Super Bowl LIX between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs on February 9th, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome, was the eleventh Super Bowl to be held in New Orleans, and it was not the close affair we expected! In fact, the Eagles reached an insurmountable lead of 34 points before the Chiefs managed a first score. The event boasted record peak views of around 135 million, up from 124 million last year.
It was also a record-breaking 2025 in gambling terms, with significant growth in online betting compared to last year’s, reflecting the continued expansion of legal online sports betting in the US. An estimated $1.39 billion was gambled on Super Bowl LIX, up from $1.25 billion in legal bets for Super Bowl LVIII — a growth of about 11%. This figure marks the first time the American Gaming Association (AGA) based its estimate solely on legal wagers, unlike previous years that included illegal and casual bets, suggesting the actual increase in regulated online activity could be even higher as the market shifts toward legal channels.
This year also saw at least one $1m bet and a six-figure wager on the coin flip (tails by the way).
Continent 8 customer, FanDuel, reported record-breaking activity for Super Bowl LIX, with over 16.6 million bets placed by almost 3 million customers, a nearly 20% increase in bets from the 14 million recorded for LVIII (which totalled $307 million in wagers from 2.5 million users). In New York alone, a key online sports betting market, the Super Bowl LIX week saw a handle (total amount wagered) of over $557 million, with $155 million tied directly to the game, outpacing last year’s figures. FanDuel’s handle in New York for that week was $222.2 million, and DraftKings reported $193.9 million, both reflecting robust growth.
As the largest network, infrastructure and cybersecurity supplier to the US and global regulated iGaming market, Continent 8 can report its stats for Super Bowl LIX:
Continent 8 is no stranger to supporting high-traffic sporting contests. Whether it is annually for the Grand National or Cheltenham horse racing events in the UK and Ireland, the UEFA Champions League across Europe, March Madness in the US, or every four years for the UEFA Euro finals or FIFA World Cup, we know what it takes to ensure platform uptime.

On May 2, 2024, the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) and the Ministry of Finance (MF) issued Ordinance No. 722 (link here in Portuguese). This set of regulations outlines the essential technical and cybersecurity criteria that iGaming and online sports betting operators must adhere to within six months of obtaining their gaming licenses.
In her blog series, Luana Monje, Sales Executive at Continent 8 Technologies, examines the latest infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity and regulatory developments for the newly regulated Brazilian iGaming and online sports betting market. In her first blog, Luana explored the Ordinance 722’s penetration testing requirement, and in this blog, she investigates the recovery and backup system, business continuity and disaster recovery plan and firewall protection requirements in full detail.
Ordinance 722, Annex IV, section 15 – Recovery: In the event of a catastrophic failure where the betting system, or any component or platform, cannot be reset in any other way, it must be possible to restore the system from the last backup point and fully recover it.
Ordinance 722, Annex IV, section 17 – Business continuity and disaster recovery plan: A business continuity policy and disaster recovery plan must be adopted to recover betting operations if the production environment of the betting system or any of its platforms becomes inoperable.
In the regulations outlined for iGaming and online sports betting in Brazil, robust recovery and business continuity mechanisms must be in place to ensure that, should a catastrophic failure occur, the operator or supplier can restore the betting system and fully recover from the last backup point.
Ordinance 722’s recovery section explains that such backups must encompass not only the recorded information but also extend to include location-specific details such as security configurations and user accounts. Furthermore, current system encryption keys and a comprehensive record of system parameters – whether modifications, reconfigurations, additions, merges, deletions, adjustments or changes to parameters – need to be meticulously maintained.
Meanwhile, Ordinance 722’s business continuity and disaster recovery section recommends that the plan comprise data storage methodologies to minimise losses, document the recovery procedures and provide a comprehensive recovery guide. Moreover, it should propose the process for resuming administrative operations post-recovery, tailored to the system’s operational context.
The Continent 8 solution: Our multi-pronged services approach offers operators and suppliers the optimal path to backup and business continuity in the event of an incident or disaster.
Ordinance 722, Annex IV, section 31 – Firewall: All communications, including remote access, must pass through at least one approved application-level firewall.
An effective firewall serves as the guardian of the network, meticulously scrutinising all incoming and outgoing communications to thwart unauthorised access and potential threats. Ordinance 722’s firewall communication suggests that the firewall be placed at the juncture of different security domains, ensuring that no alternative network path exists that could circumvent the firewall. Only essential applications related to the firewall’s operation are permitted to reside on the device, and access is restricted to a limited number of user accounts, primarily network or system administrators. These firewalls should analyse all incoming and outgoing communications, ensuring that only traffic from trusted network sources is permitted. Furthermore, stringent access controls, backed by the latest encryption protocols, safeguard remote interactions with the gaming platform.
