n estudio en Brasil publicado en febrero de 2026 estima que el mercado ilegal de apuestas online genera entre R$26.000 millones y R$40.000 millones al año es decir, hasta US$7.700 millones -situando al circuito no regulado entre 41% y 51% del total.
Y aunque parezca increíble, los políticos amenazan con imponer mas impuestos al sector, y alterar el fino balance entre el progreso y la ilegalidad con prohibiciones de la publicidad entre otras perlas – por no decir necedades.
Ante estas propuestas, el Instituto Brasileño de Juego Responsable ha rechazado de forma contundente la alteración del progreso del sector de Bets, advirtiendo que dichas medidas fortalecerían significativamente al crimen organizado dentro del mercado de apuestas loca, y que la preocupación debe encontrarse en combatir el juego ilegal para beneficio de la sociedad. En Argentina, sigue la telenovela del Casino de Necochea, donde el Municipio de Necochea ha manifestado no compartir en absoluto el criterio del Juez que emitió la
medida cautelar suspendiendo la subasta Casino, y procederá a interponer los recursos legales correspondientes a fin de revertir dicha medida. Ya veremos si se vende el casino para detener el deterioro de este, que sigue cayéndose en pedazos.
Uruguay, vuelve a primera plana
con la noticia de que la Intendencia de Montevideo traspasará al Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas el Casino Parque Hotel siguiendo acuerdos entre opositores como del oficialismo municipal por consistentes pérdidas durante los últimos cinco años que superarían los UR$412 millones, unos US$10,6 millones.
Asimismo, el sector de casinos en Chile también parece entrar en incertidumbre con el posible retiro de empresas lideres como Enjoy y Dreams de las licitaciones las operaciones de casinos en Coquimbo, Iquique, Viña del Mar y Pucón.
Y así, salimos para el SBC Rio Summit, ahorita nomas, los días 3-5, después a Buenos Aires para SAGSE South America, del 17 al 19, y de ahí al GAT Cartagena, los días 24-26 de marzo. ¡Uf…Allá nos vemos!
Saludos, Ricki

Ricki Chavez-Munoz reports on what’s happening in South America.
study in Brazil, published in February 2026, estimates that the illegal online betting market generates between R$26 billion and R$40 billion a year, (up to US$7.7 billion) – placing unregulated sports betting in Brazil between 41% and 51% of the total. Incredibly, in view of the above, politicians threaten to impose more taxes on the sector and upset the fine balance between progress and illegality with bans on advertising among other senseless beauties. In the face of such proposals, the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming has strongly rejected changes in the progress of the Bets sector, warning that such measures would significantly strengthen organized crime within the local betting market, and that the concern should be on combating illegal gambling for the benefit of society. Meanwhile in Argentina, the Casino de Necochea soap opera takes another turn, and as the Necochea Municipality has stated, does agree at all with the criteria of the Judge who issued precautionary measures suspending the Casino auction, and it will proceed to file the corresponding legal suit to reverse the judge’s measure to auction the casino. Hopefully the casino will be sold soon to stop its deterioration, as it continues to fall apart bit by bit.
A Uruguay returns to the front
page with the news that the Municipality of Montevideo will transfer Casino Parque Hotel to the Ministry of Economy and Finance following agreements between opponents and the municipal government on this, owing to consistent operational losses during the last five years exceeding about US$10.6 million.
Likewise, the casino sector in Chile also seems to be entering into uncertainty with the possible withdrawal of leading companies such as Enjoy and Dreams from the tenders for casino operations in Coquimbo, Iquique, Viña del Mar and Pucón cities.
And so, we leave just now for the SBC Rio Summit on the 3rd-5th, then on to Buenos Aires for SAGSE South America on 17th-19th, and from there to the GAT Cartagena, on 24th-26th of March. Phew... See you there!
Cheers, Ricki
