‘Legitimuz Day’ marks a new chapter for Brazilian iGaming with authorities, regulators, and operators united in dialogue
The event, which filled the BHotel auditorium with hundreds of professionals, marked a new phase for Brazilian iGaming by fostering strategic dialogue among authorities, regulators, operators’ executives, and industry specialists.
With the mission of bringing together the leaders who are effectively building Brazil’s regulated iGaming ecosystem, Legitimuz Day provided a neutral space for in-depth debate on the most pressing challenges and innovative solutions to ensure operational integrity and security.

One of the highlights was the AMIG Stage (Women in Gaming Industry Association), led by co-founder Ana Helena Pamplona, which featured key discussions on women’s participation and the evolution of Brazil’s iGaming sector.
Other panels included prominent national figures, fostering rich discussions and generating practical insights for operators.

According to Kayky Janiszewski, CEO of Legitimuz, the energy and level of discussion made one thing clear: “The future of iGaming in Brazil will be built on intelligence, strategy, and compliance.”
He added: “I leave this event even more convinced that KYC and compliance are no longer just regulatory checkboxes — they have become the main strategic tools for growth, acquisition, and LTV in Brazilian operations. Whoever understands this first will lead the market.”
