Grupo Esportes da Sorte adds Hugo Baungartner as institutional relations and partnerships director

Baungartner will work as a liaison with agencies such as the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA), the Federal Revenue Service, the Central Bank, COAF, as well as certifying entities and approved laboratories. His duties include preparing the company for advances in the regulatory environment.

“Hugo’s arrival strengthens our ability to act strategically in a sector that is constantly changing. He brings an experienced, technical perspective that is aligned with the principles of governance and innovation that guide the group’s companies,” says Darwin Filho, CEO of Esportes Gaming Brasil.

“Brazil is experiencing a crucial moment in the regulation of the sector, and being at the forefront of this movement with such a relevant group is a challenge that motivates me. We will work to ensure that our operations continue not only in compliance with legal requirements, but also as a reference in good practices, innovation and expansion,” highlights Hugo Baungartner.

With a solid track record in the technology and gaming sectors, where he has worked for over 28 years, the new director will also be responsible for developing partnerships with global providers, evaluating mergers and acquisitions (M&A) opportunities and legally structuring new projects, ensuring compliance and regulatory alignment. Previously, Hugo worked for companies such as Grupo Aposta Ganha, RCT Gaming and Prohards.

Accredited by SPA/MF to operate throughout the country, with authorization published by the Ministry of Finance, Esportes Gaming Brasil’s license includes the group’s two companies: Esportes da Sorte and Onabet.

With 100% Brazilian operations, Esportes Gaming Brasil is one of the main groups in the sector, operating significantly and always supporting market regulation.

The group is also committed to developing effective control mechanisms to support users in managing a healthy routine of entertainment and fun.

Employing hundreds of people, its contribution to society goes beyond the betting sector, through sponsorship of projects in the areas of sports and culture. In football, Esportes da Sorte sponsors traditional Brazilian clubs, such as Corinthians, Ceará, Ferroviária and Náutico.

In the events and entertainment segment, Esportes da Sorte also has a strong presence in the largest and most important projects in the country, such as Galo da Madrugada and Carnaval de Recife.

With great strength in the digital sphere, Onabet relies on relevant digital influencers to generate content for the brand.
