SiGMA Group Meets with Brazilian Gaming Leaders to Discuss Future of iGaming Regulation in Latin America
The SiGMA Americas Conference, hosted in São Paulo, Brazil, became the setting for a pivotal gathering of prominent figures in the Brazilian gaming sector and the heads of the SiGMA Group. Eman Pulis, who established SiGMA, convened with Plinio Lemos Jorge, the leader of the National Association of Gaming Operators (ANJL), along with delegates from the Brazilian Union party, a powerful political entity within the nation.
This assembly provided SiGMA, a globally acclaimed iGaming event organizer, with an opportunity to convey its perspective on the flourishing Latin American market. Pulis stressed SiGMA’s dedication to not only organizing events but also nurturing conversation and comprehension regarding regulated online gaming. This holds particular importance in Brazil, where the regulatory framework for sports wagering and online gaming is presently under development.
Jorge conveyed appreciation for SiGMA’s contribution in facilitating this vital dialogue at such a crucial moment for the Brazilian gaming industry. The attendance of both industry leaders and political stakeholders highlights the significance of this event as Brazil progresses towards establishing a regulated structure for this rapidly expanding sector.
Our group was deeply amazed by the magnitude of the gathering. It reinforced our conviction that your nation is a market overflowing with possibilities.”
“We received an invitation from Mr. Pulis to partake in upcoming SiGMA gatherings in other nations. We view this as a remarkable chance to further exhibit Brazil’s aspirations to influential figures on an international platform.”
“A short while ago, Lemos Jorge assumed the position of President of ANJL, succeeding Wesley Cardia. Mr. Jorge, a respected attorney and former jurist, brings extensive expertise to his new post. He has stressed his dedication to attentive engagement, cooperation, and openness, reflecting his commitment to effectively advocating for and protecting the interests of ANJL constituents.”
“Mr. Jorge practices law as a partner at Lemos Jorge Advogados Associados. He earned a Master’s degree in Taxation Law from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, is pursuing a doctorate in Business Law, and previously served as a Judge at the Tax and Fees Court of the State of São Paulo.”
“For those not acquainted, the Brazil Union party is a center-right political organization in Brazil. Its formation was relatively recent, occurring in October 2021, through the amalgamation of the Democrats (DEM) and the Social Liberal Party (PSL). This merger resulted in the creation of the largest party in Brazil, formally acknowledged by the Superior Electoral Court in February 2022.”
