While we couldn't fly you to Brazil for Easter, we can drop in for some juicy Brazilian news on this post-Páscoa iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove.
Our SBC Notícias Brasil team are here to clue us in on the latest integrity issue in Brazil, as another match-fixing controversy hovers over the country. Flamengo's Bruno Henrique has been indicted following an 18-month investigation. Authorities allege that Henrique conspired to allow friends and family to profit on on him receiving a yellow card in a match in 2023.
Ricardo and Ana give us the details of authorities uncovering almost 4,000 messages that paint the 34 year in a very bad light. What does this mean for Bruno Henrique, and his team Flamengo? What similarities does this have to other spot-fixing scandals in Brazil? And what does this say about Brazilian players, and the country's gambling industry?
In the second half of the pod, Ana rotates into the host's chair as Fernando and SBC Noticias Business Journalist Damian Martinez add their expertise on the Argentinian land-based industry. Fer and Damian address a long-awaited casino tender in the Buenos Aires province. The process is expected to revamp the industry in Argentina, as Córdoba also issues its own land-based gaming licenses.
Some additional reading:
- Bruno Henrique indicted
- PF investigates illegal use of Bolsa Família CPFs on betting sites
- The bidding process for Córdoba's casinos has ended

Call it déjà vu, but Entain once again dominates industry headlines, as the firm orders a £600m bookbuild to acquire STS Group – Poland’s market leading bookmaker - for £750m.
Q2 trading alone has seen it commit almost £1bn in merger and acquisition deals, as STS Group joins 365Scores and Tidal Esports as new properties adding to the ever-expanding portfolio of Entain.
The STS deal saw Entain leadership once more pull the trigger on its ‘local hero’ buyout strategy...Yet this time leadership’s M&A moves have been called out by US investor Eminence Capital as “value-destroying by diluting the company’s shareholding”.
