At the end of 2022 there were three countries from Latin America that had everyone on the edge of their seats - Brazil, Chile and Peru. We all know that the first one is taking its time to regulate the sports betting industry and in recent iGaming Daily episodes we discussed some of the provisional measure details and other developments, but today we’ll be dedicating this space to the other two, Chile and Peru.

Both have approved different projects in the last few months and some are completely different from each other, for good and bad reasons.

In Chile’s case, betting was pretty much confirmed as illegal and deals between bookmakers and football teams are on their way to be banned.

Joining James Ross to discuss all things Chile and Peru on the latest episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit Barcelona, are Lucía Mouriño, Head of B2B Latam at SBC and Fernando Noodt, Business Journalist at SBC Noticias.

In October of last year, the online casino streaming landscape changed following Twitch’s introduction of a new set of rules due to concerns of consumer protection. 

At the time, Twitch noted that, before the new rules, safeguards around gambling content were being circumnavigated and the platform stressed that, post implementation, it would issue bans on content from websites offering slots, roulette or dice games that are not licensed in the US or other jurisdictions that provide sufficient consumer protection. 

In the latest episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit Barcelona, James Ross, along with CasinoBeats and SlotBeats's Business Journalist Danny Lee will discuss the future for streaming in the igaming sector.

Later this year, SBC Summit Barcelona will return between 19-21 September at the Fira Barcelona Montjuïc where one panel, entitled 'Sports & sponsorship landscape - growth markets and partnerships', will explore newer markers, as well as discussing how to increase properity in the European market.
