Italo Tavares de Moura

Italo Tavares de Moura is a Brazilian entrepreneur in the iGaming sector, best known as a co-founder of ST Soft Desenvolvimento de Programas de Computadores Ltda (StSoft), the technology company behind the NGX platform for online gambling operators. Through StSoft, he also serves as a founding partner of Apostou, a regulated sports-betting and iLottery operator licensed in Rio de Janeiro and Paraná, Brazil. His public statements emphasize compliance, responsible gaming, and anti-money laundering practices.

Tavares de Moura holds a degree from Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG). His early career details are not publicly available, but by December 2023 he was identified as a founding partner of Apostou in an interview with GamesBras, outlining the company's expansion plans. In 2024–2025, his role as sócio (partner) of ST Soft came under scrutiny during Brazil's Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI das Bets), which investigated the regulation of online betting. Official summons from the CPI and multiple news outlets confirmed his position at ST Soft during this period.

Despite the regulatory attention, Tavares de Moura remains active in the Brazilian iGaming industry, balancing his roles at ST Soft and Apostou. The NGX platform continues to power online gambling operations, while Apostou has secured licenses in two key states, positioning the ventures for growth in Brazil's evolving betting market.
