OpenBet, a leading platform, trading & risk, content and services provider to the sports betting industry, has signed a major partnership with Play7.Bet, marking the company’s entry into Brazil’s new and highly anticipated regulated sports betting market.

It is estimated that Brazil could become one of the biggest gambling markets in the world, with data from H2 Gambling Capital forecasting the country will generate gross gaming revenues of up to $6.4 billion annually. OpenBet is fully equipped to exceed local market standards and deliver safe and exciting sports betting experiences to one of the largest regulated markets with an adult population of tens of millions of adults.

OpenBet’s unrivalled modular product suite once again proves to be the trusted choice for operators looking to enter new markets and make an immediate impact. Play7.Bet will take a full stack of products and services including the company’s highly versatile Betting Engine and Managed Trading Services, widely recognized for their excellence by facilitating and managing huge volumes of bets at scale on a consistent basis across the world.

In addition, the operator will utilize OpenBet’s Player Account Management (PAM) technology, enabling the new sportsbook brand to provide the ultimate multi-vertical player experience by offering additional layers of promotional, customer relationship management, AML and responsible gaming tools. The PAM offers operators access to a massive and growing network of partner product and service providers, with investment in local partnerships in Brazil ensuring the best combination of global and local solutions.

Amidst these developments, OpenBet has elevated its protection capabilities through the strategic integration of Neccton, a leader in responsible gaming, AML, and fraud detection. This allows the supplier to seamlessly combine its advanced sports betting technology with cutting-edge cloud and AI features, taking its commitment to player protection to the next level.

The collaboration with Play7.Bet further demonstrates the company’s ability to supply its industry-leading and comprehensive range of technology, content and services to operators worldwide.

Our sports-first approach to product – platform development is unique and with 25 years of success entering and developing regulated markets, OpenBet is in the perfect position to help partners like Play7 win in this market.

For this reason, we are pleased and honored to have been selected to work with Play7 in Brazil.”
