A Guide to Technical and Cybersecurity Compliance in Brazil’s iGaming Market by Continent 8

LATAM’s go-to infrastructure and cybersecurity services partner provides expert guidance on establishing secure, compliant, ultra-low-latency gaming platforms

Continent 8 Technologies, the leading provider of global managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity solutions to the iGaming and online sports betting industry, will be at SBC Summit Rio 2025 at Stand B220.

At the event, Continent 8 technical and industry experts will on hand to provide insights on complying with Brazil’s Ordinance No. 722, which outlines the specific and essential technical and cybersecurity standard for licensees launching in the Brazilian market. Operators must comply within six months of obtaining their gaming licenses in the Latin American (LATAM) market.

To support Brazil’s launch, Continent 8 offers a state-of-the-art data centre facility in São Paulo, along with a complete suite of services to address rigorous data residency, backup, disaster recovery and cybersecurity requirements. Furthermore, the specific utilisation of submarine cable capacity from Brazil to Portugal minimises latency between Europe and LATAM. By taking this route, rather than via North America as other in-region cloud providers, Continent 8 provides the best support to European operations targeting the region by improving latency by over 40%. This unique, localised support, combined with global planning, enables the regulated Brazilian gaming market to rapidly deploy secure, compliant and ultra-low-latency gaming platforms and operations.

The LATAM market is of considerable strategic importance to Continent 8. The trusted infrastructure and cybersecurity services provider in the region, Continent 8 first launched LATAM and Caribbean operations in Colombia in 2020 and has since expanded its data centre locations and best-in-class managed and professional services to Brazil, Curaçao, Peru and Puerto Rico, with further expansion plans underway.

Luana Monje, Sales Executive at Continent 8 said: “Continent 8 continues its deep investment and commitment to the LATAM market, with the newly established regulated Brazilian jurisdiction being a top priority. We have invested in a new data centre and the provision of customised services to address a comprehensive range of local mandated requirements, including latency, cybersecurity, public/private cloud, AWS hybrid cloud, and more – all with the goal of providing the best regulated iGaming launch and support experience.

“We’re excited to continue this conversation at SBC Summit Rio and explore how we can support your gaming initiatives. Stop by our stand to learn why are the go-to infrastructure and cybersecurity partner, powering and protecting the industry for over 25 years.”
