These are some of the opportunities offered by CGS Recife 2024, a new milestone in the gaming and betting industry, which will be held between August 29 and 30 at the Recife Expo Center, in the heart of the capital of Pernambuco. }

The first edition of the event promises to be a turning point for professionals and companies in the iGaming and sports betting market. Registration to participate in the trade show is free and will be available until the venue reaches capacity. Registration can be done on the website: https://recife.cgsbrasil.com/.

In 2023, the industry recorded a 135% increase in sports betting compared to 2022, according to data from Datahub, and it is estimated that this market will move more than R$100 billion annually. Among the 20 teams in the Brazilian Championship series A this year, 17 already have sponsorship from a betting house. Therefore, the legislation needed to undergo some changes. Now, Law 14790/23 establishes rules, rights and duties for operators and customers of both physical and online betting, including procedures for obtaining authorization, advertising limits and tax regulations.

The meeting’s schedule will include the exclusive Gaming Insights conferences, which will feature the participation of big names in the sector, such as José Manssur, Roberto Carvalho Brasil and Hugo Bauntgarner. They will share their opinions on these changes in gaming and betting regulations, strategies and technological innovations in the iGaming and eSports industry. “The collaboration of these important players will be essential to the success of the event and the continued development of the sector,” explains the event organizers. “Participants will enrich the discussions and strengthen the collaboration network in the market.

As is our company’s tradition, CGS Recife will stand out for its focus on academic content and commitment to quality.” CGS Recife 2024 will also feature conferences and duels with speakers, dedicated spaces for participants to interact with each other, expand their networks in the sector to navigate the new Brazilian scenario, and a series of activities to maximize these opportunities. The day before the event begins, a welcome cocktail will be offered so that professionals and entrepreneurs from the industry can get to know each other in an informal setting. In the Chat & Wine, topics will be discussed in a relaxed atmosphere.

On the other hand, the trade show, XPO 360, which will take place on August 29 and 30 between 2:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., will feature a more avant-garde and dynamic format, so that companies can showcase their solutions and products in an interactive way. “Recife was chosen to host this event due to its strategic location and vibrant community of gaming and betting operators. We appreciate the reception from the Brazilian industry and are working to obtain the support of local and state authorities, who are committed to the growth of the gaming industry and tourism in the region,” concludes the organization.