The Continent 8 solution: Our Firewall service includes customisable IDS/IPS capabilities. When combined with our managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) service, IDS/IPS events are enriched with specific threat intelligence and ingested into our Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) platform. Our SOC analysts can then deliver powerful insights into a customer’s current threat state and perimeter activities, providing detection, prevention and responses to known and emerging threats.
Recovery and business continuity plans, along with firewall protection, provide an excellent starting point for iGaming and online sports betting operators and suppliers launching operations in Brazil’s regulated gaming market. For end-to-end protection, we recommend operators and suppliers adopt a holistic risk mitigation approach. A complete, 360-degree defense strategy includes:
By referencing the SPA and MF’s Ordinance 722 policies and partnering with an experienced and trusted solutions provider like Continent 8, operators and suppliers can deploy multi-defense, multi-layer cybersecurity protection strategies for their iGaming and online sports betting platform. This approach enables them to comply with Brazil’s latest technical and cybersecurity regulations while demonstrating their commitment to providing secure and trustworthy gaming environments and experiences.
Continent 8 Technologies, the trusted managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity partner to the global iGaming and online sports betting industry for over 25 years, is live in every major regulated Latin American (LATAM) jurisdiction, including Brazil.
Operating out of the LATAM region since 2020, we offer operators and suppliers access to state-of-the-art data centres, connectivity to a global private network featuring 100+ locations across four continents and best-in-class managed and professional services to support the most demanding iGaming and online sports betting requirements.

A 2 de maio de 2024, a Secretaria de Prémios e Apostas (SPA) e o Ministério das Finanças (MF) emitiram a Portaria n.º 722 (link aqui). Este conjunto de regulamentos define os critérios técnicos e de cibersegurança essenciais que os operadores de iGaming e de apostas esportivas online devem cumprir no prazo de seis meses após a obtenção das suas licenças de jogo.
Em sua série de blogs, Luana Monje, Executiva de Vendas da Continent 8 Technologies, examina os mais recentes desenvolvimentos de infraestrutura, nuvem, cibersegurança e regulamentação para o recém-regulamentado mercado brasileiro de iGaming e apostas esportivas online. Em seu primeiro blog, Luana explorou o requisito de teste de penetração da Portaria 722, e neste blog, ela investiga o sistema de recuperação e backup, continuidade de negócios e plano de recuperação de desastres e requisitos de proteção de firewall em detalhes completos.
Portaria 722, Anexo IV, secção 15 – Recuperação: Na eventualidade de uma falha catastrófica em que o sistema de apostas, ou qualquer componente ou plataforma, não possa ser reposto de outra forma, deve ser possível restaurar o sistema a partir do último ponto de cópia de segurança e recuperá-lo totalmente.
Portaria 722, Anexo IV, secção 17 – Plano de continuidade das actividades e de recuperação de desastres: Uma política de continuidade de negócios e um plano de recuperação de desastres devem ser adotados para recuperar as operações de apostas se o ambiente de produção do sistema de apostas ou qualquer uma de suas plataformas se tornar inoperante.
Nos regulamentos delineados para o iGaming e as apostas esportivas no Brasil, devem existir mecanismos robustos de recuperação e continuidade do negócio para garantir que, em caso de falha catastrófica, o operador ou fornecedor possa restaurar o sistema de apostas e recuperar totalmente a partir do último ponto de backup.
A secção de recuperação do Decreto 722 explica que essas cópias de segurança devem incluir não só as informações registadas, mas também pormenores específicos do local, como as configurações de segurança e as contas de utilizador. Além disso, as chaves de encriptação actuais do sistema e um registo exaustivo dos parâmetros do sistema – quer se trate de modificações, reconfigurações, adições, fusões, eliminações, ajustamentos ou alterações de parâmetros – devem ser meticulosamente mantidos.
Entretanto, a secção relativa à continuidade das actividades e à recuperação de desastres da Portaria 722 recomenda que o plano inclua metodologias de armazenamento de dados para minimizar as perdas, documente os procedimentos de recuperação e forneça um guia de recuperação abrangente. Além disso, deve propor o processo de retoma das operações administrativas após a recuperação, adaptado ao contexto operacional do sistema.
A solução Continent8: A nossa abordagem de serviços multifacetados oferece aos operadores e fornecedores o caminho ideal para a recuperação e continuidade do negócio no caso de um incidente ou desastre.
