Delasport Now GLI-Certified for Sports Betting in Brazil
Delasport has just become one of the first suppliers to obtain a GLI certification for its sportsbook in Brazil, two weeks before the historical regulation comes into effect.
Continuing its global growth, Delasport is bringing several operators on board in Brazil. In order to complete the process, operators that are applying for a new Brazilian license have 30 days to provide all relevant platform certificates from the moment that they are notified by the regulator that their initial submission has been accepted. This is also the moment that they can pay the license fee. Still, failure to provide platform certificates will result in the application being placed on hold.
Delasport turned to Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) for the certification of its sportsbook against Brazilian technical standards. The historical partnership with GLI was further strengthened by the news, a few months back, that GLI had become the first laboratory to achieve the local accreditation to certify for betting systems, live game studios, and online games by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) in Brazil.
Delasport has successfully met all technical requirements for providing its sports betting solution to the largest country in South America. The certificate is evidence of the team’s experience, expertise, and determination to lead the way in key jurisdictions.
Obtaining a GLI certification for Brazil is a step towards cementing the trust players and operators have for Delasport’s products. This serves to show that the award-winning supplier is capable of meeting even the strictest industry standards for integrity and fairness.
“When we learnt that providing platform certificates to the regulator was on our partner operators’ critical path for obtaining the license, we immediately prioritized submitting the system to GLI for testing”, Delasport’s Chief Compliance Officer Filippo Ferri said. “Needless to say, GLI did a tremendous job of working with us to conduct the tests in record time, to match the submission deadline of some of our clients. I am also very proud of how our internal departments worked together to obtain this certificate, and of how they continue to push forward with the delivery of a datavault system that complies with SIGAP requirements.”
Operators that plan on entering the newly regulated Brazilian market will now have numerous advantages if they partner with Delasport. They will be able to provide their players with personalization features like My Sportsbook, My Event Builder, and My Combo that skyrocket revenues and retention.
Furthermore, Delasport’s KYC and AML provider is a market leader that guarantees the highest level of compliance for all operators that choose to go on this route.
Also, Delasport has already partnered with numerous local payment system providers and offers a real-time AI-powered Responsible Gambling system which can easily adapt to local regulations.
Last, but not least, operators will feel Delasport’s support from the get-go all the way to establishing themselves as a market leader. Delasport is knowledgeable of cultural and regional differences and can address all localization needs from the early stages of engagement.
Argentina
Blask data shows LATAM casino lobbies diverge beyond Pragmatic Play’s baseline
Brazil stands out for crash-game visibility, while Argentina fragments across 15 providers, according to Blask’s review of five markets.
Blask has published new data on casino lobby distribution across five Latin American markets—Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru—finding a shared baseline of Pragmatic Play dominance but sharply different secondary content patterns by country.
Across all five markets, Pragmatic Play “consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles,” accounting for up to 16 positions in each country, Blask said. Beyond that layer, Blask argues there is “no single playbook” for how operators and aggregators build lobbies.
Brazil is the clearest outlier for mechanics, with crash-style titles such as Aviator and JetX appearing in the top 30, while similar formats are “largely absent” in the other markets analyzed. Blask also points to Brazil as the only country where Pocket Games Soft holds a meaningful distribution share, driven by its Fortune series.
Mexico shows the opposite pattern: the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and a thinner secondary layer. Blask flagged Endorphina as an example of a provider appearing in Mexico’s top 30 but not elsewhere in its dataset.
Argentina is described as the most fragmented market, with 15 different providers represented in the top 30—more than any other country in the analysis—and broader visibility for live and table content. Chile “closely mirrors Mexico” structurally, Blask said, but includes a single non-Pragmatic title with near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies. Peru, meanwhile, spreads remaining top-30 positions across 12 providers, including studios not seen in the other markets and “legacy European brands such as Novomatic.”
Blask’s conclusion is that operators should not assume a winning lobby mix in one country will translate regionally. “Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals,” the company said.

Argentina
Same providers, different games: Blask uncovers hidden patterns in LATAM casino lobbies
Casino lobbies across Latin America may look similar at first glance — but a deeper look reveals they operate on entirely different logic. According to new data from Blask, all five major region players (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru) share one common layer: Pragmatic Play consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles, accounting for up to 16 positions in each market. But everything beyond that baseline tells a different story.
Crash games cluster in Brazil but not elsewhere
Brazil is the only market where crash-style mechanics achieve consistent visibility at the lobby level. Titles like Aviator and JetX both rank among the top 30, while similar formats are largely absent in the other four markets. At the same time, Brazil is the only country where a second provider, Pocket Games Soft, secures a meaningful share of distribution, driven entirely by its Fortune series. This dual pattern suggests a highly specific local demand profile rather than a regional trend.
Mexico runs on a tighter playbook
While Brazil expands, Mexico narrows. The market shows the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and one of the most limited secondary layers. At the same time, it introduces isolated signals that don’t scale regionally such as the presence of Endorphina, which appears in the Mexican top 30 but nowhere else in the dataset.
Argentina breaks the pattern entirely
Argentina stands apart as the most fragmented market in the region. Its top 30 includes 15 different providers which is more than any other country analyzed. Unlike neighboring markets, where a handful of suppliers dominate, Argentina distributes visibility across a wide range of studios, particularly in live and table segments. The result is a lobby structure that resists standardization.
Chile shows how a single game can outperform the system
Chile closely mirrors Mexico in overall structure but with one key exception. A single non-Pragmatic title achieves near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies, becoming one of the strongest outliers in the entire dataset.This suggests that even in highly concentrated markets, individual titles can break through if they match local demand precisely.
