Gambling in the New Era: Insights from BiS SiGMA Americas 2025
At last year's SiGMA Americas 2025, held at the bustling Jardins stage of the Transamerica Expo Center in sunny Brazil, a thought-provoking panel titled 'A Fresh Start: Brazil's Engagement with the Regulated Gambling Landscape,' gathered experts to dissect the profound impact of Brazil's regulated iGaming industry.
Fabiola Jagger, co-founder and CEO of Caleta Gaming, helmed the discussion, diving into the ripple effects of regulation on consumer behavior, gaming habits, and budding trends while welcoming panelists Sebastián Perrier (Neco Games), Eliane Nunes (Salsa Technology), Rocio Moitino (Air Dice), and Ariel Litvack (Vebet). These industry titans deciphered the hurdles and advantages that have emerged from Brazil's regulatory changes.
Key Takeaways
- Operators' Evolution: Ariel Litvack expounded on how Brazil's gambling regulations have necessitated drastic operational changes for operators. These include tightened compliance requirements, such as Know Your Customer (KYC), responsible gaming measures, and financial transaction protocols, leading to a complex account-opening process when compared to other sectors like digital banking.
- Game Providers' Struggles: Rocio Moitino shed light on challenges faced by game providers, including the high costs associated with certification and the need to localize content for the Brazilian market. These barriers have caused delays in game certifications and hampered the variety of content made available to operators.
- Aggregators' Tussles: Eliane Nunes outlined the obstacles faced by aggregators in navigating higher costs and operational complexities while catering to both operators and game developers in meeting regulatory demands.
- Player Experience: While players encounter a safer gaming experience due to responsible gaming controls, the variety of available games has decreased as a result of regulatory constraints. This shift might present challenges for users accustomed to pre-regulation gaming practices, but it entices new players attracted to the safety and trust provided by a regulated environment.
- Future Prospects: Despite the myriad difficulties presented by regulation, panelists remained optimistic about the advantages to come, including increased innovation, heightened player safety, and market stability. The Australian iGaming industry's bright future is painted with growth and advancement prospects in the coming years.
