In anticipation of the Belgian Royal Decree coming into effect on 1 July, we sat down with Emmanuel Mewissen, CEO at GAMING1, to talk about the operator’s commitment to responsible gaming, how it will be retaining customers in a ‘limitless’ digital landscape – as well as the company’s exciting future plans.

 

As one of Belgium, the Netherlands and France’s most exciting operators, can you tell us a bit about your business there and how are your brands Circus and 777 performing?

Thank you! Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Switzerland are our core markets – all of which offer some of Europe’s best opportunities. We want to focus on the areas in which we are currently present and see what we need to do to improve in these areas. Our mission is always to offer the best possible experience and for our customers to have fun and enjoy themselves in a responsible and controlled way.

Starting with land-based, our network across all three markets is very consistent. We own 12 casinos in Belgium, France and Switzerland. In Belgium, we have recently inaugurated our first resort, the Circus Casino Resort in Namur. This innovative formula combines casino activities with a wellness centre, restaurant, hotel and areas for receptions and conferences.

Of course, Circus and 777 are part of our multi-brand approach and they’re performing very well. In line with that, we are always looking to improve our service even more on the digital front, 777 is present in four countries (BE, CH, SP, NL) and Circus online in two countries (BE, NL). With Circus, we aim to offer a 360-degree customer experience with the combination of both our terrestrial and digital offerings.

As part of our approach to responsible gaming – which is a core brand ethos that we are truly committed to, we focus on the countries in which we are already present to solidify our value proposition. For a brand to perform well in a country, it’s like a mathematical equation. Setting up a local sales unit in the market where you are offering enables you to develop your local knowledge. This helps you to build a solid network and properly develop the business based on customer habits and needs.

 

With the advent of markedly strict advertising regulation coming into place in Belgium via the Royal Decree, how is GAMING1 preparing for such a major shift in market conditions?

Regulated Belgian operators like us agree with the desire to limit excessive advertising, but we must ensure that this decision does not drive players into the illegal industry – which is a real risk. We live in a limitless and ever-expanding digital world. As a result, independently to this Royal Decree, only legal operators will follow the law and, in doing so, they risk becoming weak and invisible, with the digital space offering plenty of opportunity for players to go offshore.

How can we protect consumers from illegal operators who do not respect these rules? It’s easy to observe illegal operators engaging in influence marketing on social media by promoting poker tournaments and celebrities with thousands of followers. This diverts the attention of players who go and play on unregulated sites. This is why visibility and competitiveness are important for a legal operator. The facts and figures will show in the future that these bans on marketing visibility will have the opposite effect, and that prevention will suffer as a result.

We, at GAMING1, didn’t wait for the Royal Decree to come into force to work actively on prevention and player protection. Prevention and protection are part of our corporate strategy. Years ago, we decided to develop a tool based on artificial intelligence that detects changes or risky behaviour at an early stage.

The detection tool is now operational and is based on indicators that were identified thanks to our collaboration with experts and university scientists specialising in addictive behaviour. In addition, we comply with legal measures such as the EPIS list, which is a legal protection list that bans certain types of customers (on the basis of certain functions, minors, debt mediation, etc.).

At a group level and for all our brands and partnered brands, we adopt a global approach to prevent addiction and make sure we only operate on regulated markets. In addition, we now comply with the Belgian Royal Decree, and we have adapted our websites, platforms, and marketing accordingly for our Belgian brands. This decree comes into force on 1st July 2023.

 

How do you believe this new set of regulations will affect the operating environment for local brands? Do you see it affecting the playing field significantly?

If you radically restrict advertising, including sponsorship, and lock the country into a narrow regulatory space, you will probably fail to see the desired result because you are out of touch with digital and international realities. Legal operators will become invisible with the next level of prohibition, and this will pave the way for the illegal market with all the risks associated with the absence of control. We can already see that 20% of Belgian players visit such sites.

This new law also tackles sponsorship. As far as this part is concerned, we have been sponsoring various associations, teams and sporting events for many years. This goes well beyond a commercial positioning and allows us, among other things, to convey messages about responsible play, as shown by our latest messages with the EGR-Award winning ‘Time To Play Responsibly’ campaign with former footballer Ronaldinho during the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The Royal Decree provides for a total ban on sports sponsorship from 2028 and we believe sports clubs, medias and events in Belgium will suffer as a result of this measure.

