Wagner Fernandes, CMO of the B2B platform company, states:
“It is always a pleasure to be in Brazil and closely follow the market and our clients. Although this is a period of regulatory transition, it is also an exciting time for Brazilians who are now structuring the industry to welcome players in a safer, more responsible, and well-organized way. It requires adaptation, but it also draws attention and focus, becoming an ocean of opportunities that we are ready to seize to the fullest.”
With the event taking place close to Carnival, Oddsgate will bring even more color and energy to the conference, blending innovation with the
vibrant atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro, especially during this festive season.

- Wagner Fernandes, CMO of Oddsgate, will present the results of
the study “The End of Gaming as We Know It? Research Reveals
Predictions for 2050” on February 27 at 1:40 PM in Conference Room
2. The audience will gain exclusive insights into how AI, Blockchain,
Virtual Reality, and new forms of betting could completely redefine
the market in the coming decades. - Guilherme Graziani, Head of Business Development – Latin America,
will moderate the panel “Reinventing Traditional Sectors: Horse
Racing, Lottery, and Bingo” on February 27, from 12:20 PM to 1:00 PM,
alongside Fátima Bana (CEO of Lampions.bet), Marcelo Vazão (Head

(Director of New Business at Sorte Online).
Looking ahead to the future of iGaming:
Recently, Oddsgate published a study on 2025 trends, focusing on acquisition, retention, and engagement, which is still available for
download on the company’s website. Now, it goes further, expanding its vision to 2050, exploring topics such as predictive artificial intelligence, quantum cryptocurrencies, and neurais interfaces.
“With so many changes happening, we noticed many questions and few answers. How will technology impact the player experience? How can operators and regulators prepare? These are some of the questions that guided us in this study. Now, with this in hand, we can fulfill our goal of providing information and predictive scenarios that offer strategic guidance for operators, regulators, and global stakeholders,” states Fernandes.
In this exclusive SBC presentation, Oddsgate’s CMO will reveal the study’s key findings for the first time. Attendees will also be able to access the complete material firsthand before its official release.
Even though the future remains uncertain, Oddsgate reaffirms its commitment to research, innovation, and delivering strategic insights to
the market. Despite being a young company, soon celebrating its third anniversary, it has already proven its ability to grow and empower the
operations of clients and partners worldwide.
Oddsgate focuses on aligning innovation with integrity, ensuring that technological advancements enhance the player experience while promoting security, transparency, and trust within the betting community.
