Nexus International, Led by Gurhan Kiziloz, Secures Gaming License with $1.45 Billion Target for 2025

Gurhan Kiziloz, the key figure behind Nexus International, is strengthening his foothold in the online gaming industry, driving the company’s aggressive expansion strategy. Under his leadership, Nexus International manages Megaposta and Lanistar, two platforms that have significantly contributed to revenue growth. In 2024, the company recorded $400 million in revenue, and with Kiziloz’s expansion efforts, forecasts indicate that this figure could surge to $1.45 billion in 2025.
A crucial step in this trajectory is securing a Brazilian gaming license, granting Nexus International entry into one of the most regulated betting markets worldwide. Obtaining this license required compliance with strict financial and operational standards set by Brazilian regulators—an undertaking Kiziloz personally oversaw as part of his broader goal to establish the company in regulated spaces. With this authorization, Nexus International can legally operate and scale within Brazil, a market now focused on restricting unlicensed operators.
Kiziloz’s Influence on Nexus International’s Growth
Kiziloz has engaged in various industries, with his transition into online gaming reflecting a strategic response to shifting regulatory landscapes. Before stepping into the online gaming sector, he developed Lanistar as a fintech company, but under his leadership, it has since evolved into the gaming space. This shift aligns with his broader approach to restructuring and scaling business models in response to market demands.
His direct involvement has fueled the company’s expansion across Latin America. Megaposta has already established a presence in multiple countries, and with the newly acquired Brazilian license, Kiziloz has positioned Nexus International for further market penetration. His role has been instrumental in securing partnerships, ensuring compliance, and crafting strategies to compete with dominant players in the gaming industry.
However, this approach is not without its challenges. Brazil enforces stringent regulations covering advertising, taxation, and consumer protection. Any compliance violations could result in financial penalties or even the revocation of the company’s license. Kiziloz now faces the responsibility of maintaining Nexus International’s legal standing while navigating an increasingly competitive and tightly regulated market.
Strategies for Expanding Nexus International
Under Kiziloz’s leadership, Nexus International is targeting regions where legal online gaming is gaining traction. Megaposta has already gained significant market share in Latin America, and the newly obtained Brazilian license enables the company to operate openly, unlike unlicensed competitors who face restrictions.
Lanistar’s transformation from a fintech venture into an online gaming platform was a calculated step, allowing Nexus International to solidify its presence in sports betting and casino gaming. While Lanistar has shifted focus, it continues to operate as a fintech platform under Lanistar.app, maintaining its presence in the financial sector. By managing two platforms under the same corporate umbrella, Kiziloz diversifies revenue streams and expands market reach.
Brazil’s updated gaming regulations have created a landscape where only licensed operators can legally provide betting services. By securing Nexus International’s position within this regulatory framework, Kiziloz ensures the company can advertise, form local partnerships, and expand its customer base without the legal uncertainties of unlicensed operations. However, this also means facing higher operational costs and stricter regulatory constraints.
The Financial Targets & Hurdles Facing Kiziloz
Kiziloz aims to push Nexus International’s revenue to $1.45 billion through a combination of geographic expansion and increased user engagement. His strategy hinges on drawing more users to the company’s platforms and enhancing participation in sports betting and casino games, two of the most lucrative segments in the online gaming sector.
Yet, the industry presents several hurdles. Regulatory environments remain fluid, with governments frequently revising tax structures, imposing new restrictions, or introducing additional compliance measures. Any legislative changes in Brazil could directly impact Nexus International’s profit margins.
Additionally, competition remains fierce, with well-established gaming brands boasting stronger customer loyalty and larger marketing budgets. To compete effectively, Nexus International must prioritize user retention, offer exclusive features, and implement strategic marketing efforts—while still adhering to regulatory limitations.
Cybersecurity also poses a significant challenge. Online gaming platforms are frequent targets for fraud and cyberattacks. To protect user data and maintain trust, Kiziloz must ensure substantial investment in security measures. Any failure in this area could lead to financial losses and reputational damage.
Future Expansion Plans for Nexus International
Beyond Brazil, Kiziloz is exploring opportunities to extend Nexus International’s presence into additional regulated markets. Several countries across Europe, Latin America, and Asia are refining their online gaming laws, and Kiziloz is actively evaluating the most viable regions for legal expansion.
Securing new licenses is a complex, time-intensive process requiring adherence to different tax regimes, advertising regulations, and consumer protection standards. Kiziloz must oversee negotiations, obtain legal approvals, and implement regional marketing strategies to ensure seamless entry into new markets.
While the Brazilian license has paved the way for growth, Nexus International’s success will ultimately depend on Kiziloz’s ability to navigate industry challenges. Maintaining compliance, mitigating risks, and competing against larger players will be crucial for sustaining momentum. His approach to regulatory adherence, strategic marketing, and technological investment will shape the company’s trajectory in the years ahead.

Bet It Drives Season 3 Premiere: Eman Pulis on Legacy, Risk, and Why Rome Changes Everything
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was SiGMA World.
But when Eman Pulis rolls through the Eternal City in Season 3 of Bet It Drives, he’s not just another iGaming founder with a war story. He’s the gladiator who fought COVID, broken rules, outplayed industry skeptics—and came out building schools in Ethiopia while running eight conferences across three continents.
“Now I’m free,” Eman says, quoting Hans Zimmer’s Gladiator soundtrack—his victory song for after SiGMA Central Europe wrapped and the chaos settled. Free from the rules that almost sank him. Free to build tribes, not just teams. Free to prove that legacy beats profit, every single time.
Season 3 of Bet It Drives, powered by GR8 Tech and hosted by Yevhen Krazhan, CSO, launches where champions are made: on the road, in motion, with no script and nowhere to hide. Rome sets the stage. Eman brings the empire.
In the episode, Eman reveals:
- The COVID gamble that saved SiGMA: How 14,000 people walked through doors that were supposed to stay shut—and why he’d do it again
- Why Rome, why now: The strategy behind planting the flag in Europe’s second-biggest gaming market (and why Malta stays in the picture)
- From beach in Phuket to existential crisis: The moment everything felt too perfect—two weeks before COVID hit
- 350 people, 8 offices, one tribe: How a multicultural team became SiGMA’s secret weapon across Manila, São Paulo, Cyprus, and beyond
- Business is done between people, not brands: The mantra that turned boozy Malta meetups into a global events empire
- Politics or impact? Why helping millions through the foundation beats governing 400,000 people in Malta
- The “zoom out” rule: Crisis survival advice from someone who almost became redundant overnight
“We covered a lot of ground—literally and figuratively,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives. “And Rome was the perfect place to kick off Season 3. The city represents where the industry is right now—ancient foundations, modern chaos, and endless opportunity.”
Season 3 keeps the momentum rolling with upcoming episodes featuring Valentina Diaco and Karolina Pelc—two more amazing leaders with stories worth hearing.
Watch or listen to Season 3, Episode 1 with Eman Pulis on:
The arena is open. The conversations have started. Season 3 of Bet It Drives is here—and it’s just the beginning.
