After the success of the first edition, the Bet Summit returns in 2025 even more robust, with a program focused on innovation, regulation and sustainable development of the sector.
The second edition of the event will be held on July 8, in Brasília, at the iconic Tribuna de Honra at Arena BRB Mané Garrincha, bringing together parliamentarians, investors, associations and market players.
With a conference comprised of high-level panels and a large exhibition area, the Bet Summit has established itself as an ideal space to discuss the future of the lottery, gaming and betting sector in Brazil.
The event, promoted by AFollow – Communication and Marketing and ALAE – Aliança Advocacia Empresarial, together with Prado, Castelli, Vasconcelos • Sociedade de Advogados, responsible for the organization and scientific coordination, respectively, promises to transform the arena into a true center for strategic discussions on regulation, technology and opportunities in the sector.
Choosing Brasília as the venue for the Bet Summit was strategic
According to Aldi Almeida, CEO of AFollow, the choice of Brasília was strategic. “Choosing Brasília as the venue was intentional: we want to bring this debate closer to those who influence national policies.”
“It is an opportunity to promote a responsible discussion about these sectors and their impacts on football, tourism and the country’s economy,” he added.
Bets, for example, are a crucial investment alternative for football clubs to use to pay off debts, hire players, and help strengthen the sport. In Brazil, football is more than just a sport – it is a national passion that is part of our identity,” Aldi pointed out.
Exclusively for invited guests, the second edition of the Bet Summit will bring together authorities, legal directors, executives, renowned experts and leading companies in the sector, consolidating itself as a strategic arena for an immersive environment, where innovation and networking will go hand in hand.
For Sávio Prado, partner at the firm responsible for the scientific coordination of the event, the current situation in the Brazilian market is promising. “With the recent approval of legal frameworks and the growth of the Brazilian market, iGaming is experiencing a period of effervescence. This new legal and regulatory environment creates the foundation for solid growth in the coming years, establishing Brazil as one of the most promising markets in the world.
“This edition will be a milestone, as we will address the impacts of casino regulation in Brazil, from increased revenue and the creation of new jobs — with an expected 700,000 direct jobs and 600,000 indirect jobs — to the development of new tourist routes.”
“Brasília is the ideal place for this discussion, where we can align interests and boost the growth of the betting market, in addition to bringing up essential topics, such as responsible gaming”, concluded Prado.
