SOFTSWISS will host a LinkedIn Live panel, “Brazil’s Wake-Up Call: How to Get LatAm Right”, on 19 November at 16:00 CET. Experts from NOVOMATIC, Propane iGaming Agency in Brazil, Focus Gaming News, SiGMA World and SOFTSWISS will discuss what Brazil’s betting ban means for the region and how Mexico fits into a more resilient LatAm strategy.
In September 2026, Brazil banned online betting and casino games, less than two years after launching its regulated market. For many operators, the ban ended the market abruptly, exposing the risk of relying on a single country. The panel starts with this lesson, then looks at the wider region before focusing on Mexico.
Questions to be answered in the panel:
- Does Brazil’s ban signal wider regulatory risk across LatAm?
- What does it take to enter Mexico, and how does it compare with Peru and Chile?
- How can operators adapt products, payments, and acquisition strategies to local player preferences?
- Where should operators invest beyond Mexico to balance growth and regulatory risk?
SOFTSWISS brings together business leaders, operators, and industry media to share practical perspectives on entering the Mexican market, competing locally, and growing across LatAm.

Brazil has shown how quickly a market can change, even after regulation. The lesson for operators is not to leave LatAm, but to build a portfolio of markets rather than a single bet. Mexico is a natural next step for many, but it rewards those who localise payments, products and acquisition from day one.
The panel is open to all iGaming professionals with free registration. Participants can submit LatAm-related questions in advance, which the panellists will address during the live discussion.
