The firm pointed out that 2023 was characterized, above all, by the eagerness to formalize and regulate the verticals that exist in the gaming industry. In this line, they pointed out, that sports betting and online games took a special interest in Peru, where there was already a law and the congress approved the regulation, following the steps of Colombia, where the regulation for land-based games, sports betting, and online games exist.
In Argentina, which is regulated by states or provinces, regulation continued to advance, they pointed out, recalling that in December 2023 in the province of Santa Fe, the bill for online gambling and sports betting was approved.
