Push Gaming has now strengthened its footprint in Latin America with its latest venture by partnering with KTO Casino in Brazil, marking another milestone in its rapid regional expansion.
This is made possible thanks to Law No. 14,790 (2023) and the Ministry of Finance’s 2026–2027 agenda through the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA/MF). They have helped define Brazil’s gaming regulation. The structure emphasises stricter licencing, advertising restrictions, responsible gaming tools, and anti-money laundering (AML) measures. These proposals strive to provide a stable, transparent environment for operators while safeguarding consumers, according to multiple reports.
In addition, transactions made by unauthorised operators will be blocked, while online marketing will face tougher transparency requirements. Bettors will also gain access to monitoring dashboards to track gambling behaviour, supported by expanded operator obligations and clearer remediation guidelines.
Growth across regulated markets
The gaming market in Latin America is no longer considered “emerging.” To date, there are over 335 million players, mobile-first adoption, and strong ecosystems spanning across Brazil, Mexico, and rising studios in Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, where the region has become a global growth driver.
Monetisation models, e-sports culture, and indie development are evolving in the industry, positioning Latin America as a calculated priority for publishers and investors alike. Moreover, localised innovation like adapting games to cultural and linguistic contexts is essential, while cross-border partnerships solidify global production pipelines. Esports and mobile gaming remain the most influential growth drivers.
Mobile gaming dominates in Brazil, with 80 per cent of gamers preferring smartphones as their primary platform and averaging daily playtime of up to 2.5 hours. Today, mobile titles account for more than half of the country’s gaming revenue, thanks to affordable devices, e-sports popularity, and cloud gaming adoption.
The Push Gaming and KTO Casino partnership was built on the latest surge across regulated markets, from Buenos Aires Province, Chile, to Brazil. Players in Brazil, for instance, now have access to popular titles like Razor Shark, Jammin’ Jars, and 3 Magic Pots on KTO Casino.
However, operators are subjected to compliance demands. They include heavy investment in AML, responsible gaming, and advertising standards, all of which are required. Additionally, while stricter rules aim to reduce gambling harm, they may limit promotional flexibility. Clearer boundaries between betting and financial instruments reduce legal uncertainty but could also discourage innovation.
Mariceli Pelizzaro, Head of LatAm at Push Gaming, emphasised the strategic importance of the deal in a statement: “This collaboration highlights the strength of our partnership and our ability to deliver reliable, compliant, and scalable solutions in highly regulated environments. It lays a strong foundation for continued growth in the region.”
KTO Casino’s commitment to Brazil
Echoing this sentiment, Myrella Allgayer, Head of Casino at KTO Casino Brazil, said: “Their Brazil-certified games are a perfect fit for our platform and for the players who count on us every day. At KTO, our commitment to the Brazilian regulated market is at the core of everything we do, and partnering with providers who share that same dedication is what drives us forward. This is a partnership we’re truly looking forward to growing together.”
Brazil’s iGaming market is forecast to generate over BRL 46 billion ($8.3 billion) in gross gaming revenue this year, making it the largest in Latin America and one of the fastest-growing globally, according to Blask. Sports betting leads in volume, but online casino and digital bingo are showing the strongest growth rates, diversifying the sector and offering higher long-term potential, as mentioned by media reports.