Peru stretches the long tail further than anyone else
Peru takes the opposite approach to Mexico. While maintaining the same Pragmatic baseline, it distributes the remaining positions across 12 different providers, many of which do not appear in any other LATAM market analyzed. This includes both niche studios and legacy European brands such as Novomatic, pointing to a mix of underserved demand segments and alternative content sourcing strategies.
One region, no single playbook
The key takeaway from the analysis is simple: LATAM is not a unified market when it comes to content distribution. The same providers appear everywhere but the way their games are positioned, combined, and supplemented varies dramatically from country to country. For operators, this means that copying a successful lobby structure from one market to another is unlikely to work. Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals.

Matices culturales: localización del servicio al cliente para América Latina
Por Giuseppe Barbanera, Head of Commercial LATAM en Games Global
En una industria que se enorgullece de su alcance global, es fácil asumir que la escala por sí sola garantiza el éxito.
Pero en iGaming, “global” nunca debería significar uniforme. Los mercados a los que servimos no son intercambiables y en ningún lugar esto es más evidente que en América Latina.
Con demasiada frecuencia, las empresas intentan replicar modelos de atención al cliente europeos o estadounidenses en todas las regiones, asumiendo que la eficiencia y la estandarización se traducirán de forma universal.
En realidad, operar en múltiples regiones no significa necesariamente que el mismo modelo funcione en todas partes.
En la práctica, el éxito depende de qué tan bien se adapten las estrategias a cada mercado.
Una estrategia que funciona eficazmente en Europa o en Estados Unidos puede fracasar en América Latina si no tiene en cuenta los matices culturales y la forma en que las personas prefieren comunicarse y generar confianza.
La verdadera pregunta para nuestra industria no es si podemos operar globalmente, sino si estamos dispuestos a adaptarnos localmente. ¿Estamos preparados para abordar los mercados en sus propios términos?
Si bien el iGaming tiene un alcance internacional, cuando se trata de atención al cliente y gestión de cuentas, no existe una regla universal.
Cada región aporta su propia cultura empresarial y tiene sus propias expectativas.
Comprender esas diferencias es esencial para construir alianzas duraderas. Ignorar esto implica el riesgo de no aprovechar todo el potencial de los mercados de alto crecimiento.
América Latina lo ejemplifica con especial claridad.
La región está creciendo rápidamente y ofrece oportunidades significativas con dinámicas propias y un ritmo de desarrollo particular.
Diferentes regiones requieren diferentes enfoques, y el éxito depende de adoptar una estrategia mucho más práctica y adaptable que refleje las condiciones del mercado local.
Las relaciones y la confianza constituyen la base de los negocios, y los socios valoran el tiempo, la presencia y la consistencia.
La gestión de cuentas no se trata solo de apoyar las operaciones diarias; también implica guiar a los socios a través de cambios regulatorios mientras se adaptan soluciones que reflejen tanto las preferencias culturales como el comportamiento de los jugadores.
Los matices culturales, por lo tanto, desempeñan un papel clave en la construcción de alianzas sólidas. Hablar el mismo idioma y reconocer las costumbres locales ayuda a crear conexiones genuinas.
Estos pequeños pero importantes puntos de contacto transforman las conversaciones comerciales en relaciones personales, lo que a su vez genera confianza y facilita la colaboración, asegurando que las estrategias sean más relevantes y efectivas.
Después de todo, los negocios están hechos por personas, y si tuvieras que elegir un socio, ¿no preferirías a alguien que haya dedicado tiempo a comprender tu cultura y tus valores?
La flexibilidad y la empatía son igualmente importantes.
Aunque las prioridades pueden variar según el mercado, equilibrar la eficiencia con una comunicación y colaboración sólidas es clave en todas partes.
En América Latina, el diálogo y la construcción de relaciones desempeñan un papel especialmente relevante.
Los operadores y socios quieren saber que sus desafíos son comprendidos y que las soluciones ofrecidas reflejan sus necesidades comerciales y están adaptadas al mercado local.
Esto significa que la experiencia técnica no es suficiente.
El verdadero éxito proviene de la conciencia cultural y de la voluntad de adaptar modelos globales a las necesidades locales, en lugar de obligar a los mercados locales a adaptarse a modelos globales.
Tener presencia en el terreno también marca una diferencia tangible.
Los equipos y estudios locales ofrecen una visión directa de las tendencias cambiantes, las regulaciones y las preferencias de los jugadores.
Esta proximidad permite a las empresas responder rápidamente, ya sea lanzando contenido que conecte con audiencias globales, adaptando campañas a celebraciones locales o ayudando a los socios a navegar por requisitos de cumplimiento en evolución.
Combinar escala global con presencia local permite ofrecer un soporte que se percibe como relevante y confiable.
Lo que vemos en América Latina es que la atención al cliente nunca es un modelo único para todos.
Está moldeada por las personas tanto como por los productos.
Al escuchar las perspectivas locales, invertir en relaciones y adoptar los matices culturales, la atención al cliente se convierte en algo más que la resolución de problemas y pasa a ser un motor de crecimiento a largo plazo.
Esa es la diferencia entre ser simplemente otro proveedor y convertirse en un verdadero socio.
La región recompensa a quienes se toman el tiempo de escuchar, adaptarse y conectar, y a medida que América Latina continúa creciendo y madurando, la comprensión cultural seguirá siendo un factor determinante en las colaboraciones más exitosas.