In short, I see the royal decree as a real obstacle for Belgium’s regulated private operators because, with these drastic constraints and restrictions, we will lack visibility and competitiveness compared to illegal operators who will continue to capture Belgian customers.

It’s also a bad political decision, because it completely misses the real challenge, which is customer protection. The debate is not about banning advertising as such, but about how to protect players and, above all, what to protect them against. The people who want to play will always find out a way to play.

This is why the worst dangers are illegal operators who have no regulation or form of prevention. This royal decree does not take account of the economic and digital reality of our modern consumption patterns, and this observation is independent of our industry since it is a general and societal fact.

 

Onto one very exciting area to keep an eye on – there’s talk of France regulating online casino for the first time. What’s your take on this possibility and will you have big plans for the market if this becomes a reality?

Developing our CIRCUS brand in France almost six years ago was obviously with some hope that one day, France would finally adapt its casino law to address the digital challenges. We have eight operations in France – seven casinos and one club in Paris. Our club in Paris performs well and is one of the poker market leaders in France. Having our origin outside France, we felt proud in 2019 to be granted a licence to operate in Paris. It demonstrates that we are very serious about accepting our responsibilities as a business.

Nevertheless, we’re surprised France does not to allow online casinos despite being Europe’s largest market. As a consequence, France has become a huge casino black market – and this is detrimental to player protection of course, but also to the country’s economy and employment opportunities. Giving that unfair competition, this is also detrimental to the existing casinos and the budget of the numerous localities that host these regulated land-based casinos.

 

Last but not least, with six months to go in 2023, what are GAMING1’s upcoming plans and what can we look forward to?

To look forward to – we will continue improving our responsible gambling software and prevention tools which will ensure we are in a position that meets the regulator’s request in terms of customers’ protection. Responsible gaming has always been a core part of our philosophy, and one we take great pride in.

With that – we want to appear trustworthy to regulators so that we can showcase that we truly believe in a safe and responsible entertainment experience. With that, we also want to show that the legal sector is an expert and is also the solution to create prevention. Also, as a work in progress, we want the customer journey to be a unique omnichannel experience in the next two years.

Last but not least, our plan will always be to ensure that our customers have fun and enjoy their experience, as after all, we must always remember that this is the entertainment industry. We consider our activities in a sustainable way, and this will continue to shape a large part of our approach.

2026 Gaming in Holland Conference: #ReclaimTheMarket & More

Published

on

2026-gaming-in-holland-conference:-#reclaimthemarket-&-more

Next week, the annual Gaming in Holland Conference returns to Amsterdam. Willem van Oort, independent iGaming consultant and founder of Gaming in Holland shares what attendees can look forward to at this year’s event.

What can attendees expect from this year’s conference?

As in previous years, the Gaming in Holland Conference will bring together the leading decision makers from the Dutch regulated gambling industry. Licensed operators, regulatory representatives, and key stakeholders from across the sector will all be in attendance.

This year’s speaker lineup includes the CEOs of Nederlandse Loterij and Holland Casino. In addition, FDJ, the new owner of Unibet, will be represented by a senior executive who will discuss the company’s perspective on the current Dutch market landscape.

The Netherlands Gambling Authority will also contribute two separate presentations: one focused on the regulator’s approach to upcoming legislation, and another dedicated to its new approach to player protection.

Alongside an extensive conference agenda, attendees will have plenty of opportunities to network and connect with industry leaders – including during the event’s traditional boat tour through Amsterdam’s iconic canals.

Apart from these highlights, are there other sessions you are looking forward to?

Like other years, H2 Gambling Capital will be sharing its latest growth projections of the Dutch market. This always offers a solid departure point for other discussions.

I am also looking forward to the presentation by Blask, which will offer an in-depth look at what kind of games Dutch players are interested in, as well as which game categories are featured prominently by both licensed and unlicensed operators. Do player demand and operators’ offerings actually match up? We will find out at the Conference.

Even more importantly, the Dutch government is expected to imminently publish a specific set of proposals to amend the Remote Gambling Act – including cross-operator deposit limits, an increased minimum age for high-risk games of chance, and much more.

Right now, we still think this will happen before this year’s conference kicks off. In that case, we will be hearing directly from the regulator how, exactly, the rules will change.

In addition to these specific sessions, tell us a little bit more about the idea behind Gaming in Holland’s new “Reclaim the Market” mission statement.

