As regulatory shifts unfold across Latin America, operators navigate higher taxes, tougher compliance demands and mounting pressure on how markets grow and compete.
On Wednesday, June 10, Stage Five of SBC Summit Americas will host the Latin America Regulation & Compliance track, bringing together leading operators, regulators and legal experts to tackle the most urgent issues shaping the region’s betting ecosystem.
Delegates can expect expert analysis on tax rises on operators in Brazil and Colombia, Chile’s continued progress towards regulation, how Argentina can build a market that is both safe and sustainable and the factors driving iGaming growth in Mexico.
“Latin America’s regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly, and operators need to understand not just the rules, but the reasoning behind them,” said SBC Founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark. “This track brings together the voices shaping these frameworks to help stakeholders navigate complexity and identify where opportunity and compliance intersect.”
The track will open with a discussion of Brazil’s imminent tax hike on operators in the session “Don’t Kill the Little Guy: The Implications of Brazil’s GGR Rise.” Angelo Alberoni (Partner & COO, A2FBR), William Bonalume (COO, Open Gaming), Frederico Caputti (Managing Director, Brazil Office, Altenar), Iuri R. Castro (Project and Process Management Lead, Caixa) and Marcos Sabiá (CEO, Galerabet) will discuss whether rising operating costs will force local companies to sell to wealthier international competitors and whether this framework truly supports a healthy, diverse Brazilian market.
The session “iVamos Bien! The Implications of Colombia’s Emergency Tax” will look at the impact of a new 19% Value Added Tax on online gambling deposits and Colombia’s iGaming industry at large. Evert Montero Cardenas (President, Fecoljuegos) and Iliana Pineda (Chief Compliance Officer, Wplay) will examine industry concerns around declining operator revenues and how to stop players from turning to the black market.
The panel “Navigating the PR Labyrinth: Managing Publicity in Argentina’s iGaming Market” will examine how to build a sustainable market in Argentina amid increased public scrutiny. Agustín Li Gambi (Director General of Legal Affairs, Instituto Provincial de Juegos de Azar de Neuquén), Ezequiel Alejandro Domínguez (Director, LOTBA), and Santiago Gandara (CMO, BetWarrior) will discuss potential government proposals to ban advertising and explore how the industry can build long-lasting trust whilst ensuring a sustainable future.whatever you
Other panel sessions on the track include “Is Chile on the Cusp?,” which will examine Chile’s potential future as a regulated market and “Unlocking Growth in Mexican iGaming: Strategies for Revenue and Player Acquisition,” looking at the player, regulatory and commercial factors driving growth in Mexico.
SBC Summit Americas will take place at the Broward County Convention Center, Fort Lauderdale, from June 9-11 and host 10,000 delegates focused on the Latin American and North American betting and gaming markets.
