José Aníbal Aguirre, explains the process to make GAT Caribe a reality: "We have always been attentive to the development of tourist and entertainment centers in the region, due to the fact that they are accompanied by the growth of traditional gambling and of new segments of gamblers. During six months we socialized the vision of an annual event for the Caribbean Region with the local regulator, the associations of casinos, sports banks and lottery consortiums. In addition to the locals, operators from neighboring countries such as Jamaica, Aruba and Costa Rica will attend. We are very committed to this project, which is being launched for the first time on Thanksgiving Day. We followed the recommendation of the Dominican associations to move our definitive date on the international calendar to June 2 and 3, 2022. I also want to mention that we found great interest in the Dominican Republic on the subject of regulation of betting on eSports and video games, a topic that we will touch on the academic agenda of the second day". 

GAT Caribe has the following sponsors and exhibitors: Juancito Sport, relevant online betting and sports banking operator, Loteka, recognized lottery concessionaire, IGC, important manufacturer of roulettes and slots, and Zataca, prestigious telecommunications network. In the land-based and online exhibition will participate: DAPS Solutions arrives from Costa Rica with solutions for sports platforms; Evenbet Gaming, shares the best online poker options; Mobadoo will exhibit its eSports betting portfolio. Delegates from Sportradar and EGT in the Caribbean have also confirmed their presence, as well as BMM TestLabs. The organizers inform that there are still 49 seats available to attend the conferences and panels, out of the 100 that have been authorized by the Ministry of Health of the Dominican Republic.

Regulators and associations from Latin America have been invited to the event to share their pandemic and post-pandemic experiences in preparing the industry for the new normal.

The academic agenda is composed of the following conceptual topics: casinos, sports banking, lotteries, online platforms and eSports betting.  The actors of the gaming industry in the Dominican Republic expect to share experiences and knowledge with leaders of the industry in Colombia and other countries, represented by the presidents of the land-based gaming associations of the land based and sports betting associations.