As is often the case in regulated markets facing stricter compliance measures, the Dutch regulated iGaming sector has seen market share shift toward increasingly aggressive offshore operators. This is a trend we want to halt – and ideally reverse. That ambition is at the heart of our “Reclaim the Market” initiative.

The good news is that licensed operators collectively possess a considerable amount of market power, enabling them to apply meaningful pressure on suppliers, payment providers, marketing affiliates, and other service providers that continue to facilitate the day-to-day operations of offshore operators. The key challenge lies in coordinating these efforts effectively so that this influence delivers tangible results.

Regulatory involvement is also essential. Neither licensed operators nor regulators benefit from the continued growth of the offshore market, making this an area where all parties share a strong common interest.

Looking a bit farther ahead, what do you think is necessary to keep the black market in check long-term?

I think that B2B licensing will become inevitable. It will be a lot of work for regulators, but I am convinced that this is the only way to introduce a meaningful separation, as well as a qualitative difference between licensed and unlicensed offerings. Players can tell that the onshore product is not evidently superior, but still, we expect them to accept worse RTP percentages due to the tax obligations and higher compliance burdens of licensed operators. While players generally prefer to play in the legal market, they will not do so at any price. That is just basic economics.

Even so, I believe the greatest opportunity for change lies in shifting societal attitudes toward gambling. In the Netherlands, for example, gambling is still generally viewed as somewhat taboo or socially questionable. In my view, that stigma can make it easier for players to drift toward illegal operators.

But what if gambling were treated as a fully legitimate and transparent form of entertainment? If it became more normalized and openly accepted, players might naturally gravitate toward licensed operators as the obvious and responsible choice.

That, I believe, is where significant progress can still be made.

The 2026 Gaming in Holland Conference takes place on June 4 at the KIT Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. The full conference agenda is available here. Or click here to register.

“Para EGT, el crecimiento sostenible en Brasil depende de la transparencia”

Published

on

“para-egt,-el-crecimiento-sostenible-en-brasil-depende-de-la-transparencia”

EGT y EGT Digital llegaron a Brasil con una trayectoria consolidada en más de 85 jurisdicciones, bajo la firme decisión de no replicar un modelo internacional en un mercado que exige una adaptación local.

Al frente de esa estrategia se encuentra Celina Guedes, quien lidera la expansión de la compañía en los mercados brasileños de juego, casinos y VLT.

Con más de 20 años de experiencia en los segmentos de casinos físicos y online en Brasil y América Latina, Guedes ha estructurado su enfoque en torno a lo que denomina “glocalización”: aplicar estándares tecnológicos globales al comportamiento, la regulación y las expectativas específicas del jugador brasileño.

Los resultados ya son visibles. EGT ganó la categoría de Mejor Solución VLT en los BiS Awards 2026. El despliegue en Paraíba validó el modelo VLT a escala operativa, con una recurrencia y un compromiso (engagement) por parte de los usuarios que superaron las proyecciones iniciales. En Río de Janeiro, la solución superó la Prueba de Concepto con Loterj, abriendo las puertas a uno de los mercados de juego más estratégicos del país.

In esta entrevista, Guedes analiza qué diferenció a EGT en el competitivo mercado brasileño, cómo funciona la integración omnicanal en la práctica y por qué cree que el crecimiento a largo plazo de la industria depende de la regulación, la transparencia y el juego responsable; no a pesar de ellos, sino gracias a ellos.

Celina, ¡felicitaciones por los BiS Awards 2026! EGT y EGT Digital ganaron en la categoría de Mejor Solución VLT. En tu opinión, ¿cuál fue el “factor X” que diferenció a su producto en un mercado tan competitivo como el de Brasil este año?

Celina Guedes – Creo que nuestro principal diferenciador fue la combinación de una tecnología robusta, la experiencia del jugador y la adaptabilidad al mercado brasileño. EGT ya cuenta con una trayectoria global consolidada en más de 85 jurisdicciones, pero en Brasil no nos limitamos a replicar un modelo internacional: localizamos la solución.

El mercado brasileño exige rendimiento, estabilidad, seguridad regulatoria y, al mismo tiempo, un entretenimiento accesible e intuitivo. Logramos entregar exactamente ese equilibrio a través de una solución VLT omnicanal que es altamente escalable y cuenta con una amplia aceptación por parte de los jugadores.

Además, la integración entre EGT y EGT Digital nos permitió ofrecer un ecosistema completo para operadores y loterías estatales, lo cual es esencial en un entorno cada vez más competitivo y regulado.

