The sessions will cover recent and proposed tax increases in Brazil and Colombia, Chile’s progress towards a regulated framework, efforts to build a safe and sustainable market in Argentina, and the drivers of iGaming growth in Mexico.

Evert Montero Cardenas of Fecoljuegos and Iliana Pineda of Wplay will discuss the impact on operator revenues and concerns that players may migrate to unregulated platforms.
