The proximity between sports betting and online gaming with poker is growing, and new players are getting closer to the mind sport every day. This was evident last week in São Paulo when BetPass, an iGaming affiliate company, organized a gathering at Maxx Poker Club.
The event was supported by Sportingtech, a leading global iGaming platform developer, Paag, a major payment solutions company in the industry, and Betfast.io, a sector operator that is increasingly expanding its market presence.
The gathering brought together affiliates, operators, and partners for a moment of fun and networking, showcasing the intersection of the sports betting and online gaming world with the poker segment.
Promoted by BetPass, the event was the first poker tournament organized by the affiliate company, sponsored by Sportingtech, Paag, and Betfast.io. The company took the opportunity to present its Affiliapass program to the attendees, with more than 350 people in attendance.
“Our first poker tournament was exclusive, bringing together the leading names in the iGaming market at Maxx Poker Club. It was an incredible night of games and lots of networking,” highlighted Brenda Silva, Marketing and CRM Manager at BetPass.
Marina Selmi, Regional Sales Manager at Sportingtech and one of the event's sponsors, stated that it was an honor to represent Sportingtech and be surrounded by industry professionals on a special night with lots of pizza, poker, and networking.
João Fraga, CEO of Paag, emphasized that “it is essential for the entire gaming sector to work together to expand business opportunities in the Brazilian market. Poker and iGaming are complementary activities but share a common offering of entertainment. For us at Paag, supporting an event like the one at Maxx Poker means being close to the community that seeks responsible leisure.”
“The result of this combination could not be different; it was a success! We are very happy to participate in moments like this,” he stated.
“Betfast.io’s sponsorship of the BetPass event at Maxx Poker represents the commitment to uniting communities, connecting the world of poker with the growing universe of sports betting, promoting synergy and collaboration between both groups,” says Luís Henrique Ramos, director marketing team at Betfast.io.
In addition to the relaxation, the event featured a raffle of a professional poker set, and the winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) also received a great prize.
