FairPlay Sports Media invests in opportunities in Brazil with localized oddschecker brand

New York City, 21 May 2024 – FairPlay Sports Media, the global sports media network fuelled by data and powered by fans, has launched in the Brazilian market with a localized version of its renowned odds comparison brand oddschecker.

Following ongoing success in the LATAM region, where the brand ranks as a top three traffic driver for sportsbooks in Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, Brazilian sports bettors will now be able to access localized, real-time odds grids at oddschecker.com/br, repurposed with market-specific APIs to ensure a seamless odds comparison experience.

The decision to launch in Brazil follows the recent regulation of sports betting, with FairPlay’s business and product strategy best-suited to legal markets where consumers are protected and sportsbooks operate in-line with generally agreed best practices.

FairPlay and its oddschecker brand have invested heavily in the region as of late, and this new launch also sees a number of new hires on the ground in Brazil to best operationalize the brand to become local sports betting experts, as well as delivering more effective operator partnerships.

Stuart Simms, Group CEO at FairPlay Sports Media, said: “The Brazil market has huge potential, arguably similar to the US in its scale, and this is an ideal time to service the sports mad fans of the country with a quality, fully localised odds comparison service that will empower them with the insight and pricing edge to take on their favoured sportsbooks. “We are fully behind recent steps to regulate. We want to play by the rules, execute best practices and demonstrate values that we’ve learned from other maturing markets to bring about a better betting ecosystem for all.”

Richard Gale, Chief Revenue Officer at FairPlay Sports Media, said: “The Brazilian market is both challenging and hugely rewarding. With so many local and multi-national operators, our industry leading technology will provide consumers with true comparisons and a fairer betting space. With regulation coming in, now is the time for our brands, global expertise and multi-national media partnerships to properly enter the market.”

Oddschecker’s Brazilian site will offer sports bettors the same, market-leading experience that users receive in other markets, with an added focus on sports relevant to the country, including soccer and U.S. sports.
