Powered by 1.5 billion transactions covering 96% of Brazil's working adult population, the IDTech giant demonstrates how cross-border iGaming operators can turn regulatory mandates into growth levers.
SÃO PAULO, March 3, 2026 – Unico, Latin America's leading identity verification network infrastructure, has announced its featured participation at SBC Summit Rio—one of the premier global events for the iGaming industry. The company will showcase major enterprise updates, including its newly secured SOC 2 Type II compliance milestone and high-conversion player acquisition solutions designed to accelerate market capture for fixed-odds betting operators.
Navigating complex regulatory rollouts and intense pressure for margin efficiency, Unico has fundamentally re-engineered the role of digital identity. Rather than serving as a high-friction defense barrier against fraud, Unico transforms identity orchestration into a strategic revenue driver and conversion engine.
Unico delivers the most expansive pre-verified network effect in the Latin American market to betting operators. Currently, 99% of active players in Brazil are already registered within the Unico ecosystem, allowing legitimate users to complete identity verification and onboarding in under 3 seconds.
"Our product vision is to completely eliminate transaction friction from the player journey," said Fernanda Beato, Executive Sales Director at Unico. "Identity should never be a roadblock; it should serve as a high-trust digital passport for secure, instantaneous user acquisition."
At Booth A662, and across two official panels at SBC Summit Rio 2026, Unico will break down its tech stack and present enterprise case studies alongside industry pioneers.
According to data verified by Unico's enterprise clients—the largest fixed-odds sports betting platforms in Brazil—the platform's primary efficiency engine relies on verified credential reuse. With user consent and in strict alignment with data privacy mandates (LGPD), an average of over 70% of players reuse previously validated credentials stored securely within the Unico network. This capability delivers a reduction of up to 80% in onboarding drop-off rates.
Unico's infrastructural resilience is backed by the industry's most rigorous global security benchmarks, including SOC 2 Type II, iBeta Levels 1 and 2 (ISO 30107-3), and BixeLab certification for injection and presentation attack detection.
Unlike generic KYC vendors, Unico operates as a closed, independent ecosystem. Under no circumstances does the company share its master databases with third-party verification providers, ensuring absolute data sovereignty and enterprise-grade isolation. Within the iGaming sector, this native intelligence is vital for automatically restricting legally prohibited groups—such as minors and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)—while systematically mitigating money laundering (AML) vectors.
With over 18 years of operational experience in highly regulated enterprise markets, Unico transposes banking-grade security frameworks into the sports betting sector, ensuring operators scale with bulletproof compliance while offering the fastest user experience on the market.
Throughout 2025, Unico maintained state-of-the-art fraud prevention performance, processing over 1.5 billion identity authentications and averting more than 4.1billion(R4.1 billion (R4.1billion(R 23 billion) in systemic ecosystem losses. Even when faced with a 1,000%+ explosion in sophisticated generative AI threats like deepfakes, Unico's proprietary technology ensured total operational integrity with a 100% first-capture accuracy rate.
Unico is the leading identity verification network in Latin America, and a global provider of trust infrastructure. By utilizing proprietary technology biometrics and machine learning, Unico eliminates fraud and secures digital transactions for a safer, more efficient world.
