They will travel there to speak with Brazil’s key government and regulatory authorities and discuss their experiences of gaming regulation, sports integrity and lottery innovation.
Globally recognised brands such as Codere, INTRALOT, Ladbrokes, PaddyPower and La Française des Jeux will all be joining the debate as speakers, while delegates are confirmed from the Austrian Lottery Oesterreichische Lotterien GmbH, PMU France, Novomatic, Bally and Playtech.
Commenting on the importance of the debate to take place at the Congress, Magnho José says “Brazil is at a critical time as prepares for the enormous challenge of hosting a World Cup and Olympics between now and 2018. Ensuring there is a strong regulatory environment to protect the integrity of these sports is of paramount importance to their authorities, and engaging with international sports bodies, other regulators and gaming operators is a very progressive and important step to being ready for these major sporting events.”
In addition to many of the world’s largest commercial gaming brands, there are many leading regulators and industry representatives heading to Brazil from Spain, Italy, France, Denmark, Finland, the UK and the USA to name but a few. From Latin America there will be senior officials coming from Chile, Uruguay, Peru and Argentina.
“Bringing together such an impressive wealth of international regulatory experience is going to be a tremendous benefit to Brazil’s authorities, and I’m very glad to be one of those voices at the Congress helping to share my experiences of regulating the sports betting market,” says Birgitte Sand, Director, SKAT - Danish Gambling Authority.
