Latin American gaming industry invited to meet in Punta Cana

Thanks to the changes that are coming in the Caribbean Region in the next few years, especially regarding the regulation of physical casinos and online gambling in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Costa Rica and El Salvador, the GAT EXPO organization has the opportunity to contribute its know-how to accompany these regulatory processes with the development of panels and conferences, where experiences and perspectives on the regulation of new games such as eSports betting will be shared.

José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO organizer, says: "We have achieved very valuable institutional support for the realization of this meeting, unprecedented in Punta Cana. After several meetings, we expect confirmation in the next few hours of the participation of the Directorate of Casinos and Gaming of the Ministry of Finance, the governing entity of the operation of the industry in the country for the academic component of GAT Caribe. Likewise, through Mr. David Moníz, we have the support of the Dominican Casino Association. Mr. Ricardo Nadal, President of the Association of Sports Banks, has also expressed the support of the most important online gambling operating firms in the country. Likewise, we have extended invitations to all the gaming sectors, through their operators' associations, and we will surely be announcing these new supports in the next few days".
