Neko Games™ announced that its titles have been officially certified for the Brazilian market. This is a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to expanding its presence in Latin America and serving the region’s rapidly growing online gaming community. The approval was granted by the eCogra lab, authorized by the Ministry of Finance to evaluate the iGaming segment in the country.

As Brazil takes significant steps towards regulating its gambling industry, Neko Games is thrilled to have its portfolio of instant bingo games certified and ready for launch. The certification ensures that Brazilian players can now enjoy Neko Games’ portfolio of titles, which have been adapted to meet local regulatory standards.

Neko Games has long recognised Brazil as a key market, creating content specifically tailored to Brazilian players. The studio’s commitment to the region began with the launch of Mae do Ouro: Golden Spirit™, its first Portuguese-language title, and Carnaval Link&Win™, inspired by Brazil’s iconic carnival.

More recently, Golden Tiger: Jackpot Fortunes™ was designed to tap into the growing popularity of Asian Fortune-themed games in Brazil.

Sebastián Perrier, Managing Director of Neko Games, commented: “Since our first launch over five years ago, Brazil has been at the heart of our strategy. This certification is a significant achievement, and we are proud to offer a wide selection of certified titles to licensed operators in Brazil. Our focus has always been on creating games that truly resonate with this market.”

The approval was granted following a thorough analysis of all aspects of Neko Games’ games by the eCogra laboratory, authorized by the Ministry of Finance to certify games, betting platforms and systems, and live gaming studios in Brazil.

As the Brazilian gaming market continues to evolve, Neko Games hopes to expand its offerings and further strengthen its position as a leader in the online bingo and casino gaming sectors in the region.

With the majority of its titles now certified for the Brazilian market, the company is ready to engage a wider audience and offer a truly localized gaming experience.
