In a key panel titled "The voice of the industry: how ABRAJOGO facilitates dialogue between iGaming and the government", industry leaders shared important insights on how to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape in Brazil. Hosted at SiGMA Europe, the session emphasized the importance of collaboration between the sector and authorities, particularly through the role of ABRAJOGO, an association dedicated to amplifying the segment's debate in the country.
The discussion, featuring prominent figures such as Pedrão Bet (Online Betting) and Witoldo Hendrich (Online IPS), highlighted the need for a unified approach to address the unique challenges of Brazil's regulatory framework.
Witoldo Hendrich recounted the journey of ABRAJOGO, starting in 2018, when initial conversations with Brazilian legislators underscored the need for a more structured and controlled environment for dialogue.
He explained how ABRAJOGO emerged as a channel for the iGaming industry to establish a transparent and trustworthy relationship with Congress, facilitating informed decisions about regulation.
This association now acts as a centralized voice, advocating for the industry's interests and helping to streamline complex regulatory conversations.
Pedrão Bet further highlighted the importance of education in transforming public perception of gaming in Brazil, addressing misconceptions about its social impact.
He emphasized that ABRAJOGO's initiatives aim not only to inform government authorities but also to counter misleading narratives, promoting a positive and realistic image of the gaming sector.
In this critical regulatory journey, the partnership between BiS Americas (Brazil iGaming Summit) and SiGMA World represents a strategic alliance, with the goal of supporting Brazil's gaming industry by providing a robust platform for constructive dialogue and industry collaboration.
Together, BIS Americas and SiGMA World are poised to drive significant progress for Brazil's gaming ecosystem, setting a standard for responsible and well-informed regulatory development in Latin America.
