HY HAS LATIN AMERICA BEEN SUCH A KEY FOCUS FOR WAZDAN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS? Wazdan’s journey in Latin America began in Colombia in 2020 and has been remarkable. We’ve been making significant strides, signing deals with tier 1 operators, and successfully implementing our state-of-the-art gaming solutions. The region is a hotbed of development, which is precisely why we’ve honed our focus on delivering our innovative solutions to LatAm operators and aggregators. It’s exciting to watch the rapid growth of this prominent region, and our commitment remains unwavering as we continue to pursue high-value partnerships with operators in the thriving iGaming sector. Colombia, with its solid regulatory framework, naturally became the focal point of our expansion efforts. We are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to expand our network of successful and longstanding partnerships in the region. On a celebratory note, we’re absolutely thrilled to receive nominations in two prestigious categories at the SBC
Latinoamérica Awards 2023: Rising Star in Casino and Casino & iGaming Supplier of the Year. These nominations are a testament to our continuous efforts in delivering unparalleled casino solutions and cutting-edge gaming experiences to players. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO USE YOUR SUCCESSES IN EUROPE TO DRIVE GROWTH ACROSS LATIN AMERICA? We’re keeping a close watch on regulatory developments across various markets. It’s crucial for us to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to evolving regulations. We’re particularly excited about the prospects of growing in newly regulated markets, such as Brazil, which is poised to join the ranks. Our determination to strengthen our presence in these emerging territories is unwavering. Our success in Europe has been underpinned by a commitment to innovation and quality. For more than 10 years, we have been supplying the market with world-class games. Our portfolio comprises 180+ award-winning titles that are present in more than 25 markets across more than 1,500 casino brands. We plan to continue this ethos in Latin America.
