The Brazilian iGaming Summit (BiS) 2022 is coming to São Paulo, Brazil, at the end of this month. With it comes the return of one of the most anticipated events for the Latin American gaming industry. As a dedicated member of the market, gaming operator Betcris will attend the important event.

All activities related to the BiS 2022 will take place in the Espaço Boulevard JK, International Plaza building, in São Paulo on June 28 and 29. In relation to the programming of the event, this year, a series of panels and conferences with very high-level guests will seek to improve and enhance the experience of the participants.

Betcris will have a booth at the event, as well. It will be manned by its Betcris Brazil team with the support of the corporate Betcris team. On behalf of Betcris Brazil will be Rodrigo Aguilar, CRM Manager, and Paula Carvalho, Betcris Brazil’s Content Manager. Participating from the corporate side will be Fernando Garita, Director of Business Development.

BiS 2022 adds something new, the LATAM Affiliates segment. This meeting will promote the exchange of experts in the area of affiliation. It will also include the presence of the main companies in the sector, speakers and digital media, as well as hundreds of affiliates to form a professional networking environment.

BiS 2022 will again bring together all the major players in the affiliate, sports betting and lottery segments. This event is already a reference point for international actors by hosting regulators, operators and authorities as well as ambassadors and representatives from global actors.

Many companies from all three industries are closely following the development of the regulation process, as Brazil is a leader in the gambling and sports betting industry. BiS 2022 will provide relevant and up-to-date content to help project the future market.

Betcris is proud of its connections to Brazil. It was already a sponsor of several sports teams in Latin America, as well as an official sponsor of the NFL and MLB for the area. It recently entered new strategic alliances with the country’s Ceará and Fortaleza soccer clubs. These two teams are the only ones from the Northeast region to play in the First Division of the Campeonato Brasileiro 2022.

In addition, Brazilian soccer phenom Ronaldinho has been a Betcris ambassador for several years. This past February, he was joined by fellow Brazilian athlete Natalia Guitler. The 35-year-old is a world champion in footvolley and teqball, among others. She has also participated in one-on-one competitions against soccer greats, including Ronaldinho.
