He added, “We have assembled the voices of the people writing these regulations to help the industry navigate the complex environment and understand where regulation meets opportunity.”

Castro (Project and Process Management Leader, Caixa), and Marcos Sabiá (CEO, Galerabet) will discuss whether rising operational costs may force local companies to sell their platforms to better-capitalized international competitors, and whether the current regulatory framework truly supports a healthy and diverse Brazilian market.
The focus will then shift to Colombia, and the panel will be titled “We’re doing IVAmos well! The implications of the emergency tax in Colombia.” Evert Montero Cárdenas, President of Fecoljuegos, and Iliana Pineda, Chief Compliance Officer of Wplay, will discuss the implications of the 19% VAT that has been applied to online gaming deposits and the impact it is having on the revenue of gaming operators, as well as the threat to the legitimate market posed by the illegal market.
