The Pânico program, broadcast by Jovem Pan on several platforms, mentioned the success achieved by the 2023 edition of BiS SiGMA Americas. Held between the 14th and 18th of this month, the event reached a new level of organization, repercussion and participation this year in partnership with the SiGMA Group.
On the 19th, the conference was mentioned during the segment ‘Foca na Economia’ with Samy Dana, the ‘master of finance’. Initially, Dana stressed that the Latino singer revealed in a recent interview that he even lost millions of reais in games. ‘He bet a lot on poker and horses’, even losing ‘apartments and stores’.
However, Dana pointed out that regulation can help curb this type of situation. “We talk about betting regulation and this mechanism of identifying people who will have that as a pathology goes through regulation and it is up to the betting platform not to accept it”, adding that “the casino wants the bet to be seen as entertainment”.
At this point, presenter Emilio Surita spoke about BiS SiGMA Americas, which took place in São Paulo. “Did you see the fair that Emilinho was covering? Spectacular! The guys should legalize casinos in Brazil”, he declared.
In addition, Surita pointed out that bingo halls – also banned – in Brazil generated “250,000 direct jobs. Can you imagine the casino in a place that has no tourism? I don’t understand why they don’t release it.”
Samy Dana pointed out that the sports betting sector also represents a relevant source of revenue to promote sports. “If you take what has the most money in the sports world, it’s the sports lottery. You need to have regulations and pay taxes, that’s it and solve it”.
Mention of BiS SiGMA Americas and the gaming sector can be seen after 40 minutes:
Legal Framework for Cryptocurrencies in Brazil
Throughout the table, Samy Dana also commented on the entry into force of the Legal Framework for Cryptocurrencies in Brazil. “The brokerage needs to be headquartered in Brazil and pass on information to the Central Bank”, clarifying that these measures can contribute to reducing scams in the segment.
“It’s not a problem with cryptocurrencies, but people use cryptocurrencies as bait. This will help a lot to lessen the blows. The idea is to have control of the Central Bank and know the origin of the money to avoid money laundering”, he pointed out.
