FOR YOUR PAYMENTS TEAM
Payment Landscape: Key Provisions and Opportunities
In Brazil, traditional payment methods like credit cards, cash, crypto, payment slips, and checks aren’t allowed in gaming. Pix, launched in 2020, has quickly become a global payments success story and the go-to option in the country when it comes to gambling.
This panel will focus on how new companies can adapt to Pix while staying compliant with regulations. If you’re entering the market, it’s a must-attend for your payments team—understanding Pix could be the key to your success in Brazil!
We have secured a very strong lineup of speakers for this one: experts from key sectors, including payment providers (Pay4Fun, OKTO, Gamersbank), operators licensed in Brazil (Blaze and SevenX Gaming), and the ANJL association—ensuring a well-rounded discussion.