Mencionaste que EGT busca establecer “nuevos estándares más altos”. ¿Cómo equilibra la compañía la tecnología global proveniente de Bulgaria con las especificidades culturales y regulatorias del jugador brasileño?

Este equilibrio se logra precisamente porque EGT cuenta con experiencia global pero opera localmente con equipos que entienden profundamente cada mercado.

Brasil tiene características muy específicas: el comportamiento del jugador, el perfil de consumo, una legislación en evolución e incluso preferencias visuales y de jugabilidad. Es por eso que trabajamos en estrecha colaboración con los operadores y los organismos reguladores para adaptar las interfaces, los recorridos del usuario, los métodos de pago, la comunicación y las funciones a las expectativas brasileñas.

Al mismo tiempo, mantenemos los estándares internacionales de seguridad, cumplimiento y estabilidad tecnológica, los cuales son reconocidos a nivel mundial. Esta combinación de experiencia global e inteligencia local es uno de los pilares de nuestro crecimiento en el país.

La operación de Paraíba fue un hito en cuanto a despliegue a gran escala. ¿Cuáles fueron los principales aprendizajes de este proyecto y qué dicen los números iniciales de rendimiento sobre la aceptación del formato VLT por parte de los usuarios?

Paraíba fue extremadamente importante porque validó, en la práctica y a escala operativa, el potencial del modelo VLT en Brasil.

El principal aprendizaje fue la fuerte demanda que existe por un producto regulado que sea seguro y ofrezca una experiencia de entretenimiento de alta calidad. El público respondió de manera muy positiva desde los primeros meses de operación.

Los indicadores iniciales superaron nuestras expectativas en términos de recurrencia de usuarios, compromiso (engagement) y estabilidad operativa. Esto demuestra que los jugadores brasileños están abiertos al formato VLT cuando se presenta dentro de un entorno tecnológico regulado, transparente y confiable.

Respecto a Río de Janeiro: el producto superó la Prueba de Concepto (PoC) con Loterj. ¿Qué puede esperar el mercado de Río de este lanzamiento y cómo planea EGT escalar esta solución a otros estados que están configurando sus loterías en 2026?

Río de Janeiro es un mercado estratégico para toda la industria, y la aprobación de la PoC fue un paso muy relevante.

El mercado puede esperar una solución moderna y segura, diseñada para ofrecer una experiencia física y digital integrada. Nuestro objetivo no es solo desplegar terminales, sino construir un ecosistema sostenible para operadores, loterías y jugadores.

Creemos que muchos estados están observando de cerca los modelos que se están implementando ahora. Por lo tanto, nuestro enfoque es demostrar la eficiencia operativa, la capacidad de generación de ingresos y la responsabilidad regulatoria.

EGT está preparada para escalar rápidamente, ya que cuenta con la infraestructura tecnológica, la experiencia internacional y la adaptabilidad regulatoria necesarias para respaldar nuevos proyectos estatales en diferentes etapas de madurez.

La solución de EGT se describe como completamente omnicanal. Para nuestra audiencia, ¿cómo funciona en la práctica esta integración entre las terminales físicas y la plataforma digital? ¿El jugador se mueve entre ambos mundos con una sola cuenta?

Sí. Ese es uno de nuestros principales diferenciadores.

Los jugadores pueden comenzar su experiencia en una terminal física y continuar en el entorno digital utilizando la misma cuenta, billetera (wallet) e historial de interacción. Esto crea un recorrido fluido, moderno y conveniente.

La integración omnicanal permite a los operadores tener una visión unificada del comportamiento del usuario, lo que viabiliza campañas más inteligentes, programas de fidelización y mecanismos avanzados de cumplimiento.

En la práctica, conectamos lo mejor de ambos mundos: la conveniencia de lo digital con la presencia física y el alcance de las terminales VLT.

In un escenario donde el gobierno está bloqueando plataformas sin solvencia económica, ¿cómo protege la seguridad y transparencia del ecosistema de EGT Digital tanto a los operadores como a los usuarios finales?

Este movimiento regulatorio refuerza algo que EGT siempre ha defendido: el crecimiento sostenible depende de la regulación, la transparencia y la responsabilidad.

Toda la infraestructura de EGT Digital opera bajo estrictos estándares internacionales de cumplimiento, certificación y seguridad tecnológica. Trabajamos con sistemas auditables, controles antifraude, trazabilidad operativa, protección de datos y monitoreo continuo.

