Bragg Gaming Partners with and Invests in Brazilian Specialist Online Casino Studio RapidPlay
Exclusive partnership strengthens Bragg's position in Brazil with high-performance local content from seasoned industry veterans
Bragg Gaming Group ((BRAG, BRAG) ("Bragg" or the "Company"), a leading global B2B iGaming content and technology provider, today announced the acquisition of a strategic equity stake in, and the signing of an exclusive content partnership with RAPIDPLAY LTD ("RapidPlay"), a specialist Brazilian game development studio renowned for its localized, high-performance online casino content tailored to Brazilian and the broader Latin American market.
Founded by a team of veteran iGaming experts with deep roots in the region, RapidPlay has rapidly built a reputation for delivering premium, culturally attuned casino content that resonates with local Brazilian and Latin American players.
Under the terms of the agreement, Bragg receives an equity stake in RapidPlay and has entered into an exclusive commercial distribution agreement with RapidPlay at standard market terms.
The agreement allows Bragg to integrate and offer RapidPlay's full content portfolio through its expanding base of licensed Brazilian operators.
RapidPlay's highly efficient cost development model for producing high-quality, localized content is particularly attractive to Bragg, as it supports rapid scalability and margin efficiency—especially valuable in emerging markets like Brazil and the broader LatAm market.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with RapidPlay, Bragg also has an option to acquire a controlling interest in RapidPlay, should future strategic conditions align.
All titles developed under this partnership will be powered by Fuze™, Bragg's proprietary engagement technology that features real-time gamification, player retention tools, and promotional capabilities — enhancing both player experience and operator performance.
This partnership builds on Bragg's rapid expansion in Brazil, where it launched operations on January 1, 2025, and has already partnered with over one-third of the market's licensed operators.
The Company's São Paulo office, led by LatAm Regional Director Sara Mosallaee and Senior Account Manager Amanda Alexandrini, delivers fully localized support and expertise to operators across the region.
With Brazil's newly regulated online casino market expected to generate USD 1.5 billion in 2025, growing to USD 3.7 billion by 2029, Bragg believes that the market could contribute up to 10% of the Company's total revenue this year—underlining its strategic importance.
Neill Whyte, Chief Commercial Officer, Bragg Gaming Group commented: "This partnership with RapidPlay is more than just an investment — it's a strategic move that strengthens our differentiated local content proposition.
"The studio combines creative excellence with operational efficiency, making it an ideal partner for our expansion efforts in the region."
Rafael Roos Bordignon, CEO and Co-Founder of RapidPlay, commented: "RapidPlay was founded to create genuinely Brazilian gaming experiences. Joining forces with Bragg gives us the scale and structure to do that with even greater impact. We're excited to enter this next phase together."
