They’re passionate, they’re fanatic and they love gaming—this is Latin America in a nutshell.

Due to recent developments, the Latin American iGaming market has received a growing interest of late. With Colombia becoming the first country to approve a regulated online-gaming market in 2016, the latest trends indicate that more countries will follow. Market leading games developer NetEnt recently signed a customer agreement with Caliente, Mexico’s largest online casino in their regulated market. This is yet another huge step towards more doors opening for both operators and affiliates alike.

Experts believe that it won’t take long before more Latin American authorities will realize the benefits of the added tax income and job opportunities that a regulated online gaming market will provide.
