Las Vegas, NV – SCCG Management, a leading global advisory firm specializing in the gambling and gaming industries, proudly announces the appointment of Jose Augusto Paulista as Country Manager for SCCG Brazil. This strategic move underscores SCCG’s commitment to expanding its global footprint by establishing a dedicated presence in Brazil, one of the most rapidly evolving and high-potential iGaming and sports betting markets in the world.
With over 18 years of leadership experience in compliance and risk operations within the gambling industry, Jose Augusto Paulista brings exceptional expertise to SCCG’s regional operations. His career includes senior positions at top global operators such as Entain, PokerStars, Lottoland, and Dazn Bet, where he developed and executed comprehensive AML frameworks, payment solutions, and fraud mitigation strategies across highly regulated jurisdictions including the UK, Ireland, Spain, and Gibraltar. Fluent in four languages and certified by the International Compliance Association in Anti-Money Laundering, Paulista offers a rare combination of regulatory acumen, operational leadership, and cross-cultural fluency.
SCCG Brazil will serve as the regional arm of SCCG’s advisory operations, offering end-to-end business development, compliance guidance, and market entry support tailored to Brazil’s newly regulated gambling sector. The initiative will connect global technology and service providers—including those in payments, sportsbook platforms, AI-powered risk management, CRM, and fraud detection—with Brazilian operators seeking scalable, world-class solutions.
“Proud to take the next step in my iGaming journey by joining the SCCG family as Country Manager for Brazil,” said Jose Augusto Paulista. “Excited to collaborate with Stephen Crystal—who is a world-class talent—and the entire SCCG team to help shape strategic outcomes for clients across the Brazilian market.”
SCCG Brazil’s core service offerings will include regulatory strategy and licensing support, payments and chargeback advisory, AML/KYC system implementation, strategic partnership development, and managed services designed to minimize risk while driving sustainable growth. This appointment builds upon SCCG’s successful expansion across other emerging markets including Africa, India, and Latin America, and marks a key milestone in its commitment to global market leadership.
“Jose is one of the most accomplished compliance and operations leaders in our industry, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the SCCG global leadership network,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “SCCG Brazil is not only a strategic step for our organization, but also a major opportunity to help our partners unlock value in one of the most dynamic gaming markets worldwide.”
