Following the successful conclusion of the year 2023, AFFILIATED MARKETING GROUP SAC – AMG SAC, the leading organizer of the international PGS fair, reflects on the key events that shaped the landscape of the gaming industry in the region. Last year was characterized, above all, by the zeal to formalize and regulate the verticals present in the gaming sector.
In this context, sports betting and online gaming gained special prominence, especially in Peru, where, with an existing law, the executive and the congress approved additional regulations to establish a fully regulated market, following in the footsteps of Colombia, where regulations for land-based games, sports betting, and online gaming already exist. In Argentina, with regulations at the state or provincial level, progress continued, and in December 2023, in the province of Santa Fe, a bill was approved for gambling and online sports betting. In Brazil, in December 2023, a law regulating the sports betting and online gaming market was approved, and similarly, in Chile, a bill to regulate the online sector was approved. In Uruguay and Paraguay, debates are ongoing in the relevant bodies, and everything indicates a favorable outcome towards regulation. In summary, throughout Latin America, governments are committed to formalizing and regulating the gaming sector to ensure legality, transparency, and responsible gaming, topics that will be prioritized in the PGS 2024 conferences.
In this context, it is relevant to highlight the success achieved in PGS 2023, which took place on June 14 and 15. Over 70 brands participated as exhibitors with stands and sponsors, ensuring their presence at the most anticipated and important trade fair in the region. The number of visitors from around the world far exceeded previous editions, demonstrating the interest and relevance of PGS 2023, establishing itself as a benchmark of excellence with a diverse offering of cutting-edge products and services.
For the year 2024, PGS already has a scheduled date for June 12 and 13. The exhibition center will open its doors to offer, as usual, the best environment for business networking, keynote conferences, and entertainment. Additionally, Peru provides an extra allure with its rich offerings of tourism, culture, and the world’s finest gastronomy. PGS 2024 promises to exceed expectations, solidifying itself as the flagship event driving the continuous growth and development of the gaming industry in Latin America.
