GMB - How do you evaluate SBC Summit Rio 2025?
Stefanos Karakidis – It is a pleasure to be here again. We are enjoying the fair and everything is going very well. The event is busy, we still have one more day to go, but expectations are positive. Everyone is happy.
What new things did BETBY bring to the event?
We are here to present a new version of our Bet Builder, which has been significantly improved. It now covers 100% of football matches and offers unlimited possibilities for users to create bet slips with statistical markets, goals, assists and much more, in addition to traditional markets such as match winner and total goals.
In addition to Bet Builder, we are also showcased BETBY Games’ exclusive content, with a range of eSports tournaments. We have expanded our leagues and sports, offering more than 200,000 matches per month in this category.
Another new feature was the incorporation of several functionalities based on artificial intelligence, including the personalization of sports bets. Today, more than 15% of our users within partner operators already use this functionality. These are the three major new features we brought to the fair.
How is BETBY adapting to the new regulations in the Brazilian market?
The regulated market came into force recently and there have been many changes. The biggest challenges have been for operators, more than for providers. However, we are proud to say that BETBY acted quickly, obtaining the necessary certifications. We were the first sports betting provider to receive this certification and we also achieved the GLI-33 certification, which opens doors not only in Brazil, but throughout Latin America.
Despite this, operators still face challenges and some uncertainty, especially regarding the new rules on sponsorship and tournaments with players under 18 years of age. We are working hand in hand with our partners to adapt to the new market reality.
In a competitive market like Brazil, what sets BETBY apart?
We have the most complete sports betting solution in the industry. We offer more than 350,000 matches per month, both pre-match and live, with almost 200,000 of them being eSports.
Another major differentiator is the incorporation of artificial intelligence, which improves the personalization of content according to each region and player profile. Furthermore, our Bet Builder is the most complete in the industry, allowing us to combine traditional markets with statistics such as goals and assists. Our solution is much more flexible than any other on the market, and this is reflected in the trust of our partners and the company's significant growth over the last year.
What are the biggest opportunities for BETBY in Brazil?
Market regulation also brings challenges for operators, who are looking for reliable suppliers and robust technological solutions. At BETBY, we have shown that we are a solid and flexible partner, capable of facing these challenges.
We see many opportunities for growth in Brazil, especially in this year of adaptation to regulation. We believe that our innovative approach and our complete portfolio will attract more and more operators looking for a reliable partner.
How do you see the future of the iGaming and sports betting market in Brazil?
There are still many challenges, as the market is not yet fully mature. We believe that in the next 6 to 8 months there will be more adjustments, especially regarding the regulation of eSports and leagues for under-18s.
From 2026 onwards, we expect a more structured market, ready to receive more foreign and local investments. With more brands operating and more licenses being granted, Brazil will consolidate itself as one of the most promising markets in the world.
