Good to know: In July 2025, SCCG partnered with India-based fantasy platform BeatFantasy to reduce customer acquisition costs and expand access to AI-driven sports engagement tools
SCCG’s recent moves have seen it expand into multiple emerging markets. In India, its collaboration with BeatFantasy has positioned the group to support operators targeting real-money gaming (RMG) audiences in a regulatory framework where fantasy sports are considered a game of skill.
With SCCG Brazil, the company aims to connect global suppliers in sportsbook tech, payments, CRM and AI risk solutions with local Brazilian operators.
The launch comes as Brazil prepares for wider regulatory enforcement following the passage of gambling reform legislation in late 2023.
