Ernest Lewicki, Infingame: bridging the gap between global and local in LatAm

 

Ernest Lewicki, Head of Sales at Infingame, outlines the reasons why the iGaming aggregation hub is doubling down on its commitment to LatAm growth in 2025.

In the last five years, the iGaming industry has changed considerably. From advances in technology, to the emergence of new verticals and even new regions introducing regulated gambling frameworks, the iGaming world looks very different to what it did before the global pandemic.

One region, in my view, stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to potential. LatAm has truly become a continent of explosive potential. No longer just a promising frontier—it’s a goldmine of opportunity for brands that can understand and adapt to its unique demands.

As a local expert, I can promise that entering the LatAm region isn’t as simple as pitching up and planting your flag. Far from it. You firstly need to understand local regulatory dynamics, player preferences, technological limitations.

In other words, you need a partner that can help you navigate some of these intricacies. This is where Infingame really shines – and what I’ll be taking you through in this article.

Riding the LatAm wave

The numbers speak for themselves: online gambling in LatAm is growing at an extraordinary pace. More established markets like Mexico and Colombia are leading the charge, fueled by increasing internet penetration, a young and enthusiastic player base and operator-friendly regulations that allow for brands to offer a wide array of gambling products to players.

Meanwhile, ‘newer’ markets such as Peru are forecast to open up the industry to further growth opportunities. Brazil, however, is set to be the region’s crown jewel—its population of over 200 million includes a vibrant sports culture that naturally aligns with sports betting and online gaming.

The mistake that many brands must avoid, however, is that LatAm is not a region where a ‘one-size-fits-all’ strategy will yield positive results. Each country brings its own nuances, be it language, cultural preferences, regulatory environments, or technological readiness.

Success here depends on not only recognising these differences but being able to adapt your business strategy accordingly and tailoring offerings to meet the unique preferences of local partners. This is where aggregation hubs like Infingame come in, and as one of the industry’s fastest growing aggregators, we pride ourselves in tailoring our operators’ offering to exactly what local players want.

It’s all about localisation and personalisation

With a team based on the ground in Latin America, collectively we have some of the market’s best experience in building the best possible product for operators targeting the region. We understand what types of games resonate with players, and how best to localise your gaming delivery for each specific market.

We work closely with operators and game studios to ensure their content isn’t just relevant but culturally immersive. This isn’t just about translating game interfaces into Spanish or Portuguese—it’s about weaving local narratives and themes into the fabric of the gaming experience.

For example, we know that players in Brazil have a strong preference for games that reflect local culture and sport. Football or Samba-themed slots tend to perform particularly well here, as do high-volatility products such as crash games.

Similarly, games inspired by regional folklore, beloved icons or even local festivals have shown to be hugely popular in Mexico; these types of games have the power to captivate audiences and drive engagement.

Players don’t just want to play; they want to feel understood. When brands meet this expectation, the loyalty and revenue potential are immense.

I’m incredibly proud of the dedication that goes into creating our back-end – our Product Management team goes above and beyond to hand-pick games for each of our partners to give them all of the necessary tools to drive engagement and long-term retention among bettors in Latin America.

Beyond localisation, personalisation is also key. Today’s players now expect gaming experiences that are tailored to their preferences.

We see this in the entertainment industry – brands such as Netflix or Spotify can deliver ‘personalised, for you’ suggestions based on a customer’s previous activity. This is a trend that, I have no doubt, will sweep the gambling industry in 2025.

From gameplay mechanics to promotional offers, personalisation drives engagement and retention. In Latin America, this is especially true due to the diversity of player preferences across the region. Some may favour high-volatility slots; others might lean towards traditional table games or live dealer experiences.

We’ve designed our platform with this in mind. Infingame’s technology empowers operators to deliver personalised content at scale. Our platform leverages player data to recommend the right games, features and offers for different audiences.

By combining advanced analytics with a deep understanding of local markets, we help our partners create gaming experiences that feel personal and unique to every player.

What’s next in 2025?

Looking ahead, the opportunities in LatAm are only set to grow. With more countries considering regulation and infrastructure improving across the board, the region is poised for an unprecedented surge in online gaming activity. But this isn’t a market that rewards complacency.

