Javier Manceñido Laczo, Optima Gaming Sales VP

"We have a very great expectation for working in the Brazilian market"

Javier Manceñido Laczo was in Brazil last week participating in the 2018 edition of the Brazilian Gaming Congress in São Paulo. During the event, he talked with GMB about the future plans of Optima for Brazil waiting for legalization of the gaming activity in the country. 'It's a very interesting market, but it is also a little disappointment that nothing happens yet,' he said.

As a solid and innovative interactive sports betting and e-gaming software and services company, Optima has acquired full intellectual property rights to the GTECH MarginMaker sports betting and gaming platform, and it is a licensed B2B supplier of turnkey sports betting and gaming solutions under its Malta licences.

Optima’s management team has many years of experience working on the senior management teams of successful online gaming operators and offers this knowledge as an inclusive part of designing and implementing solutions for partners. The company continue to invest in efficient, innovative and solid technology, product and service to keep partners at the forefront of the industry with a global reach.

GMB - Tell us a little bit about Optima's track record, what products and which markets do you currently serve?
Javier Manceñido Laczo - Optima is a provider of platforms and technology to give infrastructure for online gambling and sports betting. We work in markets such as the United Kingdom, Africa, Bulgaria, Scandinavia; we are seeing what we are going to do in Latin America and undoubtedly Brazil is a more than interesting market for the future.

What is your assessment of the process of gaming legalization in Brazil?
It's interesting. No doubt everyone is waiting for something to happen towards regulation. However, followed by a very great expectation, because it is a very interesting market, there is also a little disappointment that nothing happens yet.

Does Optima intend to operate in the Brazilian market after sector regulation? What are your projects?
At first, yes. We work only in regulated markets and serve the operators of online games and sports betting.

What is your expectation for the online gaming and sports betting industry in Brazil?
The volume of game that already exists in the Brazilian market is a very good one, however, we need a regulation to be able to offer our products to operators that have a legal platform of traffic.
