About the speaker

My name is Ronald Lopes, and I began my career as an entrepreneur in 2019, operating in the digital marketing and betting market. My first well-known success story was in sports betting consultancy (Futmilionário). I believe I have had/have a successful career because I am a very innovative and dedicated person in all projects, not only myself, but also all my partners and collaborators. At my 30 years-old (and almost 5 years as an entrepreneur), I believe I have gained recognition in the market I operate in today, which is the affiliates and iGaming market. I was awarded as Affiliate of the Year in 2023, and I believe this award has made me an influential and respected person in the industry. This award highlighted not only my skills but also those of my team involved daily in operations. In early 2024, my company merged with Grupo Esportes da Sorte (one of the largest groups in the market), consolidating work that was being done solely by my team and setting new goals with our new partner. There were several proposals from companies in the industry, but I believe that this merger between my company and Grupo EDS was mainly driven by the objectives/vision that both parties have for the business.
