It's all about Latin America and Brazil in today's episode of iGaming Daily, as the Noticias and Noticias Brasil team, dive headfirst into Brazil’s evolving enforcement landscape. While new regulations signal progress, serious challenges remain — from tackling illegal platforms to the staggering fact that nearly 50% of the market is still dominated by unlicensed operators.
But there’s also a bright spot: Google is now allowing sports betting and online gaming apps in Brazil’s Play Store — a major step forward. Backed by both government and industry advocates, this change requires proof of licensing and is designed to steer users toward legitimate platforms, improve safety, and strengthen Brazil’s legal iGaming ecosystem.
We’ll also zoom out to the broader Latam region. In the Dominican Republic, lawmakers are pushing for a new bill aimed at improving transparency and tax collection in gaming. Meanwhile in Chile, a lack of clear iGaming regulation has opened the door to over 3,800 unregulated platforms, leaving state-run Polla Chilena struggling to compete.
From enforcement gaps to major policy shifts, this episode unpacks the complex regulatory landscape shaping the future of iGaming in Latin America.
Host: Fernando Noodt
Guests: Ricardo Assis, Lucia Gando, Elisa Marcante & Damian Martinez
Producer: Anaya McDonald
Editor: James Ross
