The world's highest betting table: Aposta Tudo and Malvino Salvador hanging from a balloon 10 feet high.
One of the most daring actions ever carried out in the betting entertainment market. On May 14th, ApostaTudo , a national betting platform, promoted a betting game more than 10 feet high, on a platform suspended by a hot air balloon, in the skies above the canyons of Santa Catarina.
At the table, actor Malvino Salvador, known for his career in Brazilian soap operas and also for his Jiu-Jitsu training, took on the role of croupier. Around him were three experienced extreme sports enthusiasts: businessman and skydiver Gabriel Castro, the project's creator, DJ and skydiver Bruno Alex, and his wife, also a skydiver, Bruna Bello.
With a cinematic setting and a security structure worthy of military operations, the "Aposta Tudo" (All In) event broke the world record for the highest-altitude gambling game ever held.
The thrill of a debut at great heights.
For Malvino Salvador, who is not a skydiver and had never participated in anything like it, the experience was transformative. “When I got to the platform, man, it was so peaceful… something that… The difference I can tell you is: I once did a bungee jump when I was 20 years old. When the winch went up, my legs were shaking. Man, here I was so at peace. I was enjoying it, a different feeling I had never experienced in my life. Truly. It was a good kind of adrenaline, not the scary kind. It was like, 'What a cool thing I'm experiencing,'” the actor recounted.
The safety logistics that allowed Malvino to participate without a parachute involved canyoning techniques (rappelling in canyons) and a highly trained team. The actor was lowered to the suspended platform and hoisted back into the balloon basket after the end of the match, which culminated with the three players celebrating their victories with spectacular parachute jumps.

The project was conceived and led by Gabriel Castro, an entrepreneur in the gaming sector since 2012 and an experienced skydiver with over 400 jumps. “It was a very challenging project, full of risks. My biggest concern was the responsibility for the safety of everyone involved. For that, I sought a highly professional and trained team. My experience as a skydiver helped me a lot, as did Bruno's, who has over 800 jumps. Every detail was rehearsed with precision,” explained Castro.
The goal of the campaign was to position the Aposta Tudo brand as a major player in the Brazilian entertainment and betting industry, highlighting its boldness, creativity, and commitment to safety.
A milestone in the entertainment industry.
With this risky yet carefully calculated move, Aposta Tudo not only made history in the betting industry but also caught the attention of the public, extreme sports fans, and the media. The company positions itself as a brand that goes beyond the digital realm, transforming gambling into an experience and entertainment into a spectacle.
The sky above Santa Catarina was the stage. The betting table was the platform. And the game? That, for sure, will remain forever etched in our memories.
