Brazil’s sports betting market, now formally regulated, is on a trajectory to become one of the world’s most significant, with online gross gaming revenue projected to more than double by 2029. Sportradar, a leading sports technology company, is strategically positioning itself to capitalize on this growth, reinforcing its commitment with the opening of its first Brazilian office in 2024. This move marks a pivotal step in its expansion across Latin America, building on nearly a decade of engagement with Brazil’s sports leagues, federations, and regulators.

With the potential to become one of the largest regulated sports betting markets globally, Brazil’s industry is set for dynamic growth. Sportradar’s Chief Commercial Officer, Ed Blonk, highlighted the company’s strategy at its Investor Day, emphasizing the importance of local presence and understanding market dynamics to optimize product and content strategies. This approach has already proven successful in the U.S., where Sportradar’s partnerships with major sports leagues contributed to significant revenue growth.

In Brazil, Sportradar has established key partnerships with major leagues and federations, including the Brazilian soccer Federation (CBF) and the volleyball federation (CBV), to support sports integrity and monitor betting activities. Its advanced bet monitoring platform employs AI-driven technology to detect suspicious betting patterns, playing a crucial role in combating match-fixing and ensuring the market’s credibility.

Beyond sports betting, Sportradar is exploring opportunities in iGaming, leveraging its comprehensive product portfolio and marketing services to reach new clients. CEO Carsten Koerl outlined the company’s vision to integrate sports betting with iGaming, starting with customer acquisition in sports. This strategic expansion underscores Sportradar’s long-term commitment to Brazil, aligning with the country’s evolution into a hub for regulated sports betting and iGaming.
