Next week’s SBC Digital Latinoamérica conference and exhibition will host an International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL) Masterclass, which will see some of the industry’s leading legal experts address the challenges arising from the regulation of online gaming in federal countries such Argentina, Brazil, and the US. It will feature input from IMGL members Luiz Felipe Maia (Partner, FYMSA Advogados) and Neil Montgomery (Founding & Managing Partner, Montgomery & Associados), among others.

The ‘Regulating Online Gaming in Federal Countries: Challenges and Opportunities’ session will take place at 3pm GMT on 2 March, and will examine the main issues that may be expected to arise from regulation in federal countries and how they can be avoided. 

It will feature input from IMGL members Sean McGuinness (Partner, Butler Snow), Luiz Felipe Maia (Partner, FYMSA Advogados), Carlos Portilla (Attorney at Law, Portilla, Ruy-Diaz y Aguilar, S.C.), Neil Montgomery (Founding & Managing Partner, Montgomery & Associados), and Tomas Enrique Garcia Botta (Partner, MF Estudio). 

IMGL, a not-for-profit association comprising more than 340 members recognized as the leading experts in their jurisdictions, stages its IMGL Masterclasses at international gaming events as part of its program of continuing education for the gambling sector.

The session marks the first time IMGL has worked in partnership with SBC, but further collaborations are planned for SBC’s 2021 calendar of digital industry events.
