Operating for about three years in Brazil, EstrelaBet has stood out in the Brazilian sports betting market as one of the strongest companies in the sector. In addition to important sponsorships of football clubs (field and indoor), the company stands out with an operation focused on the customer, so that he has the best experience in the betting area.
Fellipe Fraga, COO, spoke with GMB about the current moment of EstrelaBet in the pre-regulation scenario of sports betting and guaranteed to be very excited about the possibility of regulation happening as soon as possible.
GMB - What are your expectations regarding the regulation of sports betting so that you can work even more in the Brazilian market?
Felipe Fraga - Expectations are very positive. Regulation is necessary to make the market safer for companies, customers and for Brazil itself. The country is failing to collect a lot due to the lack of regulation. Estrelabet is a very strict company, maybe it is even paying more tax while the regulation doesn't come. So we are ready for when it comes; we will work to be one of the pioneers in this Brazilian license and together with the entire industry. Fortunately, we have a very united sector for everyone to keep growing. Sports betting is in the culture of society as entertainment and is extremely important for the country.
We've already felt it on the streets with customers; they are enjoying this opportunity for leisure and entertainment with betting, to give the football game even more adrenaline and earn money. We are here to bring everyone, from industry partners to customers, this development opportunity by taking the Estrelabet project forward.
Do you leave the Brazilian iGaming Summit excited, not only because of your business contacts, but also because of the information you heard in the event?
Clear. BiS is always a very good opportunity for us to know what has been happening, also understanding the minds of those who are directly involved in this regulatory process. We have the congressmen, the people from the Executive Branch who are working to make this happen, we are very grateful to all of them who are helping us and fighting for Brazil. This is indeed a fight for Brazil. It is always a very good opportunity to learn and to prepare us for what is to come.
And of course, BiS in terms of business contacts and new relationships is always amazing. It's our chance to bring together the entire Brazilian community that works in the iGaming industry to show our strength to the world with more and more foreigners showing up, presenting what Brazil is in iGaming; I'm sure that very soon we will be a great reference in the industry.
What does it mean for you and EstrelaBet to have received an outstanding recognition at the Brazilian iGaming Awards?
For us it is a great joy. We have been operating for three years, we are a relatively new company in the market, we have many colleagues who have been in this betting culture for a long time. We want to be a reference, the best sports betting house in Brazil for the customer, so that he feels happy that with EstrelaBet he is among the best. We were already very honored with the nomination, even more with the award. An accomplishment of all this time that I have particularly dedicated to EstrelaBet, grateful to all partners and collaborators, grateful to the entire management for the trust placed in me. And now, with this success crowned by the industry, I am very grateful to all our colleagues who voted for EstrelaBet.
It's an industry acknowledgment, right?
Exactly. That's what's important. The industry colleagues themselves saw us, our work, and this is a reason for great joy for us because we trust these people. These votes we received are from people who understand a lot about iGaming, who travel around the world talking about it; and for them to look at EstrelaBet and recognize it as the best sports betting operator in Brazil is a great gift and affection for us. We left here with a smile on our face and we hope to have left a mark for everyone involved in BiS.
