Earlier this week, Brazil’s President Lula da Silva signed the provisional measure that is set to regulate the sports betting industry in the country.

While the Congress now has 120 days to analyse the projects and finalise the details, this is now seen as the final step that the Brazilian market needed to become a regulated entity.

In general, the provisional measure doesn’t change much from what we previously mentioned in past episodes of the podcast when delving further into the current state of the Brazilian market, but on today’s episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit Latinoamérica, James Ross, along with Lucía Mouriño and Isadora Marcante, will be discussing the things that have changed, such as taxing and revenue expectations.

Brazil is often introduced as a sleeping giant, but many fail to see that it’s already awake and almost fully working.

While it’s only pending a set of rules, operators, suppliers, associations and government officials, have joined efforts to work around the regulations and take advantage of all the possibilities as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, operators are shaping their marketing strategies to get market share even before the industry officially launches in Brazil.

Today on iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit Latinoamérica, James Ross is joined by Lucía Mouriño, Isadora Marcante and SBC's VP marketing, Americas, Cristian Robalino, to discuss some of these strategies and analyse what operators interested in a licence can do to increase brand exposure in a soon to be launched market without being too aggressive.

Robalino also delves deeper into SBC's brand new event, SBC Summit Rio, March 5-7, 2024 being held at the iconic Windsor Barra Hotel.
