Ep 584: Raising the Stakes: iGaming’s Future Across Brazil, Peru & Chile

In today's episode of iGaming Daily, SBC Media Manager Charlie Horner is joined by SBC Noticias Business Journalist Damián Martínez and SBC Noticias Brazil Business Journalist Ana Maria Menezes. They discuss Brazil's proposed tax rises on the betting and gaming industry. But it's not all bad news, as Peru goes against the global grain with proposed tax cuts, while legislative efforts are also underway in Ecuador and Chile.

Tune in to today's episode to find out:

• Why Brazils finance minister is seeking to raise taxes, and the industry's reaction
• Whether higher taxes could spook operators and slow down investment in Brazil.
• How Peru’s decision to roll back controversial tax hikes stacks up against Brazil’s approach.
• What Chile’s Senate approval for online casino gaming could mean for the size of its future market.
• And the big picture: is Latin America still iGaming’s fastest-growing playground, or are the rules starting to change?
