SAGSE Celebrated International Responsible Gaming Day

February 17

As a sector and as industry leaders in LATAM, we have a non-negotiable obligation: to ensure that entertainment is safe, legal, and sustainable. Regulated gaming is the only path forward—one built on clear rules, effective oversight, and modern compliance standards.

Regulated markets provide:

Consumer and minor protection (MINORS CANNOT GAMBLE). This is achieved through identity verification, betting limits, self-exclusion programs, and continuous monitoring.

Ecosystem integrity: audited operators, certified technology, clear advertising regulations, and formal distribution channels.

Positive impact: employment, investment, innovation, tax revenue, and funding for public policies.

The regulated industry relies on robust age verification, parental controls, digital education, and genuine coordination among regulators, operators, fintech companies, and telecom providers. Let us continue working side by side—public and private sectors together—aligning strategies and implementing concrete, measurable actions.

At the same time, the global standard is clear: minors cannot gamble; prevention of underage online gambling; the fight against illegal gaming; and zero tolerance for money laundering and terrorist financing.

Responsibility is not a slogan—it is infrastructure. And infrastructure is built through smart regulation, technology, enforcement, and regional cooperation.

Today, as we have done for the past 34 years, we renew our commitment to measurable goals: greater protection for minors, stronger system integrity, and increased trust in the future of regulated gaming in the region.
