News Summary:
Grupo Globo recently co-convened the "Desafios pós-regulamentação do mercado de apostas" seminar with the Associação Nacional de Jogos e Loterias (ANJL) on August 20, 2026. The seminar discussed security, taxation, sporting integrity, and consistent application of bettor safeguards, as the Brazilian betting sector pushed back against growing calls for prohibition of licensed operators. Earlier, on June 19, 2026, Eduardo Ludmer, head of legal for BetMGM Brazil, a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Grupo Globo, stated that licensed operators, regulators, and government must collaborate to counter the black market's reputational contagion in Brazil. The joint venture, Boa Lion (formed by MGM Resorts International and Grupo Globo), expanded its iGaming portfolio in the regulated market by acquiring online video bingo developer Bingão do Brasil for an undisclosed sum on June 16, 2026. Boa Lion had initiated the acquisition from L.Eva Participações and other investors, pending regulatory approvals, earlier in June 2026. Separately, in February 2026, Pedro Leite, a machine learning engineer and AI researcher at Grupo Globo, was noted for his work exploring generative audio systems through an unexpected collaboration.