I couldn’t be more excited about the potential here – operators need to invest in the right partnerships—working with aggregation hubs like Infingame that combine local expertise with cutting-edge technology is what will give you the chance to truly stand out.

Our mission is not just to expand our footprint in Latin America—we’re doubling down on our commitment to help operators thrive here.

From onboarding local team members in Brazil to deepening our game portfolio with culturally relevant content, we’re doing everything we can to position our partners for success. For us, the future’s bright!

Plaza Hotel & Casino to celebrate Fourth of July with a holiday edition of its free Welcome to the Weekend Friday Fireworks

Published

on

The Plaza Hotel & Casino will celebrate the Fourth of July with a bigger and brighter version of its weekly Welcome to the Weekend Friday Firework Show. As in past years, it will be the only Fourth of July fireworks show in downtown Las Vegas, and it is free to view.

Staged from the top of the Plaza’s South Tower on Friday, July 4, at 9:15 p.m., the public can watch the fireworks for free from in front of the Plaza on Main Street, which will be closed to vehicular traffic for viewing the fireworks from Carson Avenue to Ogden Avenue. Guests can also watch the fireworks from a free viewing party on the Plaza’s rooftop pool deck. Doors open for the rooftop viewing party at 7 p.m.

Also on July 4, the Plaza will host a Buffalo wing eating contest at Carousel Bar at 6 p.m. Inspired by the popular Buffalo wing eating competitions in Philadelphia, qualifying “Wing Offs” and the championship “Wing Bowl”, the July 4 contest will be a qualifying event for the Plaza’s main Wing Bowl event on Feb. 7, 2026. The Plaza will award $1,000 to the person who eats the most Buffalo wings in 10 minutes on July 4.  The first and second place eaters will qualify for the Plaza’s Wing Bowl in February.

Carousel Bar and the rooftop pool will also feature special summertime cocktails. The rooftop fireworks viewing party will feature three specialty cocktails: a margarita with Casamigos Blanco Tequila and Cointreau Orange Liqueur, the “Cruiser & Captain” with Sun Cruiser Iced Tea, vodka, and a shot of Captain Morgan Sweet Chili Lime Rum, and the “You Call It” featuring Captain Morgan Sweet Chili Lime Rum.

The Plaza’s fireworks will be dependent on weather conditions and are subject to change or cancellation.

EDGE Boost Launches Social Accountability Program, Adding Peer-based Accountability to its Roster of Responsible Gaming Tools

EDGE Boost Launches Social Accountability Program, Adding Peer-based Accountability to its Roster of Responsible Gaming Tools

 

EDGE Markets, the company behind EDGE Boost, one of the first debit cards designed specifically for responsible gaming, announced the launch of its newest responsible gaming feature: a co-pilot system for social accountability. Through the EDGE Boost platform, users can nominate trusted friends or family to receive weekly reports of their transactions and participate in real-time limit adjustments, creating a shared commitment to more responsible play.

Social accountability leans on a core behavioral insight that accountability works best when it comes from someone you know, not a faceless platform or app. Early adoption of the co-pilot system has already exceeded expectations with 7% of EDGE Boost users enabling the feature, far surpassing the industry standard of 1-2% adoption for similar, operator-based responsible gaming tools.

“The reason why the co-pilot feature has been so successful is peer involvement. Social accountability is why having a gym buddy works. By involving a buddy in your betting lifestyle, one is set up even better for responsible play. We have always said that EDGE Boost’s mission is to provide a safer and more responsible environment for users to engage with gaming and we know social accountability is doing just that,” said Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Boost.

Co-pilots will receive weekly snapshots of a user’s EDGE Boost transactions. If a user attempts to raise their deposit or spending limits, a co-pilot must enter a verification code before the change can take effect.

The new feature aligns with the American Gambling Association’s (AGA) evolving Responsible Gaming Code of Conduct. Social accountability also helps foster responsible gaming by avoiding punitive approaches and reducing negative stigma.

The co-pilot feature is now live and available to all EDGE Boost users.
