It's Thursday and you know what that means. Once again iGaming Daily turns our attention to Latin America, specifically Peru and Brasil, as host James Ross is joined by Fernando Noodt of SBC Noticias, and Isadora Marcante of SBC Notícias Brasil. First stop, Peru, as the country's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur), finally approved the bill laying out the technical and regulatory requirements for gambling operators wishing to offer their services in Peru. The modified Law will come into force on February 9, 2024 and, from then on, operators will have 30 days (until March 10) to register with Mincetur, this leaves operators with a tight schedule to comply with the new rules, and Mincetur have warned of hefty fines for non-compliance. What does this mean for operators and players alike in Peru, and how will this shape the future of the market? Check out the full story here: https://sbcnoticias.com/peru-apuestas-deportivas-juego-ley-reglamentacion/And the interview with Gonzalo Pérez, CEO of Apuesta Total mentioned by Fernando here: https://sbcnoticias.com/apuesta-total-sbc-summit-barcelona/Elsewhere, in Brazil, James and Isa discuss her feature this week on the formation of Andreus Bardun's KTO Group, including a question from SBC CEO Rasmus Sojmark triggered the idea in Bardun's mind.

Last December, the three parties forming Ireland’s tri-coalition government published ‘The Gambling Regulation Bill 2022’ - settling on definitive terms needed to overhaul the Republic’s near-century old laws governing gambling under the Betting Act of 1931. As pledged, 2023 was marked as the year in which Ireland would finally launch its new gambling regime, to be governed by a dedicated government body and protecting its consumers via a national self-exclusion scheme. Yet since July, the Bill appears stuck in the Dáil under parliamentary review, as a final text is yet to be submitted to the Seanad Éireann, Ireland’s Senate for final approval by the end of year. Though the government cites that terms are settled, concerns appear on legacy issues facing gambling in Ireland with regards to measuring problem-gambling, consumer rights and the legal remit of its new governing body.Joining stand-in host Martyn Elliott to kick start the week on iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit Latinoamerica, is Edward Menmuir and Ted Orme-Claye.
