TaDa Gaming is going to participate in the Perú Gaming Show 2026, one of Latin America’s most influential B2B gaming exhibitions.

The show will be held at the Jockey Exhibition Centre, Lima, Perú, this 17-18 June and is slated to host 8000 delegates and 80 exhibits under one roof.

Building on its success in Brazil to further expand its footprint across Latin America, Stand 52 will be home to TaDa’s award-winning gamification tools and Crash games, unique fish-shooting titles and high performance slots.

Underpinned by TaDa’s expert glocalisation strategy for global core mechanics/local content, top performing slots include the Fortune Gems and Lucky series.

The Fortune Gems’ games are TaDa’s highest ranking slots in Latin America and include TaDa’s first celebrity co-branded release, Fortune Yuri 500, designed around Brazil’s leading streamer and influencer Yuri Brida.

The Lucky series was designed expressly for players in Latin America and all slots benefit from TaDa’s expert localisation and know-how which ensures the games feel made for the targeted player segment across themes, cultural sensibilities, and bonus preferences.

Access to high growth and regulating markets across the region is facilitated by TaDa’s wide range of global licences and certifications.

This gives the provider a leading edge on future proofing gaming experiences and has led to significant partnership deals with major brands including international full-service iGaming content and technology solutions’ provider, Bragg Gaming Group.

The TaDa team will also be available to share data-driven performance insights across key markets in Latin America and the flexible collaboration models that make TaDa a valuable partner.

Ray Lee, Director of Business Development at TaDa Gaming, said: “Latin America overall is a key strategic market for TaDa Gaming and Perú specifically so. Events like PGS enable us to connect directly with those stakeholders shaping the future. We welcome everyone to meet us at Stand 52 to discuss partnership development and insights into emerging regulatory and technological trends in Perú.”

TaDa’s presence at PGS underscores its commitment to expanding its footprint in regulated markets and strengthening partnerships throughout Latin America.

After more than three decades opening and operating gaming markets across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, SCCG Management is formally entering Latin America. The firm announces today the launch of its dedicated LATAM division and the opening of a new office in Miami, Florida.

The Miami office will serve as the U.S. base for SCCG LATAM, with a regional headquarters in Caracas, Venezuela to follow within the coming months. The new operation joins SCCG’s existing Latin American presence in Mexico City and Florianópolis, Brazil, which have supported clients across the region for years.

A purpose-built division for an emerging region

SCCG LATAM is combining SCCG Management’s three decades of global gaming expertise with deep local operational knowledge of Latin American markets, regulatory regimes, and consumer dynamics.

“Latin America has been on our radar for years,” said Stephen A. Crystal, founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “We have spent the past several months in working sessions with partners who know the regulators, the operators, and the banking infrastructure from the inside LATAM. With the right people on the ground, this becomes a region we can scale into properly.”

The structure intentionally puts SCCG’s brand at the front. Latin American gaming has historically suffered from operators without international credibility and international consultants without local depth. SCCG LATAM is built to close that gap with the operational resolve of its Founder & CEO Stephen Crystal at the helm.

Why LATAM, why now

Three forces are converging in 2026 to make this the right moment.

First, regulatory maturity. Markets long held back by ambiguity are clarifying. Venezuela is reopening its gaming sector. Chile is finalizing its online gambling framework. Argentina’s provincial regulators are accepting new entrants. Peru and Colombia have established licensing regimes attractive to international capital.

Second, banking and payment infrastructure is improving. The OFAC General License 57 issued in April 2026 authorized U.S. financial institutions to provide services to four named Venezuelan state banks, materially reducing payment friction for operators considering the market.

Third, regional convergence. As LATAM operators look to expand across borders and international operators look to enter, the gap between strategy and execution is widening. SCCG LATAM bridges it.

What SCCG LATAM does

The new division provides end-to-end advisory across the Latin American gaming and iGaming sector. Services include market entry strategy, operator partnership facilitation, regulatory and government affairs, recapitalization and M&A advisory, and trade event organization.

Active focus markets include Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Colombia. SCCG continues to maintain its existing presence in Mexico and operates separately in Brazil where the language and regulatory specificity warrant a dedicated approach.

Published in Poder360, this opinion article by Leo Baptista, founder of Pay4fun,  explores why Pix has become one of the most strategic tools in combating Brazil’s illegal betting market and why financial tracking may be more effective than simply blocking websites.

There is currently a recurring question whenever we talk about the betting market in Brazil: why does the illegal sector continue to operate even after regulation?

The answer is simple and, at the same time, uncomfortable: because we still have not tackled the problem in the most effective way.

For a long time, efforts to combat illegal betting focused on blocking websites.

It is an important measure, but an insufficient one.

The dynamic is familiar: one domain is blocked today, another appears tomorrow with slight variations.

It is an almost endless task, often described by the industry itself as “a losing battle.”

If we truly want to be effective, we need to change the approach.

The path is different: follow the money, and this is precisely where Brazil has an enormous competitive advantage: Pix.

Today, Pix is the only payment method accepted in Brazil’s betting market.

For the first time, this gives authorities an instrument capable not only of tracking, but mainly interrupting, the financial flow that sustains these operations.

When you cut the payment flow, you cut the business itself.

This movement has already begun.

The Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) now has stronger enforcement tools against institutions operating illegally.

ines can reach extremely significant amounts. At the same time, the Central Bank has substantially increased requirements for payment institutions.

This second point is fundamental.

In recent years, Brazil witnessed a proliferation of smaller institutions, often with weak control structures.

With stricter requirements related to capital, compliance, and anti-money laundering measures, many of these operations have left the market.

In practice, this has already reduced space for illegal activity. But it is still not enough.

The irregular market continues to represent a significant share of the sector: illegal betting currently accounts for between 41% and 51% of Brazil’s betting market, according to research conducted by Instituto Locomotiva and LCA Consultoria Econômica.

In other words, we are talking about an enormous volume of resources that fail to generate taxes, jobs, and consumer protection, losses that could reach up to R$40 billion per year in tax revenue, according to the same industry estimates.

This leads to another important point: it makes little sense to discuss higher tax burdens or additional restrictions for companies operating within the regulated market while such a large portion continues operating outside the law.

If pressure increases on regulated operators, the effect is direct: operators, and often users themselves,  are pushed toward the illegal market.

The most efficient path to increasing tax revenue is not raising taxes.

It is bringing illegal activity into the legal market. If that happens, the regulated sector could practically double in size, and tax collection would grow accordingly.

That is why the focus must be clear: enforcement.

Supervision of payment methods, providers, and operators on both sides of the market is essential.

There is no longer room for companies to remain “on the fence,” simultaneously serving both regulated and illegal operations.

Another area that needs advancement is regulatory integration.

The Central Bank and the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting must work increasingly closely together. Combating illegal activity depends directly on this coordination.

Brazil has built a solid regulatory model for betting in a relatively short period of time.

The market is functioning, generating revenue, jobs, and user protection. Now, the country is entering a new phase: consolidation.

At this stage, there should be no doubt about where efforts must be concentrated.

The fight against the illegal market will not happen on the surface by simply taking down websites. It will happen through financial flows. Pix gives us that possibility.

Perhaps it is the most powerful tool we currently have. The question is not whether it can help. The real question is how willing we are to use it effectively.
