EGT’s new series of online betting terminals Estrela will also make its debut to the Brazilian gaming community. It will present its first 2 members – Top Estrela and Bar Estrela. Top Estrela expands the company’s online gaming library into local venues, designed to immediately catch the eye with its elegant 24-inch portrait-oriented touch monitor and numerous ergonomic features.

As the first release in the expanding Ventura universe, Panda Ventura lays the foundation for a character-driven series designed for long-term player engagement.

Betshield has announced the arrival of Amilton Noble as Advisory Partner.

The executive joins the company’s strategic core at a time of increased operational demands for licensed operators in the Brazilian betting market.

The move comes alongside a significant shift in how the sector is being evaluated.

Beyond regulatory compliance, recent court decisions have begun to consider not only the existence of formal user-protection policies, but also the platforms’ ability to demonstrate continuous monitoring and preventive action in response to risky behavior.

The evolution toward the “Trust & Protection” concept

Recognized for its pioneering role in Responsible Gaming technology, Betshield is following this evolution by expanding its presence within iGaming operations.

The company is structuring its proposition as a permanent layer of operational trust and protection, incorporating:

  • Risk management
  • Internal controls
  • Ability to demonstrate due diligence

Leadership and experience

Amilton Noble has a consolidated career in the gaming, lottery and iGaming industries.

As Advisory Partner, he will contribute to the company’s institutional positioning and to the consolidation of more structured operational practices in the regulated environment.

According to Noble, the sector is entering a new stage of maturity:

Market maturity depends on the ability to demonstrate diligence. This is no longer just a licensing discussion, but one of operational responsibility.

Operators will need to present evidence of monitoring and preventive action. Technology becomes part of the company’s own protection.

A new market positioning

Thiago Iusim, founder and CEO of Betshield, states that the moment represents an evolution in positioning:

Responsible Gaming has always been our starting point. But we quickly realized it was necessary to go beyond isolated functionality.

The market began to require the ability to demonstrate operational diligence. We structured the Trust & Protection concept: a permanent layer between operator, regulator and user.”

Betshield’s technology performs continuous behavioral monitoring, identifies risk patterns, and generates a documented history of preventive actions.

The platform has also incorporated an anti-money laundering (AML) module, expanding the scope of protection.

Recently, Betshield also announced a strategic partnership with CGS Events, placing player protection as a central theme of the 2026 events agenda.

Who is Amilton Noble

With more than 30 years of experience in gaming, betting, and lotteries, Amilton Noble has built a career closely tied to product design, operational models, and distribution strategies within the Brazilian lottery sector.

He began his career at the Brazilian Jockey Club, where he served as National Betting Manager and oversaw pari-mutuel horse-racing wagering operations.

Starting in 2001, at Hebara, he led the commercial area of Raspadinha do Rio and was responsible for developing products that became market benchmarks.

He also works as a strategic consultant for national and international gaming, iGaming, and lottery companies, focusing on regulation, payout structure, and the economic sustainability of operating models.

His work combines practical experience, critical analysis, and direct involvement in the sector’s evolution.

Brasil entre la expansión y la presión fiscal

brasil-entre-la-expansion-y-la-presion-fiscal

La semana que redefinió el rumbo del iGaming

Durante la última semana, la industria latinoamericana de apuestas entró en lo que muchos ejecutivos describen reservadamente como la primera verdadera prueba de estrés del modelo regulado brasileño.

No hubo un gran anuncio. Hubo algo más relevante: la confirmación simultánea de escala — y la aparición de múltiples vectores de riesgo.

Por un lado, los indicadores financieros ya posicionan a Brasil entre las mayores economías reguladas de apuestas del mundo.

Por otro, las discusiones fiscales y legislativas indican que el país también puede evolucionar hacia uno de los entornos regulados más costosos para operar.

Pero el factor de presión no provino solo de la política.

A nivel global, la plataforma X (antiguo Twitter) prohibió a las empresas de apuestas utilizar publicaciones de paid partnership con influencers y creadores de contenido, eliminando uno de los principales canales de adquisición utilizados por la industria en los últimos años.

La norma impide promociones remuneradas que involucren operadores, afiliados y loterías — incluso cuando estén identificadas como publicidad — y prevé eliminación de contenido o suspensión de cuentas en caso de infracción.

Solo permanecen permitidos los anuncios directos mediante medios pagos.

En la práctica, los operadores pasan a depender menos del tráfico social indirecto y más de medios institucionales, branding y canales propios — tendencia que coincide con el aumento de costos regulatorios observado en Brasil.

Así, el mercado enfrenta una doble transición simultánea:
mayores costos para operar localmente y menos atajos para adquirir usuarios globalmente.

En este contexto, el BiS SiGMA South America deja de ser un encuentro sectorial y pasa a funcionar como un checkpoint estratégico — un espacio donde la industria ya no debate oportunidad, sino viabilidad.

Escala confirmada: la regulación midió lo que ya existía

Entre reportes de operadores, presentaciones a inversores y briefings de proveedores, una cifra dominó la semana: cerca de US$7 mil millones en GGR durante el primer año del mercado regulado.