Esto protege a los operadores desde el punto de vista regulatorio y financiero, pero también brinda a los consumidores la confianza de utilizar una plataforma legítima, segura y supervisada. En un mercado que madura rápidamente, las empresas sólidas con una trayectoria internacional consistente ganan protagonismo de forma natural.

Estamos viendo un intenso debate en Brasilia sobre la ludopatía y el endeudamiento de los hogares. ¿Cómo incorpora la tecnología VLT de EGT mecanismos de Juego Responsable y controles de gasto para prevenir conductas compulsivas?

El Juego Responsable es un tema central para EGT a nivel global y también en Brasil.

Nuestra tecnología incluye herramientas para el control del tiempo de sesión, límites de depósito y de apuestas, alertas de comportamiento de riesgo y mecanismos de autoexclusión. Además, los operadores pueden monitorear patrones de comportamiento sospechosos de manera mucho más efectiva a través de nuestra tecnología.

Creemos que la regulación y la innovación deben ir de la mano. El objetivo de la industria debe ser proporcionar un entretenimiento seguro, sostenible y transparente.

Este es un debate importante y saludable para la madurez del sector, y EGT quiere ser parte de la construcción de un mercado responsable a largo plazo.

Celina, para cerrar: el Grupo EGT ya está presente en 85 jurisdicciones. Con Brasil alcanzando su madurez en 2026, ¿dónde ves a EGT Digital en el ranking nacional durante los próximos dos años?

Brasil se ha convertido en uno de los mercados de juegos y apuestas más estratégicos del mundo, y EGT ve un enorme potencial de crecimiento aquí.

Durante los próximos dos años, nuestro objetivo es consolidar a EGT y EGT Digital entre los proveedores líderes de tecnología y soluciones omnicanal en el país, expandiendo la presencia tanto en el segmento físico como en el digital.

Estamos invirtiendo fuertemente en expansión operativa, alianzas locales, innovación tecnológica y relaciones institucionales. Creemos que solo estamos al comienzo de la transformación de este mercado en Brasil.

Nuestro enfoque no es solo el crecimiento en números, sino construir una operación sólida y sostenible, reconocida por su excelencia tecnológica y la confianza del mercado.

“For EGT, sustainable growth in Brazil depends on transparency”

Published

“for-egt,-sustainable-growth-in-brazil-depends-on-transparency”

EGT and EGT Digital arrived in Brazil with a consolidated track record across more than 85 jurisdictions — and a deliberate choice not to replicate an international model in a market that demands local adaptation.

At the centre of that strategy is Celina Guedes, who leads the company’s expansion in Brazil’s gaming, casino and VLT markets.

With over 20 years of experience across land-based and online casino segments in Brazil and Latin America, Guedes has built her approach around what she calls “glocalization” ,  applying global technology standards to the specific behaviour, regulation and expectations of the Brazilian player.

The results are becoming visible. EGT won the Best VLT Solution category at the BiS Awards 2026. The Paraíba rollout validated the VLT model at operational scale, with user recurrence and engagement exceeding initial projections. In Rio de Janeiro, the solution passed the Proof of Concept with Loterj, opening the door to one of the country’s most strategic gaming markets.

In this interview, Guedes discusses what differentiated EGT in a competitive Brazilian market, how omnichannel integration works in practice, and why she believes the industry’s long-term growth depends on regulation, transparency and responsible gaming, not despite them, but because of them.

Celina, congratulations on the BiS Awards 2026! EGT and EGT Digital won in the Best VLT Solution category. In your view, what was the “X factor” that set your product apart in such a competitive market as Brazil this year?

Celina Guedes – I believe our key differentiator was the combination of robust technology, player experience, and adaptability to the Brazilian market. EGT already has a consolidated global track record across more than 85 jurisdictions, but in Brazil we did not simply replicate an international model, we localized the solution.

The Brazilian market demands performance, stability, regulatory security, and at the same time accessible and intuitive entertainment. We were able to deliver exactly that balance through an omnichannel VLT solution that is highly scalable and widely accepted by players.

In addition, the integration between EGT and EGT Digital allowed us to offer a complete ecosystem for operators and state lotteries, which is essential in an increasingly competitive and regulated environment.

You mentioned that EGT seeks to establish “higher new standards.” How does the company balance global technology from Bulgaria with the cultural and regulatory specifics of the Brazilian player?

