GMB – What were Weebet's goals in attending a trade show in Europe?
Lenildo Nogueira – First of all, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to speak with you and apologize for my voice, as I have met with so many clients that it is almost gone. So, being in Lisbon is extremely strategic for Weebet. The Brazilian market continues to be our focus, especially now with the regulation, and we are here to find partners, clients, and strategic people. It has been very productive to be at the SBC Summit in Lisbon.
To have your voice like this, you must have explained to a lot of people that the Weebet platform is already ready for the regulated Brazilian market…
It's true. Weebet has been investing in professionalization for a long time, and it wasn’t just recently that we started preparing for the regulated market. We've been working on this with partners and the certification body, GLI, for quite some time. When the market started requiring standards due to regulation, we were already ready to deliver what the government demanded.
So, it was very important for us to anticipate this to be ready. We met the needs of our clients and gained new clients precisely because we were prepared for the regulated market.
Weebet’s expansion is also evident with the opening of an office in São Paulo. Is the goal to expand the base to serve all of Brazil?
We know that the Northeast is very strong in the betting industry, but we understand the economic power of the Southeast region, especially São Paulo. That’s why it was strategic to bring our team and have a presence in São Paulo to be closer to our clients. After all, it’s something we value highly, having our doors open to receive clients and partners. Even though it’s an online business, we really appreciate in-person interaction and direct contact, and being in São Paulo is strategic for us.
What are Weebet’s next plans and steps in this new regulated Brazilian market?
First, I would like to say that we are very optimistic about everything that’s coming. The regulated market brings new challenges, but we see it as an immense opportunity. We understand that we will be working with increasingly robust operators, and we are prepared for that. We will take Weebet and our partners to the top of the industry in Brazil. Our partners can count on us for that.
