In your sector within the industry, what trends or technological advances do you believe will dominate the market in 2024?
In the gaming and betting sector, I believe that one of the trends or technological advances that will dominate the market in 2024 is the rise of cloud gaming, allowing players to access games from any device and location without downloads or installations. The growth of mobile gaming, which will continue to be the largest and most diverse segment of the market, is driven by user preference for mobile devices, interest in live gaming and eSports, the search for personalized experiences and safety, and the importance of social and environmental responsibility, which will lead developers and suppliers to adopt measures to protect vulnerable actors, comply with regulatory requirements and contribute to the sustainable and responsible development of the industry.
What is your general opinion on the regulation of the sports betting and online gaming marketing Brazil that got approval in Congress?
My general opinion on regulating the Brazilian sports betting and online gaming market is that it is a positive and necessary step to organize and regularize an existing activity and generate high demand and significant income. I believe that the regulation will benefit both operators and players since it will establish a clear and safe legal framework, which will guarantee the quality, transparency and protection of the services and products offered, as well as the payment of taxes and the control of responsible gaming. I also believe that regulation must be flexible and adaptable to respond to market needs and changes and avoid bureaucracy and entry barriers that may discourage investment and innovation.
