Brazil.– April 9, 2026 – www.zonadeazar.com Day 2 of BiS SiGMA South America 2026 highlighted how user experience and local culture are reshaping Brazil’s betting market in the post-regulation era.

Overview

During the second day of BiS SiGMA South America 2026 in São Paulo, discussions focused on how industry players are adapting strategies to Brazilian consumer behaviour.

Brazil is recognised as one of the most engaged markets globally in sports and digital platforms, requiring operators to evolve towards user-centric models.

Panels agreed that competition in the regulated market will increasingly be defined by user experience. Personalisation, payment speed and usability were identified as key drivers of retention and growth.

Maurício Santos, CEO of MCS Group, noted that sports consumption is shifting from traditional television to interactive experiences, where users want to actively engage through betting and fantasy leagues.

Technology also plays a central role, with data and algorithms enabling more fluid and interactive user journeys.

Key Topics

User experience is becoming as important as odds or promotions in determining competitiveness.
