Rei do Pitaco has secured one of Brazil’s first definitive licenses to operate online sports betting and gaming. The approval came from the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA), placing the company among an exclusive group of 14 operators granted full licenses. An additional 52 companies received provisional approvals from the 114 applicants.

Rei do Pitaco plans to expand beyond its daily fantasy sports (DFS) origins to establish itself as a leading online sportsbook in Brazil. The move aligns with the country’s regulated sports betting market, which officially launches in January 2025. The shift marks a pivotal step for the company as it leverages its position to tap into Brazil’s growing gaming market.

Kiko Augusto, Co-Founder and CEO of Rei do Pitaco, praised the milestone, stating, “I’m extremely proud of the work our team has put in to building a strong foundation for the future of sports betting in Brazil. This license is a tremendous achievement and reinforces our position as a company that has always played by the rules and always will. We are ready to offer our users an even safer, more reliable and diverse experience within Brazil’s regulatory framework.”

The company’s entertainment hub is designed entirely in-house and includes sports betting, customized casino games tailored to local preferences, and fantasy sports. The platform is fully operational, with licenses secured in time for the market’s January launch.

Brazil’s newly regulated sports betting industry offers considerable opportunities for operators, with its large population and passion for sports creating a strong foundation for growth. Rei do Pitaco aims to capitalize on this by providing a secure and diverse gaming experience that adheres to Brazil’s regulatory standards.
