Argentina: the allure of gambling and the sporting tradition
Argentina is a sports powerhouse, with a culture strongly tied to football, which directly reflects in the sports betting and iGaming market. According to recent data, about 41% of Argentine adults participate in sports betting, especially football, with an average monthly bet of around 10,000 Argentine pesos (about 100 USD).
The growing popularity of eSports has also opened doors in the Argentine market, attracting new audiences. Additionally, the country has made strides in regulating the sector, with several provinces, including Buenos Aires, already implementing laws to regulate online gaming.
1win Partners has observed significant growth in Argentina, with affiliates reporting substantial earnings thanks to strong local engagement. In a setting where sports are part of the cultural identity, the potential for expansion is still vast.
Brazil: the sleeping giant awakening in iGaming
Brazil, the largest country in Latin America in terms of population and economy, represents a true giant in the iGaming sector. With over 214 million inhabitants, of which 60% have internet access, it is one of the most promising markets in the region.
Studies indicate that around 20% of the adult population has participated in some form of online betting, with football, unsurprisingly, being the main sport chosen for wagers. The average amount bet by Brazilians is around 150 reais (about 30 USD) per month, which, combined with the large number of players, makes the country a high-volume market.
Brazil has made progress in regulating sports betting since Congress approved the legalization of the sector in 2018. However, full implementation of the regulation is still underway, with completion expected by January 1st.
Partnerships with sports influencers and digital marketing aimed at popular platforms such as Instagram and YouTube have been key to success in this market. 1win Partners has heavily invested in Brazil, capitalizing on the growing public interest and the search for new forms of digital entertainment.
Chile: solid growth with eyes on the future
With over 80% of the population connected to the internet, Chile may not have the massive population of its neighbors, but the country stands out for the rapid growth of the iGaming industry, with betting gaining ground, especially among younger people.
Around 15% of the adult Chilean population regularly participates in online betting, with an average monthly bet of around 30,000 Chilean pesos (about 40 USD). The country is currently undergoing regulatory debates about the legalization and regulation of iGaming.
Chile is a market that is being carefully observed, with expectations that regulation will bring even more security and growth. We have seen an increase in conversions in sports betting and online casinos.
Colombia: a regulated market on the rise in iGaming
Colombia stands out as one of the most regulated and promising iGaming markets in Latin America. Around 17% of the adult Colombian population regularly participates in online betting, especially in sports like football and cycling. The average amount bet by Colombian players is approximately 50,000 Colombian pesos (about 12 USD) per month.
Since Colombia officially regulated the online gaming market in 2016, the sector has grown rapidly. Additionally, the Colombian government collects millions of dollars annually in taxes from iGaming, reinforcing the sector’s importance to the local economy.
Ecuador: an emerging niche in iGaming
Ecuador, though a smaller market compared to Argentina and Brazil, has shown signs of growth in the iGaming sector. Around 12% of the adult population participates in online betting, with an average of 50 USD bet per month.
The popularity of online betting is steadily increasing, especially in sports like football and tennis, although local regulation remains a challenge.
Ecuador has great potential to expand its player base, and 1win Partners is starting to focus its marketing campaigns to attract this audience. As more Ecuadorians become familiar with iGaming, the expectation is that the market will continue to grow significantly.
Factors driving the growth of iGaming in Latin America
In addition to cultural factors and a passion for sports, there are other aspects that are driving the growth of iGaming in Latin America:
1. Growth of internet and smartphones: The expansion of digital connectivity is one of the main drivers of iGaming. Many Latin American countries have experienced substantial growth in the number of internet users and smartphone usage, making online gaming more accessible than ever.
2. Regulatory changes: Several Latin American countries are reviewing their gambling legislation, paving the way for regulations that could formalize the iGaming market, as seen in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile.
3. Partnerships with influencers and sports: The region has strong social media engagement, and we are exploring partnerships with influencers and sports clubs to attract more players. This creates greater identification and trust among users.
4. Gamification and Incentives: 1win Partners has invested in gamification mechanisms, such as daily missions and rewards, which help increase player engagement time and encourage more betting.

With its passion for sports, the growth of the internet, expanding regulations, and increasing interest in new forms of digital entertainment, LatAm stands out in the iGaming landscape.
