This integration will allow faster, simpler onboarding of services, backed by the security of a certified partner authorized by the Central Bank and fully compliant with the sector’s regulatory requirements. The partnership expands the range of certified providers available to the ecosystem while strengthening iugu’s footprint in the segment.
Voted the Best iGaming Platform at the 2025 BiS Awards, Cactus holds significant national relevance and serves several major operators in the country, including three of the fifteen largest Brazilian brands.
For iugu, this move represents the expansion of its network of integrated platforms and the opportunity to deliver robust, scalable financial technology to market-leading brands, while reinforcing its commitment to operating within the regulated market alongside partners that share the same purpose. The integration is already implemented and fully operational.
“This integration reinforces our commitment to offering reliable, specialized financial technology designed for high-transaction environments. Being certified on Cactus strengthens our presence in the iGaming ecosystem and connects us with brands leading the sector’s transformation in Brazil,” says Ricardo Destaole, iugu’s Head of Bets.
“We are very pleased to expand our strategic partnerships and help more operators gain access to fast, secure, and fully compliant payment solutions.”
