Brazilian Ministry of Finance and IBIA sign sports betting integrity agreement
The Brazilian Ministry of Finance and the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) have signed a sports betting integrity cooperation agreement. It will allow both parties to share information concerning suspicious betting activity connected to Brazilian sport and collaborate on any investigations.
The agreement brings together the governmental body responsible for ensuring that the Brazilian market is legal, safe and reliable, and the largest international betting integrity monitor for private operators in the world. Leading industry data and intelligence company H2 Gambling Capital has forecast that IBIA will cover more than 70% of the Brazilian remote gambling market.
According to ‘The Availability of Sports Betting Products: An Economic and Integrity Analysis’ study published earlier this year, the new sports betting regulatory regime in Brazil is projected to create $34bn in sports betting turnover by 2028. With this increased growth comes a greater responsibility to protect customers, sports and betting operators from match-fixing.
A key element of the new Brazilian regulatory framework is the requirement that operators seeking a licence must join an independent sports integrity monitoring body. This licensing requirement is helping to strengthen IBIA’s capacity to monitor, assess and protect betting transactions in Brazil’s regulated sports betting market and maintain the integrity of Brazilian sporting events.
Regis Dudena, Secretary of Betting and Prizes, said: “Cooperation with IBIA will add to SPA’s work in combating the manipulation of sporting events. And together we will mitigate this problem on a global scale.”
Khalid Ali, IBIA CEO, said: “IBIA is delighted to have reached this agreement with the Brazilian Ministry of Finance and welcomes the government’s increased focus on creating a robust sports betting integrity ecosystem to tackle match-fixing. Collaboration and information sharing are key to the success of this ecosystem. Under this agreement IBIA will identify and report suspicious betting on Brazilian sporting events to the Ministry of Finance to support investigatory actions. That will include detailed customer account data that is only available to IBIA and its members.”
Frederico Alves Soares Justo, General Coordinator of Money Laundering at the Brazilian Ministry of Finance, said: “For the Secretary of Prizes and Betting to sign this agreement with IBIA is the certainty that we are on the right path to curb the manipulation of results. We will make the most of the experience that IBIA has in monitoring the betting market to create mechanisms that curb this practice that undermines the credibility of sport and the betting market. It’s a partnership in which everyone wins.”
IBIA is a globally recognised non-profit organization that seeks to safeguard the integrity of the sports and betting sectors by fighting betting related match-fixing and fraud. It provides a free integrity monitoring service to sports governing bodies, regulators and law enforcement agencies that, importantly, is also free from potential conflicts created by the provision of competing commercial services, enabling all parties to efficiently and effectively cooperate in investigating, prosecuting and deterring sports betting related match-fixing.
IBIA monitors over $300bn per annum in betting turnover across more than 125 sports betting brands globally, making IBIA the largest betting integrity monitor of its type for private operators in the world. The association’s unrivalled access to detailed global customer transactional data has, and will continue, to play a pivotal role in protecting the Brazilian sports betting market and sporting events from corrupt activity.

Spinomenal unearths its Egyptian Marvel title
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has expanded its Egyptian Empire series with the release of Egyptian Marvel. Set amongst the pyramids and pharaohs, players are accompanied by the ancient gods Isis, Ra, Bastet, and Anubis on a quest for untold gold.
An epic soundtrack encapsulates the gravity of the quest where each of the gods has its own Free Spins feature that triggers with three or more full-sized scattered Free Spins ankh symbols.
On each occasion players unearth three or more Free Spins symbols, they will move into the next consecutive quest in search of riches. It all begins with Anubis and the Winning Symbols Respins feature. This mode boosts the chance that winning combinations reward a respin, with the winning symbols remaining in place as non-winning symbols are removed and replaced with new ones.
The second free game is the Extra Wilds feature, watched over by Bastet. During this Free Spins mode, while the reels are spinning, three to five extra wild symbols will appear on the slot to enhance winning chances. Five wild symbols on a winning line will pay a bet per line x300.
Players who find three more scattered Free Spins will move to Shifting Reels Respin represented by Ra. In this round, after each win the game will trigger a free respin where all the reels move one row down and a new row on top will be revealed.
Finally, players will join Isis for Stacked Wild Respins where each time a stacked wild symbol lands completely on the reel a respin will be triggered.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Egyptian Marvel is an exceptional addition to our Egyptian Empire series, which continues to entertain players. The game is enriched with four epic features that make this collector’s item!”
