June 3, 2026, at the Sortis Hotel Casino
1xBet will participate in SAGSE Central America & Caribbean 2026, taking place on June 3 at the Sortis Hotel Casino & Convention Center in Panama City. In this interview, the company shares its perspective on how global operators are preparing for one of the world’s biggest sporting events ahead of 2026, the strategic growth of the Central American and Caribbean markets, and the value of regional gatherings such as SAGSE for strengthening partnerships, understanding LATAM’s cultural particularities, and supporting the continued evolution of the gaming and sports betting industry across the region.
How are global operators preparing for the 2026 World Championship in LATAM?
Global operators are preparing by adopting a highly localized, tech-forward, and compliant approach. LATAM is a powerhouse for football, and the Biggest Football Event in 2026 represents a monumental milestone for the industry in the region. Our preparation is centered on optimizing platform scalability to handle massive user engagement, tailoring user experiences to the unique passion of Latin American fans, and ensuring absolute alignment with evolving local standards. We are focusing our efforts on strengthening our regional presence, combining reliable technology with a deep respect for local culture to contribute to the festive atmosphere and the overall enjoyment of the fans during the tournament.
Which markets do you currently consider a priority in Central America and the Caribbean?
We view Central America and the Caribbean as a highly dynamic and diverse region that requires a nuanced approach. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all strategy, our priority is to evaluate each market based on its unique landscape and readiness. Currently, we are seeing fantastic momentum in key hubs like Guatemala, while also exploring very organic growth avenues in vibrant markets such as Panama and Haiti. Additionally, we keep a close pulse on the broader Caribbean ecosystem, adapting our strategies as the region evolves. Ultimately, our focus is on fostering experiences that respect local nuances and provide a positive, balanced environment for our users.
What value do you see in participating in regional events such as SAGSE?
The primary value of events like SAGSE lies in understanding the unique nuances of the LATAM market. The region is not a single entity; neighboring countries can have vastly different cultural and commercial realities. SAGSE provides an invaluable platform to connect with local partners, industry leaders, and key stakeholders. It allows our regional leadership to align.