(O webinar está disponível em inglês e espanhol)
Portaria 722, Anexo IV, secção 31 – Firewall: Todas as comunicações, incluindo o acesso remoto, devem passar pelo menos por uma firewall aprovada a nível da aplicação.
Uma firewall eficaz actua como guardiã da rede, analisando meticulosamente todas as comunicações de entrada e saída para impedir o acesso não autorizado e potenciais ameaças. A comunicação da firewall do Decreto 722 sugere que a firewall seja colocada na junção de diferentes domínios de segurança, garantindo que não exista nenhum caminho de rede alternativo que possa contornar a firewall. Apenas as aplicações essenciais relacionadas com o funcionamento da firewall são autorizadas a residir no dispositivo e o acesso é restringido a um número limitado de contas de utilizador, principalmente administradores de rede ou de sistemas. Estas firewalls devem analisar todas as comunicações de entrada e saída, garantindo que só é permitido o tráfego proveniente de fontes de rede fiáveis. Além disso, controlos de acesso rigorosos, apoiados pelos mais recentes protocolos de encriptação, protegem as interações remotas com a plataforma de jogo.
A solução Continent8: O nosso serviço de Firewall inclui capacidades IDS/IPS personalizáveis. Quando combinados com o nosso serviço gerido do Centro de Operações de Segurança (SOC), os eventos IDS/IPS são enriquecidos com informações específicas sobre ameaças e ingeridos na nossa plataforma de gestão de incidentes e eventos de segurança (SIEM). Os nossos analistas do SOC podem então fornecer informações poderosas sobre o estado atual das ameaças e as actividades de perímetro de um cliente, fornecendo deteção, prevenção e respostas a ameaças conhecidas e emergentes.
Os planos de recuperação e continuidade do negócio, juntamente com a proteção da firewall, constituem um excelente ponto de partida para os operadores e fornecedores de iGaming e de apostas esportivas online que iniciam operações no mercado de jogo regulamentado do Brasil. Para uma proteção de ponta a ponta, recomendamos que os operadores e fornecedores adoptem uma abordagem holística de mitigação de riscos. Uma estratégia de defesa completa e de 360 graus inclui (ligações de produtos em inglês):

This set of regulations outlines the essential technical and security criteria that iGaming and online sports betting operators must adhere to within six months of obtaining their gaming licenses.
In a series of blogs over the coming months, Luana Monje, Sales Executive at Continent 8 Technologies, will examine the various requirements for regulated iGaming in Brazil. First up, she examines the penetration testing requirement, along with other cybersecurity considerations, in more detail.
Ordinance 722, Annex IV, section 41 – Penetration testing: The purpose of penetration testing is to exploit any weaknesses discovered during the vulnerability assessment in any publicly exposed applications or systems that host applications that process, transmit and/or store sensitive information.
Executing thorough penetration testing is a testament to an organisation’s dedication to safeguarding user data. Ordinance 722 defines penetration testing as systematically challenging the strength of network and application layers so that operators and suppliers can identify and rectify vulnerabilities.
Our Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services provide comprehensive security assessments for a customer’s infrastructure and applications. The VAPT solution enables organisations to achieve regulatory compliance and understand their attack surface area, providing a strong foundation for strengthening security posture.

Em 2 de maio de 2024, a Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) e o Ministério da Fazenda (MF) emitiram a Portaria nº 722. Este conjunto de regulamentos define os critérios técnicos e de segurança essenciais que os operadores de iGaming e de apostas desportivas online devem cumprir no prazo de seis meses após a obtenção das suas licenças de jogo.
Em uma série de blogs nos próximos meses, Luana Monje, Executiva de Vendas da Continent 8 Technologies, examinará os vários requisitos para o iGaming regulamentado no Brasil. Em primeiro lugar, ela examina o requisito de teste de penetração, juntamente com outras considerações de segurança cibernética, em mais detalhes.
Portaria 722, Anexo IV, secção 41 – Testes de penetração: O objetivo dos testes de penetração é explorar quaisquer pontos fracos descobertos durante a avaliação de vulnerabilidades em quaisquer aplicações ou sistemas expostos publicamente que alojem aplicações que processem, transmitam e/ou armazenem informações sensíveis.
A realização de testes de penetração completos é uma prova da dedicação de uma organização à proteção dos dados dos utilizadores. A Portaria 722 define os testes de penetração como um desafio sistemático à força das camadas de rede e de aplicação para que os operadores e fornecedores possam identificar e retificar vulnerabilidades.
Os nossos serviços de Avaliação de Vulnerabilidades e Testes de Penetração (VAPT) fornecem avaliações de segurança abrangentes para as infra-estruturas e aplicações de um cliente.
