MADE IN BRAZIL, FOR BRAZIL

About 98br – A Betting Platform Built for Brazilians

98br was built on a simple belief: Brazilian bettors deserved a platform truly made for them — with domestic football as the priority, hassle-free Pix payments, odds in BRL, and support that speaks your language.

Who we are and why we built 98br

A 98br came from a clear observation: the betting platforms available in Brazil at the time were poorly adapted versions of products built for other markets. Confusing interfaces, support in English or Spanish, foreign currencies, payment methods no Brazilian would ever use — none of it made sense for someone who grew up with football in their blood, Pix on their phone, and national championships as part of their daily routine.

In 2021, a group of professionals with backgrounds in financial technology, digital entertainment, and sports decided to build something different. The 98br was built from the ground up with the Brazilian user in mind: every registration flow, every betting screen, every payment option was designed for someone who lives in Brazil, uses Nubank or Itaú, follows the Brasileirão Série A every weekend, and wants to withdraw their winnings in BRL without waiting days or paying fees.

Today, the 98br serves users across all 27 Brazilian states and is one of the fastest-growing Sports Betting and online casino platforms in the country. That growth didn't come from outsized ad spend — it came from building the right product for the right audience and treating every user with respect and transparency from day one.

What drives us: the Brazilian passion for sport

No country in the world has a more intense relationship with football than Brazil. From childhood, the sport is woven into street pitches, bar conversations, family WhatsApp groups, and stadiums that fill up week after week. The 98br sees this not as a market statistic, but as culture — and it's with that respect that we've built every feature on the platform.

That's why the Brasileirão Série A is the backbone of our sports calendar. Every round gets full coverage, with markets opening up to 72 hours in advance and analysis published by our team before each round. Likewise, the Copa do Brasil, CONMEBOL Libertadores, Sul-Americana, and World Cup Qualifiers all hold a prime spot on the 98br. MMA and UFC come in right behind — Brazil has always been one of the dominant forces in the octagon, and our users want to bet on Pantoja, Charles Oliveira, and the rest with fair odds and specialized markets.

Beyond traditional sports, the 98br follows the growth of the e-sports market in Brazil — covering CBLOL, CS2 with FURIA and paiN Gaming, and VALORANT competitions that are drawing more and more young bettors to the platform. And for those who prefer the casino, we offer slots from the world's top developers, crash games, live roulette with Portuguese-speaking dealers, and much more.

Our mission: betting with responsibility and transparency

A 98br believes Sports Betting should be a form of entertainment — not a source of financial stress or anxiety. That's why we invest in real responsible gambling tools: configurable deposit limits, bet history accessible at any time, temporary or permanent self-exclusion with a single click, and dedicated support for users who need a break.

Transparency isn't a marketing buzzword for us. It means publishing the actual track record of our picks with real numbers, explaining the reasoning behind every analysis, and never promising guaranteed returns on anything. It also means making sure every user clearly understands how the platform works, what the terms of each promotion are, and how their personal data is protected in compliance with the LGPD.

When a user makes a Pix deposit on 98br, the funds are available within seconds. When they want to withdraw, the process is just as seamless — no three-business-day wait, no fees, no red tape. We believe a user's money belongs to the user, and that the role of 98br is to be a trustworthy intermediary in that relationship — not an obstacle standing between you and your winnings.

Brazilian technology for the Brazilian bettor

The infrastructure of the 98br was built for performance for users in Brazil. Low-latency servers for live betting, native integration with the Banco Central's Pix system, support for major credit and debit card brands, and compatibility with digital wallets like PicPay and Mercado Pago. Our mobile app is lightweight, fast, and works well even on moderate 4G connections — because we know not every user has fiber at home.

Data security is handled with the same rigor as a digital bank: 256-bit SSL encryption on all transactions, two-factor authentication available to all users, and full compliance with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD – Law No. 13.709/2018). No personal information is shared with third parties without the user's explicit consent.

In four years of operation, the 98br has processed millions of transactions with zero recorded security incidents — the result of a robust technical architecture and a security team that monitors the platform 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It's the kind of commitment that never shows up in a promotional banner, but makes all the difference when you need to trust a platform with your money.

What sets 98br apart from other platforms

We built every detail of this platform with people who live in Brazil in mind — not to adapt a foreign product for the local market.

Pix as a native language
Deposit in 15 seconds, fee-free withdrawals, and available 24 hours a day. Pix wasn't an afterthought — it's been the foundation of 98br's entire payment infrastructure from day one. No currency conversion, no hidden fees, no waiting for business days.
Full focus on Brazilian football
Brasileirão Série A and B, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, Sul-Americana, and the Eliminatórias — all with full market coverage. We're not a European platform that tacked on the Brasileirão as an afterthought. Here, the national championship is front and center.
Bank-grade security
256-bit SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and full LGPD compliance. Your personal and financial data is protected with the same rigor as a digital bank — because you're trusting real money to this platform.
Picks backed by real analysis
Our team publishes football, MMA, basketball, and e-sports analysis using real data, with confidence levels and clear reasoning — no promises of guaranteed profit, no guesswork, just transparency. And it's completely free for any registered user.
Responsible gambling, for real
Configurable deposit limits, one-click self-exclusion, a full bet history, and support for anyone who needs a break. Betting should be entertainment — and when it stops feeling that way, 98br has the tools to help before it becomes a problem.
24-hour support in Portuguese
Live chat and email support in Brazilian Portuguese, available every day of the week including weekends and holidays. When you have a question at 11 PM the night before a big match, 98br is there to answer.

Security without compromise

Every transaction is protected with bank-grade encryption. No personal data is ever sold or shared. The LGPD isn't a bureaucratic burden for us — it's a commitment we make to every user who trusts 98br.

User responsibility

Betting is entertainment. 98br invests in real control tools — deposit limits, self-exclusion, betting history — because we care about our users' long-term wellbeing, not just monthly betting volume.
