Sports betting was approved by the Brazilian government at the end of 2018 through Law 13,756. Even still in the process of regulation, Brazil's entry into this billion-dollar market requires a solid foundation to be implemented efficiently and appropriately. In this sense, the arrival of Genius Sports is great news. A global leader in sports data technology, the London-based company comes to Brazil to monitor and ensure integrity in the sport.
To mark its arrival in the country, Genius Sports will promote a press conference in São Paulo, on October 1st. The next day, the executives of the English company attend the Sports Integrity Summit in Brasilia. The event will be in partnership with the International Governance and Risk Institute (GovRisk) and will bring together leading opinion makers, regulators, sport leaders and experts in a debate on how best to collectively protect the integrity of Brazilian sport and its future in the marketplace of sports betting.
