkillOnNet, and our roadmap doesn’t lie. We’ll be bringing even more bold and exciting content to the Brazilian audience. Stay tuned!”

When you think of micro-influencers and communities, there’s a good chance you think of social media. Influencers are a product of the online world, and until now, this is where they have always existed. There is, however, a change beginning to happen, especially in the world of sports influencers.

Content creators, while still conducting the bulk of their business online, are now beginning to create active communities in the real world through organised events. This provides businesses with the opportunity to collaborate with them and shine a spotlight on their products, giving potential customers the chance to experience them firsthand.

An Influencer Revolution

This influencer revolution, if you will, is happening in streets and parks all around the world. Currently, there is a trend, particularly in the fitness and sports influencer space, for active involvement and building real-world communities. This trend presents some incredible opportunities both for micro-influencers and the brands they represent.

Trends are, by their very nature, cyclical, and we are starting to see a major shift in the way people want to engage with one another. We have spent the last decade or more glued to our screens, building communities, swiping right, and creating digital relationships. There is a growing revolt against this type of interaction.

Head down to your local park a few evenings a week, and there is a good chance you will see a stampede of active young people come flying past you, chatting with one another and very often wearing the same sports gear.

The running club boom is just one example of how online communities are now beginning to engage in the real world. Micro-influencers are starting to organize meet-ups and host events, all of which are encouraged to drive engagement and foster real-world connections.

Gen Z audiences, in particular, have shown a strong craving for authenticity, and this shift into the real world highlights that. Social media allows people to build carefully curated profiles, but this is stripped back when you attend one of these events and get a chance to really engage with communities.

A Unique Opportunity

This genuine engagement presents a powerful opportunity for sports brands and marketers, and we are seeing it unfold in real-time. A quick Google search of run clubs or meet-ups taking place in New York in June 2025 shows sponsored events from Lululemon, Gym Shark, and several other major brands.

There are also several coffee shops within the city hosting running clubs, and some holding hiking events and a monthly cycle.

These are moving endorsements from online to the real world. Let’s say, for example, you are a small sports shop in Austin and you want to target customers in the city. Teaming up with a local micro-influencer and hosting a running event or hike with them will not only get you exposure, but it will also allow you to let attendees try your products.

This has been extremely effective for many sports brands in the last few years, and given the current appetite for these kinds of events and clubs, you can rest assured that if they like your product, attendees will do the heavy lifting for you on social media.

Brand Benefits

What’s more, these kinds of events are extremely cost-effective. You don’t need to spend any money setting up the event; all you need to do is create a partnership with a micro-influencer, provide them with some free samples, and you’re good to go. Of course, the more involved you are with the event, the better.

Unlike many social media opportunities, these in-person events can be an excellent way for micro-influencers and brands to interact in real-time. This presents a unique opportunity to showcase shared values, demonstrate products, and genuinely engage with potential customers.

Of course, this also helps the online influence of micro-influencers grow stronger. Once people have had a chance to engage with online communities in real life, they are more likely to keep that engagement going online. This, in turn, empowers the endorsements of micro-influencers, which is hugely beneficial for businesses.

This change also marks a new era in the world of digital and social media marketing. Businesses now have the chance to collaborate in the real world, and we at SGG Media have a network of micro-influencers who have the power to make these kinds of events and interactions happen. Marketing evolves, and this is an exciting new era that businesses should look to throw their arms around and embrace.