La relevancia del dato es estructural, no financiera.
Resuelve una incertidumbre de una década: Brasil nunca fue un mercado en desarrollo, solo un mercado no medido.

La regulación no creó demanda; reveló demanda.

Según el ex secretario de Premios y Apuestas, Regis Dudena, el marco permitió al Estado transformar el sector “de invisible a monitoreado y gravado”.

En la práctica, la reforma funcionó menos como creación de mercado y más como formalización económica.

Consecuencias inmediatas:

  • formación de ecosistema local de proveedores
    • realocación de capital de operadores Tier 1 al país como jurisdicción principal
    • sustitución de entrada oportunista por inversión institucional
    • compliance convirtiéndose en costo operativo permanente

Estratégicamente, Brasil cambió de categoría: de territorio de expansión a base operativa.

Ejecutivos internacionales ya comparan el país con mercados del sur de Europa, como Italia y España, y no con jurisdicciones emergentes.

Para Marlon Tseng, de Pagsmile, la regulación reposicionó al país como destino primario para operadores globales y proveedores tecnológicos.

X restringe alianzas pagas con apuestas y cambia la dinámica de adquisición en el iGaming

La plataforma X actualizó sus políticas comerciales y ahora prohíbe publicaciones de paid partnership con empresas de apuestas. La regla bloquea cualquier promoción remunerada — operadores, afiliados, loterías o servicios relacionados — independientemente de que el contenido esté etiquetado como publicidad.

Incluye compensación financiera, comisiones por enlaces afiliados, regalos o acuerdos comerciales. En caso de infracción, el contenido podrá eliminarse y la cuenta sufrir restricciones o suspensión.

La restricción no afecta la publicidad tradicional comprada vía el sistema de medios pagos de X. En la práctica, los operadores deberán migrar estrategias basadas en influencers hacia medios directos u otros canales.

El mercado interpreta la medida como otro paso hacia modelos de marketing más institucionalizados y menos dependientes del tráfico social indirecto.

La segunda fase: riesgo de sostenibilidad

Tras confirmarse la escala, surge una segunda variable: presión fiscal.

Las discusiones legislativas apuntan a mayor carga tributaria y restricciones operativas.

El riesgo deja de ser el costo de entrada y pasa a ser la compresión de márgenes a largo plazo.

La pregunta central ya no es si la regulación funciona, sino bajo qué equilibrio tributario continúa funcionando.

BiS SiGMA South America: el evento se convirtió en infraestructura de mercado

El evento dejó de ser solo una conferencia para transformarse en parte de la infraestructura operativa del mercado regulado brasileño.

Las empresas llegan con problemas concretos:
adaptar tecnología, recalibrar marketing y reconstruir márgenes.

Funciona como un “mercado operativo” donde se cierran contratos de KYC, plataformas, pagos y certificación.

Compliance se vuelve producto, no obligación

La regulación pasa de costo necesario a diferencial competitivo.

Prioridades:

  • verificación de identidad (KYC)
    • monitoreo transaccional (AML)
    • integración técnica local
    • auditorías recurrentes

El mercado deja de premiar solo adquisición y pasa a premiar eficiencia operativa.

Tributación y riesgo económico

El proyecto CIDE-Bets propone 15% sobre depósitos.

El problema no es solo el impuesto, sino la acumulación de costos:

  • tributos directos
    • costos regulatorios
    • cargos sectoriales

Impactos:

Menores márgenes
Mayor CAC
Menor competitividad
Riesgo de migración al mercado informal

Brasil podría ser el mayor mercado regulado de la región — y uno de los más difíciles de monetizar.

El dilema: recaudar o formalizar

Si la carga es moderada → el mercado formal absorbe el informal
Si es excesiva → el informal vuelve a crecer

La discusión dejó de ser jurídica y pasó a ser económica.

Regionalización obligatoria

La expansión deja de ser “LatAm” y pasa a ser país por país.

Adaptaciones:

  • pagos locales
    • marketing cultural
    • producto deportivo específico
    • presencia institucional

LatAm deja de ser un bloque y pasa a ser múltiples mercados domésticos.

Marketing: de volumen a legitimidad

Antes: exposición masiva. Ahora: aceptación social

  • storytelling cultural
    • patrocinios
    • comunicación responsable
    • reputación institucional

Inversores

Menos capital especulativo, más estratégico:

  • operadores compliance-resilientes
    • infraestructura
    • antifraude
    • pagos

Contexto regional

Brasil se vuelve laboratorio regulatorio:

Si funciona → acelera regulación regional
Si falla → frena expansión continental

Conclusión: la industria entra en la adultez

El sector ya no intenta demostrar que existe, sino que es sostenible.

El BiS SiGMA no será un evento sobre oportunidad.
Será un evento sobre equilibrio.

Entre expansión y sostenibilidad.
Entre recaudación y competitividad.
Entre política y economía.

Y el resultado definirá el ritmo de toda la industria latinoamericana de apuestas.
