As Latin American markets move towards the regulation of online gaming and sports betting, brands face the dual challenge of creating a seamless user experience while navigating the complexities of ever-changing regional laws.
The SBC Summit Latin America, which will welcome 4,000 delegates, is set to support these efforts by showcasing cutting-edge payment technologies and trends and offering specialized advice on managing compliance issues through its dedicated session, “Payments and Compliance.”
This specialized educational program will take place on Thursday, October 31, the final day of the leading online gaming and sports betting event in Latin America, held at the iconic Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Miami.
Delegates will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about the challenges of creating a seamless payment experience, the critical role of digital identity verification in combating fraud, the dynamics between operators and payment providers, the impact of innovative financial technology, and much more.
The session will kick off with the panel “The Evolution of Payments in LatAm,” which will address the latest trends in financial technology, the integration of digital currencies, and the challenges and opportunities of creating a seamless payment experience for users.
