iGaming Brazil – Laura, tell us a little about yourself, your career, your passions, how did you get into the iGaming industry?
Laura Porto – I started in the gaming and betting industry there around the year 2010 at the current Betboo Entain, in Uruguay. At that time the betting market was very different, I see a huge evolution and incredible growth since then.
I can say that my passion for management and marketing was a process that happened little by little after this first contact with the industry and the online world. At the time it was not as common to shop online as it is today, so it was a whole challenge ahead. After that a lot of perseverance and a lot of study, trial and error for sure.
iGaming Brazil – What does your job at VBET consist of?
Laura Porto – I’m currently in the Marketing area at VBET in Latam and Brazil. An area of much investigation, analysis and planning that has many challenges year after year. Without leaving aside the creative part that is a differential these days. I really like my job because it is very dynamic and challenging every day. The Latam market has been evolving and expanding in new technologies, people with different life models, social networks and new means of communication, this makes the work routine and needs are always changing.
In this sense, I love what I do, because it is in my nature to always be on the move and VBET is an innovative, open and modern company in which I find my space.
iGaming Brazil – VBET was present at BiS 2022, held last month in São Paulo, together with Afiliados Latam. What news, new business and projections did you bring to your company? What balance do you make of the fair?
