The opening panel of this year's EGR Power Latam will address the current scenario of the gaming sector in Latin America, strongly impacted by COVID-19, and the migration that the activity promoted to the online model. Panelists will discuss the positive aspects for 2021 and how accessibility and adaptability will be important for success this year. Kambi is sponsor of this year's EGR Power Latam.
Juan Camilo Carrasco, Colombian lawyer at the Asensi office and specialist in market regulation. Participating in the panel are Peruvian lawyer Carlos Fonseca Sarmiento, Spanish lawyer and partner at Loyra, and Thomas Carvalhaes, Product Manager for Brazil and Latin America and owner of Hero Gaming.
At 5:15 pm the panel on Brazil begins, with the suggestive title “Gaining momentum: Will 2021 be the year for Brazil?”. As the country is said to be potentially one of the largest gaming markets in the world once regulated, all eyes are still on Brazil.
Advances in the country in 2020 will be pointed out, such as the decision of the Brazilian Supreme Court to end the federal government's monopoly in lotteries and the direction of the regulation of the Sports Betting Law (Law No. 13756/2018). The panel will ask if these issues indicate a real change in the near future. Panelists will discuss what is still at stake for Brazil, including tax rates, regulation of the law and an analysis of the pandemic impacts on the country.
Participating in the panel on Brazil are Alessandro Valente, iGaming specialist in Latin America and co-founder of Super Afiliados; André Gelfi, Managing Partner of Betsson Group Brasil; and Thomas Carvalhaes, of Hero Gaming. Moderates the meeting Witoldo Hendrich Júnior, founder and partner of Online IPS and Hendrich Advogados.
The EGR Power Latam, which will have about 15 industry professionals, is an exclusive event and open to a selected group of guests and sponsors, with prior reservation, which can be done by clicking here.
