Gaming and Lottery regulators as well as state lotteries from 16 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean gathered earlier this month for Gaming Laboratories International’s Latin American Regulators Roundtable. The educational event was held in Lima, Peru and was the most successful Roundtable GLI has yet produced in the region.
“We were very pleased to welcome so many regulators and state lotteries from so many countries, representing the diverse and exciting landscape that is the gaming and lottery industry in Latin America and the Caribbean,” said GLI Director of Latin American Development Karen Sierra-Hughes.
In total, 53 representatives from across Latin America and the Caribbean were in attendance. Countries represented included Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Regulators were enriched by a program covering today’s most relevant and pressing issues, presented by thought leaders and experts from across the region and around the world. Topics included gaming and lottery license processes for land-based and iGaming operations; fraud, money-laundering and player protection; sports betting operations and their procurement processes; lottery profitability, risk management and growth challenges; interactive delivery systems; monitoring and control systems; and responsible gaming.
Attendees also enjoyed an onsite demonstration of the DGJCMT Peru’s Regulators’ Data Center, as well as an onsite demonstration of client server systems, as well as monitoring and control systems in a gaming hall in Lima.
“We are extremely grateful to our talented and knowledgeable speakers who came from around the world to participate in the roundtable, and to share their valuable insights with the regulators who oversee the jurisdictions in this exciting and dynamic part of the global gaming industry, and with the state lotteries that are thriving and looking to implement new technology in the region,” said Sierra-Hughes. “We are also very grateful to the DGJCMT of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism in Peru for so kindly opening their doors to us. We are also thankful to CIBELAE and all the countries in attendance for joining us this year. We are looking forward to our next roundtable.”
The two-day event was presented through GLI’s world-renowned GLI University, and was presented free of charge to regulators.
