The move further strengthens Continent 8’s team in the region which includes General Manager Gabriel Szlaifsztein, and Americas Managing Director Nick Nally.
Nick Nally said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jorge because he has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the LatAm iGaming sector. As a highly skilled sales professional with an excellent record in the gambling and casinos industry, he is a very valuable addition to our team.

I was impressed by the company’s commitment to make a significant investment in Latin America – it’s a business with a big future across the Americas and globally, and I’m looking forward to playing a part in that exciting journey.”
The Colombia launch sees Continent 8 offering a multi-tenanted, scalable and resilient IaaS platform to host customer infrastructure as virtual machines. The platform is connected to the MSP’s Backbone Global Network which is based in Bogotá’s free trade zone just minutes away from the capital’s international airport. Offering a fully regionalised product, the company’s Colombian entity can conduct business with local customers in Colombian Pesos.
Further expansion in LatAm will follow in Argentina and Uruguay as part of Continent 8’s global strategy to expand its network which already spans over 60 locations in the Americas (including 13 US states), Europe and Asia.

Peru Reports 40% Drop in Illegal Online Gambling

Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) reported that, a little more than a year after having implemented the law that regulates the online sector, it has been able to reduce by 40% the offer of illegal games in digital platforms and applications.
In a public statement, the Executive portfolio in charge of regulating gambling also highlighted that, thanks to the inspection work, 15% of the illegal websites “have left the Peruvian market” and that “payment methods providers and financial entities have been contacted to block services to unauthorized operators”.
Based on this, Mincetur highlighted that “Peru has managed to position itself as a regional referent in the integral regulation of gambling” and that, through the normative framework, it was possible to “protect the consumer, guarantee transparency in the operations and promote the formal and sustainable economic development”.
The Ministry highlighted that with the implementation of Law No 31557, which regulates sports betting and online games, “the country became the third country in Latin America to establish clear regulations for this activity”.
“Since its entry into force in February 2024, 60 technological platforms have been authorized and 280 linked service providers have been registered, as well as the accreditation of nine international certification laboratories,” Mincetur said.
In this regard, the Ministry stated that “this regulation has made it possible to formalize the digital sector, promoting an environment of trust for both operators and users.” At the same time, it has allowed “new investment opportunities, boosting the digitalization of entertainment and strengthening the country’s tax collection”.
