The panel on ‘Operational Intelligence in Brazil’ aims to help companies arriving in the country

The Brazilian iGaming Summit starts on the 28th of June and will be full of interesting people and topics that will be debated during the two days of the event..
The largest meeting of the gaming sector in Latin America has prepared an interesting and rich program to satisfy the needs of the market.
“Operational Intelligence in Brazil” is the theme of the panel that will be held on June 28, at 4:20 pm, at Espaço Boulevard JK, in São Paulo, as part of the official program of the Brazilian iGaming Summit, BiS.
It will try to deepen relevant discussions on how to structure game operations in a professional and scalable way, thinking about structure, technology, marketing, service, and will be presented by Natália Nogues, André Vinícius de Alencar, both partners at Control + F5, and by Vivian Lima, from Zest Eventos.
For André Vinicius de Alencar, participation in the event is extremely important, as he considers it the largest in the gaming market today in Brazil: “In addition to being connected to the market, we are in our locality, discussing the most relevant topics and exposing our knowledge for our customers, partners in our ‘home’,” he says.
“I believe that talking about ‘Operational intelligence in the Brazilian gaming market’ is to awaken the market to what really matters in a gaming operation. We look forward to sharing some of the knowledge we have and helping the market to understand that this is the time to professionalize its platforms and offer the best to the market”, he comments, because “today the market has understood that it is not about uploading a website , in Portuguese from Portugal or Spanish for the Brazilian market, but to think about the details of the market, get to know the public and mainly worry about the user experience within the platform.”
For Natália Nogues, investor partner of Control F5: “The closer we are to professionals and companies focused on igaming, the more we will have opportunities for all together to grow this market and attract more B2C audiences to our surroundings. Bets increasingly need to gain space, show their serious work and dissemination, be increasingly accepted by society.”
Vivian Lima, from Zest Eventos, says that BiS is the biggest event in the gaming sector in Brazil. And he says that with the experience of those who have been in all the previous ones already filmed in the country since 2016. “With the approximation of regulation, I see companies increasingly present in the national territory, not only with their brands exposed in large sponsorships, but also by hiring professionals who are attentive to the local market”, she says.
And about his panel, he adds: “For over 11 years, I have helped international companies do business in Brazil, through business fairs in various sectors of the economy. This will be a great opportunity to share this experience, success stories and tips.”
For Vivian, the Brazilian gaming market is growing and there is room for those who respect and adapt to Brazilian culture. In his words: “Many people think that knowledge of the language or the sector is enough, but it takes much more than that: knowing the consumer, how they behave in each of our regions and adapting strategies to differentiate themselves. After all, there can be several competitors, if your company really arouses the interest of your customer and delivers what they need, he will be your brand promoter.”
The Brazilian iGaming Summit, The Brazilian iGaming Inteligence has a varied and interesting program during the first two days, adding up this year a third day, where the Latam Affiliates event will take place.

QTech Games sharpens its LatAm focus with MINCETUR licence in Peru

New certification for emerging-markets leader arrives ahead of key industry summit in Sao Paulo and awards recognition
QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has had its platform and games successfully approved for the Peruvian market, demonstrating that its premier B2B platform and all-encompassing content conforms to the latest legislative updates to enhance and regulate Peru’s local gaming environment.
Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism (MINCETUR) has now issued an online gaming licence to QTech Games, whereby all its platform products and games are now deemed legally permitted. This includes its new software service for retail, QTech Hybrid, which allows land-based partners to scale their operations online. QTech Hybrid simplifies transactions by enabling deposits, withdrawals and gameplay while allowing access to players both in-shop and on personal devices.
This breakthrough hybrid solution has quickly won clients and awards in the comparably fragmented African market (most recently in March for Best Innovation at AGE Lagos), and now promises to do likewise across LatAm, where QTech Games has already signed several major clients for both its aggregation platform and its QTech Hybrid solution. This activity has seen it again nominated for Best Aggregator at the SiGMA Americas Awards, which kickstart the SiGMA Americas summit (7-10 April) next week, as the igaming world converges on Sao Paulo for a must-attend conference in another of QTech Games’ “focus markets” for 2025.
Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “It’s fantastic to have certified our aggregation platform in Peru via MINCETUR – and I’m pleased to say we have more such approvals pending across the continent. We attended fantastic events in Rio and, more recently, SAGSE 2025 in Buenos Aires – and anticipate more of the same at SiGMA Americas in Sao Paulo next week, where we’re also thrilled to have been shortlisted for Best Aggregator at their LatAm Awards. Given the venue, Brazil will be dominating the discussion for many at SiGMA Sao Paulo. However, we’ll also be looking beyond Brazilian borders this year, and are already active in Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Paraguay. We know our QTech Hybrid solution will work very well wherever we put a pin on the LatAm map.”
QTech Games delegates will be present at five more LatAm summits in 2025, with SiGMA Americas (7 April) the next port of call – followed by GAT Expo Cartagena (28 April), SBC Americas (13 May), Peru Gaming Show (18 June) and GAT Expo Mexico (28 Aug).
