What LatAm's Gaming Leaders Will Be Bringing to the Discussion

Sergio Poves Vidal, Regulatory Affairs & Compliance Advisor at Nexlaw LegalTech & Compliance, will share his perspective on the future of gaming regulation in Latin America:

"At LiGA Summit 2026, I will be sharing insights on how stronger regulatory cooperation across Latin America can help build more aligned, transparent, and sustainable gaming markets. The key challenge is not to create identical regulations across the region, but to develop shared standards around licensing, compliance, integrity, and responsible innovation."

Israel Vasquez, Brand & Content Manager at Azar Latino, highlighted the role of AI and local innovation:

"Latin America's iGaming sector is entering a decisive phase, where expanding into new markets and understanding the evolving behaviours of players from both regulated and unregulated environments will be key to anticipating the future of entertainment. With AI-driven solutions, deeper collaboration with game providers, and the rise of local talent across the region, the market is already shaping a new era of transformation for iGaming in 2026 and beyond."

Nicolás Samohod, Founder & Managing Partner of Samohod Law Firm, emphasised the importance of balanced regulation:

"Intelligent regulation, with a legal framework that provides legal certainty to operators, under a technical and non-confiscatory tax regime, is the best guarantee for an orderly, formal, safe and successful gaming market."
