A Market Shaped by New Regulation
The summit follows Peru’s rollout of a new licensing framework and lands amid structural change across Latin America’s gaming sector. With increased regulatory clarity now in place, the main agenda spotlights the practical realities of market growth, including affiliate compliance, responsible marketing, anti money laundering and know your customer obligations, and player protection frameworks.
What the Agenda Covers
Day one, Thursday 17 September, opens with sessions on Peru’s new licensing era and its impact on market stability, Peru’s position at the centre of LatAm iGaming, and the rise of creator affiliates across the region through TikTok, YouTube, and short form performance marketing. Day two, Friday 18 September, splits into the main summit track, covering regulatory cooperation across Latin America, the new age of anti money laundering and know your customer rules in Peru’s digital betting market, and responsible marketing amid tightening compliance standards.
Prediction Markets Get Their Own Stage
Running alongside the main summit on 18 September, the new Prediction Markets Summit Americas addresses a category that has drawn intense scrutiny in the United States, where state regulators have sued platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket over how prediction markets should be classified. Sessions include building trust in event based products through fraud prevention, cybersecurity, and market integrity; Brazil’s regulatory signal and what Latin America can learn from how prediction markets are being treated there; and forecasting tools for media, business intelligence, and public decision making that extend well beyond sports betting.
The timing tracks a broader shift in how these markets are being watched globally. Recent data shows US traders account for roughly a quarter of tracked offshore prediction market volume, and jurisdictions from North Carolina to Brazil are actively working out how prediction markets fit within existing gaming and financial regulation, exactly the question LiGA’s new track is built to address for a Latin American audience.
Who Is Speaking
Confirmed speakers include Celeste Arredondo, Founder of International Gaming Women; Israel Vasquez, Brand and Content Manager at Azar Latino; Jonathan Felix, Chief Executive Officer at Global Business Company de Peru; Renzo Escalante, Chief Executive Officer at Clases Play; and Sergio Poves Vidal, LatAm Gaming Regulatory Affairs and Compliance Advisor at Betsson Group, alongside operators, affiliates, legal experts, and technology providers from across the region.

Why Lima, Why Now
Peru’s decision to formalize a national licensing framework for online gaming has made it a reference point for neighboring markets still working out their own regulatory approach, which is part of why Eventus International chose Lima for the inaugural edition rather than a more established regional hub. Organizers describe the choice as deliberate: a market mid transition offers sharper, more current conversation than one where the regulatory questions have already been settled.
The affiliate marketing track reflects a similar shift already underway in Latin America’s gaming ecosystem, where traditional media buys have given ground to creator led promotion on TikTok and YouTube. Pairing that agenda with a dedicated prediction markets stream signals how quickly the region’s operators, affiliates, and regulators expect the two categories to keep converging over the next several years.