This balance is achieved precisely because EGT has global expertise but operates locally with teams that deeply understand each market.

Brazil has very specific characteristics: player behavior, consumption profile, evolving legislation, and even visual and gameplay preferences. That is why we work closely with operators and regulatory bodies to adapt interfaces, user journeys, payment methods, communication, and features to Brazilian expectations.

At the same time, we maintain international standards of security, compliance, and technological stability, which are globally recognized. This combination of global experience and local intelligence is one of the pillars of our growth in the country.

The Paraíba operation was a large-scale rollout milestone. What were the key learnings from this project, and what do the initial performance numbers say about user acceptance of the VLT format?

Paraíba was extremely important because it validated, in practice, the potential of the VLT model in Brazil at operational scale.

The main learning was the strong demand for a regulated product that is safe and offers a high-quality entertainment experience. The audience responded very positively from the first months of operation.

Initial indicators exceeded our expectations in terms of user recurrence, engagement, and operational stability. This shows that Brazilian players are open to the VLT format when it is presented within a regulated, transparent, and reliable technological environment.

Regarding Rio de Janeiro: the product passed the Proof of Concept (PoC) with Loterj. What can the Rio market expect from this launch, and how does EGT plan to scale this solution to other states shaping their lotteries in 2026?

Rio de Janeiro is a strategic market for the entire industry, and the PoC approval was a highly relevant step.

The market can expect a modern, secure solution designed to deliver an integrated physical and digital experience. Our goal is not only to deploy terminals, but to build a sustainable ecosystem for operators, lotteries, and players.

We believe many states are closely observing the models being implemented now. Therefore, our focus is to demonstrate operational efficiency, revenue generation capacity, and regulatory responsibility.

EGT is prepared to scale quickly, as it already has technological infrastructure, international experience, and regulatory adaptability to support new state projects at different stages of maturity.

 The EGT solution is described as fully omnichannel. For our audience, how does this integration between physical terminals and the digital platform work in practice? Does the player move between both worlds with a single account?

Yes. That is one of our main differentiators. Players can start their experience on a physical terminal and continue in the digital environment using the same account, wallet, and interaction history. This creates a seamless, modern, and convenient journey.

The omnichannel integration allows operators to have a unified view of user behavior, enabling smarter campaigns, loyalty programs, and advanced compliance mechanisms.

In practice, we connect the best of both worlds: the convenience of digital with the physical presence and reach of VLT terminals.

In a scenario where the government is blocking platforms without economic substance, how does the security and transparency of the EGT Digital ecosystem protect both operators and end users?

This regulatory movement reinforces something EGT has always supported: sustainable growth depends on regulation, transparency, and responsibility.

All EGT Digital infrastructure operates under strict international standards of compliance, certification, and technological security. We work with auditable systems, anti-fraud controls, operational traceability, data protection, and continuous monitoring.

This protects operators from a regulatory and financial standpoint, but also gives consumers the confidence of using a legitimate, secure, and supervised platform.

In a rapidly maturing market, solid companies with a consistent international track record naturally gain prominence.

We are seeing an intense debate in Brasília about gambling addiction and household debt. How does EGT VLT technology incorporate Responsible Gaming mechanisms and spending controls to prevent compulsive behavior?

Responsible Gaming is a core topic for EGT globally and also in Brazil.

Our technology includes tools for session time control, deposit and betting limits, risk behavior alerts, and self-exclusion mechanisms. In addition, operators can monitor suspicious behavioral patterns much more effectively through our technology.

We believe regulation and innovation must go hand in hand. The industry’s goal should be to provide safe, sustainable, and transparent entertainment.

This is an important and healthy debate for the sector’s maturity, and EGT wants to be part of building a long-term responsible market.

Celina, to close: EGT Group is already present in 85 jurisdictions. With Brazil reaching maturity in 2026, where do you see EGT Digital in the national ranking over the next two years?

Brazil has become one of the most strategic gaming and betting markets in the world, and EGT sees enormous growth potential here.

Over the next two years, our goal is to consolidate EGT and EGT Digital among the leading technology and omnichannel solution providers in the country, expanding presence in both physical and digital segments.

We are heavily investing in operational expansion, local partnerships, technological innovation, and institutional relationships. We believe we are still at the beginning of the transformation of this market in Brazil.

Our focus is not only growth in numbers, but building a solid, sustainable operation recognized for technological excellence and market trust.
