Brazil Welcomes Continent 8 Technologies: Advancing Latin America’s iGaming Landscape

Continent 8 Technologies, a globally recognized provider of managed hosting, connectivity, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions for the iGaming and online sports betting sector, is poised to enter the Brazilian market. This strategic expansion aims to meet the increasing demand from customers in this rapidly developing region. The initiative aligns with Brazil’s imminent transition towards comprehensive regulation of its online gaming sector, anticipated to commence in the summer of 2024.

Continuing its proactive approach, Continent 8’s entry into Brazil bolsters its presence across Latin America, where it has already established a strong foothold by delivering tailored solutions to markets such as Colombia, Peru, and Puerto Rico. With Brazil’s inclusion, Continent 8’s extensive private network now spans over 100 global locations, positioning it among the top 20 most interconnected networks worldwide.

Operators and suppliers in Brazil will gain access to Continent 8’s comprehensive suite of digital and cloud infrastructure solutions, including the Public Cloud—an adaptable and cost-effective offering featuring a usage-based commercial model tailored to client needs.

Additionally, customers will benefit from the Gaming Exchange, a high-speed private internet service renowned for its unmatched speed, capacity, and security features. Continent 8 will also provide a range of cybersecurity solutions tailored to mitigate the evolving threat landscape, addressing the pressing concerns of operators and suppliers entering the Brazilian market.

Given Brazil’s susceptibility to cyber threats, particularly within the iGaming and online sports betting sectors, robust cybersecurity measures are paramount. Continent 8’s expertise in this domain will offer essential protection to businesses navigating the dynamic Brazilian landscape, where cybersecurity ranks among the top priorities alongside healthcare and finance sectors.

Luana Monje, Sales Executive at Continent 8 Technologies, said: “Brazil looks set to be a hugely significant market and one that our customers are keen to explore.

“Digital and cloud infrastructure is the foundation of any successful online business, and we are delighted to be launching in Brazil to support new and existing customers with our solutions and services as they make their move in the market.”

Continent 8 has strategically positioned itself with certified operations in various locations across Latin America. This recent expansion into the Brazilian territory is integral to Continent 8’s long-term Latin American and global growth strategy as the company looks to deliver essential local, technical, and regulatory support in each new and emerging market.

Michael Tobin, Founder and CEO of Continent 8 Technologies, added: “For more than 25 years, we have been supporting customers as they launch into new and growing markets, and we couldn’t be more excited to be doing this in Brazil.

“This is a market that offers tremendous potential to both operators and suppliers, but they must have the right foundation in place to maximise the opportunities on the table. Continent 8 has the experience, expertise, and solutions to help businesses do just that.”
