With LiGA Summit 2026 now less than two months away, the Latin American gaming industry is preparing for a major gathering of operators, regulators, affiliates, suppliers and technology providers in Lima, Peru on 17 – 18 September 2026 at the El Pardo Lima – A DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.
Held as Peru settles into its new regulatory framework, the summit will examine how the market is adapting to a more structured gaming environment. Discussions will spotlight the operational realities of regulated growth, covering affiliate compliance, responsible marketing, AML and KYC requirements, and player protection as businesses navigate an increasingly mature regulatory landscape.
The agenda will also introduce the Prediction Markets Summit Americas 2026, a dedicated half-day stream on 18 September alongside the main conference, creating a platform for open discussion around prediction markets, forecasting infrastructure and event-based products in regulated gaming markets

What LatAm’s Gaming Leaders Will Be Bringing to the Discussion
Sergio Poves Vidal, LatAm Gaming, Regulatory Affairs & Compliance Advisor at Nexlaw LegalTech & Compliance, will share his perspective on the future of gaming regulation in Latin America and the importance of establishing common standards across the region:
“At LiGA Summit 2026, I will be sharing insights on how stronger regulatory cooperation across Latin America can help build more aligned, transparent, and sustainable gaming markets. The key challenge is not to create identical regulations across the region, but to develop shared standards around licensing, compliance, integrity, and responsible innovation. This is essential for supporting market growth while protecting consumers and strengthening trust in the regulated industry.”
Looking at the trends transforming the industry, Israel Vasquez, Brand & Content Manager at Azar Latino, highlighted the role of changing player expectations, AI and local innovation in shaping Latin America’s iGaming landscape, which will be a key focus of his keynote:
“Latin America’s iGaming sector is entering a decisive phase, where expanding into new markets and understanding the evolving behaviours of players from both regulated and unregulated environments will be key to anticipating the future of entertainment.
While operators and suppliers in regulated jurisdictions continue to face complex challenges, this moment demands a stronger alliance between creativity and legal frameworks to elevate and professionalise the industry.
With AI-driven solutions, deeper collaboration with game providers, and the rise of local talent across the region, the market is already shaping a new era of transformation for iGaming in 2026 and beyond.”
From a legal perspective, Nicolás Samohod, Founder & Managing Partner of Samohod Law Firm, gave a preview of one of the main talking points he will cover – why balanced regulation remains the foundation of a healthy and sustainable gaming market:
“Intelligent regulation, with a legal framework that provides legal certainty to operators, under a technical and non-confiscatory tax regime, is the best guarantee for an orderly, formal, safe and successful gaming market.”
