Brazil's top gambling regulator revealed intentions to register providers in the country's developing online gambling market

At a roundtable session during the ICE Conference in Barcelona, Regis Dudena, head of Brazil’s chief gambling regulator, announced plans to establish a mechanism for registering suppliers in the country’s new online gambling market.

With Brazil’s regulated market still in its early stages, Dudena faces mounting pressure from licensed operators to tackle the persistent issue of offshore platforms operating outside the regulatory framework. Addressing this challenge will be crucial for ensuring a fair and competitive market while bolstering consumer protections.

According to the news "Stringent supplier registration requirements would put Brazil one step ahead of the regulation in its online gambling market. Enhanced accountability, in conjunction with collaborative working with international regulators, ensures the safety and transparency of the player environment in countries while minimizing issues related to black-market operators. It is necessary, then, that within such a constantly changing landscape, different stakeholders continue to pay attention to ongoing updates to the regulatory framework."

How do you think Brazil should handle the offshore operator issue? Can a supplier registry help streamline the industry?

Postage from Bogotá to the UK

Hi,

I have a friend who would like to sent me a deck of custom cards, max of 120 grams. I think it would fit in a padded envelope. Does anyone know how I can advise my friend to go about this and what sort of cost I’d realistically be looking at paying?

Thank you

Montevideo and Punta in April

I'm planning to visit Uruguay in April and spend 4 days in each city, and I'd like some advice on how to make the most of my trip:

is it a safe country for a girl to travel alone?

What's the weather like at this time of year?

Which of the two cities has the best nightlife on the weekend?

What are the must-see attractions in the cities?

Why dose Paraguay have more Guarani speakers than Spanish speakers?

Now I know countries like Guatamala have more natve lsnguage speakers than Spanish speakers. But Spanish still has the most speakers of any language spoken there.

But Paraguay is the only know were a natibe language has more speakers than a european language. Its the only one were the non natives learnt the native language. Like how many non Miztecs can speak Nahutal? I'll give you that many white South Africans speak Xhousa and I think most Rhodasians speak Shona.

What made Paraguay the exception? Was Gauarni the only language in Paragauy prior to colonialism? Ive read that during their war with everyone else thryd only speak Guarani so the Brazilians couldnt understand them. Or that most of the Spanish population was killed or a much bigger % of Spanish Paraguyans were killed than Guarani Paraguyans.

Why is Paragauy the outlier?

Opinión impopular: Los países de América Latina deberían responder a las políticas antiinmigración de Trump legalizando la exportación de drogas.

La "guerra contra las drogas" en Estados Unidos es uno de los mayores motores no reconocidos de pobreza, violencia e inestabilidad en América Latina. Durante décadas, las políticas estadounidenses han alimentado el narcotráfico, pero las consecuencias las sufren desproporcionadamente los países latinoamericanos. Las pandillas que aterrorizan a nuestras comunidades y obligan a miles a huir de sus hogares son financiadas y armadas por la insaciable demanda de drogas en el mercado estadounidense.

En lugar de seguir gastando vidas y recursos para hacer cumplir una prohibición impuesta por Estados Unidos, los países de América Latina deberían cambiar las reglas del juego. Legalicen la producción y exportación de drogas hacia Estados Unidos, conviertan este comercio en una industria regulada y gravada con impuestos, y reinviertan las ganancias en sus propias economías. Esto podría generar empleos, reducir la violencia y financiar programas sociales para mejorar la educación, la salud y la infraestructura, abordando directamente las condiciones que empujan a tantas personas a emigrar.

Por supuesto, Estados Unidos se indignaría, pero hay que preguntarse: ¿por qué los países latinoamericanos deberían seguir sacrificando su estabilidad para sostener una política estadounidense fallida? Si Estados Unidos quiere mantener el status quo, tal vez sea hora de que asuman las consecuencias en lugar de trasladarlas a otros países.

Sé que es una idea polémica, pero tal vez ya sea momento de proponer soluciones audaces para una crisis que lleva demasiado tiempo. ¿Qué opinan?

ETSY is 56% used in USA, but i am curious how much is used by the Spanish speaking part of America.

IF YES, you use it say where you are from and if you know about any friends & family that use ETSY?

IF NOT: Do you use other platforms like amazon more? why ?

If you are Brazilian you can also say, it is interesting, much love.

TIL that in the official 'Alien' (xenomorph) sci-fi setting and universe, apparently guys like Donaldo Trump have abused Latin America so badly that there has been formed a union of the countries of the Americas with this as its flag ("La bandera estupendo gringa"? sorry my spanish is not very good)

Which Latin American University Should I Study Abroad At?

Hi everyone,

I’m a student from the United States planning to study abroad in Latin America next year, from January to June. I want to make the most out of my study abroad semester, focusing more on the overall experience than purely academics.

Here are some key criteria I'm looking for in a university and its surrounding city:

  1. Friendly People: As someone with darker complexion, I want to be in a welcoming environment where I don’t feel like an outcast.
  2. Safety: A safe place for foreign students and tourists is essential.
  3. Activities: I’m looking for a city with plenty of attractions, museums, amusement parks, malls, etc.
  4. Nature Access: I’d love to be close enough to beaches and hiking trails to experience nature occasionally.
  5. Food Options: A wide range of food choices is important to me.

If you have any recommendations for universities or cities in Latin America that fit these criteria, I’d really appreciate your suggestions.
