“We are proud that Weebet is recognized as a great Brazilian platform around the world”

In the exclusive interview with GMB, technology director Thiago Faustino revealed the global success of Webeet, highlighting its pioneering integration with Parlaybay in Latin America. According to him, Weebet stands out for its unique understanding of the national market, which allows it to adapt to the different cultures and regions of Brazil. “With the regulation established, it will be natural for international operators to come and look for Weebet,” says the director.


Speaking of technology today means talking about Webeet in Brazil, right?
Thank God, we've been on the right path for some time now. And today, we are recognized as a major Brazilian platform worldwide. It makes us very proud to carry the country's name and this market to the whole planet.

Has this trust led Parlaybay to integrate a game with you, being the first such action in Latin America? Exactly, it's an honor for us, and it shows that we are on the right path and that they trust our work. That's why we are the first platform to integrate with Parlaybay in Latin America, and together we will pursue more innovation, increasingly.

One of Weebet's differentiators is precisely being a Brazilian company focused on the Brazilian market and user. What does this mean in terms of technology development from your end?
Unlike foreign companies, we have a Brazilian perspective on things. We are natives, we speak Portuguese, we know various "Brazils" inside out. In the Northeast, there is one type of game, in the South, another. International platforms don't have this knowledge of Northeastern culture. This is a significant differentiator that makes both Brazilian and international operators seek out Weebet for operations here in Brazil. Because of this knowledge of the culture and the local market.
 


And you have been making more and more enhancements to the platform. Is there anything further to evolve?
Yes, we are eternally dissatisfied, as I always like to say. The iGaming market is very dynamic, with new things constantly emerging, new trends. That's why we're always thinking about the user, the bettor, because the operator's success is our success, we have to ensure that players have the entertainment they deserve, affiliates are well assisted in operations. The entire gaming chain has to be well-served so that the betting house has good results and consequently, everyone else does too.

In this regard, it's not just about serving the operator but also understanding the end-user well?
Exactly, without players, there is no betting house, and without a betting house, there is no platform. So, it's an entire chain that has to be served, and we're here for that, always in search of innovation, as you well know, participating in fairs both in Brazil and abroad.

Speaking of outside Brazil. Does Weebet have plans to expand to other international markets?
I think everything has its moment, and right now, our focus is on the national market. Brazil is a very large country, with continental dimensions, and now, with the long-awaited regulation, there is a lot to grow, and we will seek to consolidate more and more in the local market and continue to be a reference for local operators.

What are your plans when regulation is fully defined?
The first step is for us to adapt so that the operators who already work with us can work fully in accordance with government requirements. Consequently, I think it will be natural for foreign operators to come looking for Weebet because everything will already be regulated for the local market.
