“It is the state that has given us the greatest confidence, with a strong economy and advanced technology. It was a great landing point for us,” said Andreas Bardun.

The State of Rio Grande do Sul is the company's large portfolio in Brazil, where it maintains strong partnerships with institutions linked to sport and communication, especially football.

With the growth of the brand in the region, the CEO guarantees that he plans to return the trust he received, generating more jobs and economic opportunities for the ‘gauchos’, as local people is known.

“We have to continue building on what we established here. We want to expand our knowledge in iGaming in this state and, in the future, when there is regulation, create many jobs and generate new business in Rio Grande do Sul. This is our home,” concluded Andreas.

According to Bardun, the company projects the creation of ten thousand direct and indirect jobs in the state, as soon as the regulation of gambling and casinos is implemented in Brazil.
