Betano deputy CEO points to localisation and sponsorship as the keys to success in Brazil

Betano looks set to be one of the frontrunners when the legal market launches in Brazil on 1 January 2025, with deputy CEO Aris Dimarakis emphasising the importance of sponsorship and a localised approach.

Legal online betting in Brazil is now less than two weeks away, and operators such as Betano have been jockeying for position to ensure they capitalise on being among the first to enter what will likely be a top-three global gambling market.

Penge, 26, was found to have placed bets on multiple golf events by an Independent Disciplinary Panel. This, the DP World Tour said, is in direct breach of Regulation 3(a)(i) of the Integrity Programme.

The suspension came into effect on 13 December, meaning Penge cannot compete again until 13 February 2025. In addition, he has been ordered to pay a £2,000 (€2,408/$2,499) fine.

“The panel found that Penge’s immedia..
