Must Read Book: The Secret
Profession/Job title: Web Administrator
GAV: Hi Faith, first of all, tell us and our readers as well a little bit about yourself. How did your career start in the industry? What was the key idea of developing this great online lottery comparison site?
Faith: Hi, I first started in the industry about 15 months ago. Previously I was in the retail and sales industry and seen this job advertised and thought I’d try my hand at online marketing sales. When I started at MadAbout Media they had already established online bingo and casino comparison sites, and lottery seemed the next logical gaming niche to target.
GAV: Since there are thousands and thousands of online lottery websites in this niche out there, where do you think MadAboutLottery.com stands now?
Faith: MadAboutLOTTERY.com launched about 12 months ago so it is still pretty new but we have 100% unique content, dedicated social channels and have fantastic working relationships with lottery affiliate managers. So hopefully in the next 12 months it will be a well established online lottery comparison site.
GAV: How do you see the UK online lotto market at this moment?
Faith: Lottery in the UK is huge at the moment, specially with all the different variations of lotto games and syndicates. These are just two of the reasons that we want to advertise lottery as players, like in other niches, love variety.
GAV: How about the Irish one?
Faith: Just like the UK and lotteries all over the world, the Irish market is huge and has the potential to become bigger still.
GAV: In your opinion what are the strong points of MadAboutLottery.com and what makes it stand out from the other UK niche websites/directories?
Faith: As mentioned earlier, the site has trustworthy content plus dedicated affiliate managers helping us to push their brands by offering MadAbout Lottery players unique offers and bonuses.
GAV: How did you start and most of all what bumps did you have to overcome at the beginning?
Faith: We have a slots comparison site http://www.mobileslotsites.com/ that ranks really well and a site template that helps players navigate the site easily, so we used the tried and tested template with the lottery site and that seems to be working great for us. There wasn’t really many bumps to overcome but the main obstacle was the language barrier with affiliate managers from overseas lotteries.
GAV: We have found some great quality content on the site. Are you writing it by yourself or do you have a team of people writing for you – with you? How many lotto site reviews are there on your website?
Faith: We have a dedicated writer for MadAbout Lottery who sign up to all the different brands. They play the games, they check the promotions that are advertised work whether it be a deposit bonus or free tickets. At the moment we have just under 50 reviews, these include all different national lotteries plus sites that offer syndicate options. As and when new lotteries and lotto games become available we will add them to the site to give our players more options.
GAV: How do you manage to keep the content fresh and relevant on your website, when a lot of fluffy and nonsense appear on the Internet non-stop?
Faith: We keep the content fresh by visiting the brands we advertise and being in communication with their affiliate managers almost on a daily basis. This helps us make sure bonuses, offers and the latest promotions are always up to date on our site and social channels such as Facebook and Twitter.
GAV: We are more than sure that you receive messages from Affiliate Managers on a daily basis showcasing their best products. You of course select them by the brands they work with; but what are your thoughts on how a real Affiliate Manager-Affiliate relationship should be built?
Faith: All the affiliate managers I work with are professional, friendly and approachable. Although I’ve had emails from affiliate managers who don’t introduce themselves in their email and almost demand to be added to our site and to take up the homepage in the best converting positions. I believe that a real Affiliate Manager/Affiliate relationship should be almost like a friendship as well as a professional business relationship, after all we are all working towards the same goal.
GAV: How do you see the future of the online/landbased lotto industry? For instance, will it become a truly global phenomenon? What about the UK market’s future?
Faith: I think the UK and global lottery markets will only get bigger and better. With the emergence of mobile and tablet gaming people can buy tickets any time of the day wherever they are. Plus lottery sites also offer instant games so players can play a variety of games while they wait for the lottery numbers to be drawn.
GAV: Tell us one change that you want to see in the lotto affiliate ecosystem?!
Faith: Regular payment dates and realistic thresholds would be ideal. Some thresholds are far to high and can take a few months to hit. Another would be access to more tools such as live lottery XML feeds and direct landing page links to the different lotto’s.
GAV: Do you have any advise you would like to offer to newbies who are looking to venture into this great industry!?
Faith: Being a newbie myself I’ve already seen the benefits, I’ve attended a few conferences and met some fantastic business contacts/friends. The affiliate managers even run competitions which benefit us affiliates, I myself was lucky enough to win such a competition from attending LAC. So if you are new to the industry and you feel like giving up, don’t, as the perks are fantastic.
GAV: Do you attend any iGaming/online casino conferences? If so, which one is your favourite and what is your most fun experience?
Faith: I’ve attended a few conferences but LAC was by far the best. I was looking forward to attending AAC but unfortunately can’t attend, but there is always next year or maybe I’ll be at Berlin at the end of this year.
GAV: What do you think the chances are for Eastern Europe to become a potential gaming hotspot in the future? Where do you think the region must improve upon?
Faith: The Eastern European market, like any other market world wide has the potential to become a gaming hotspot. If their market is regulated and policed correctly it should do really well.
GAV: Where would you like to travel in Eastern Europe?
Faith: I would like to travel to Poland, it looks a lovely country and a nice short getaway for a city break.
GAV: Where you wouldn’t want to travel in Eastern Europe?
Faith: I’ve never really thought about it, but there are a lot of beautiful cities in Eastern Europe, as long as it was safe I would travel to most places.
GAV: How about a favourite celebrity, do you have one one?
Faith: I’d probably say Channing Tatum, because whats no to like
GAV: What is your opinion about the Gambling Affiliate Voice?
Faith: I’m a regular visitor to the Gambling Affiliate Voice to keep up to date with upcoming events and certified websites. It is a fantastic site for an affiliate such as myself
GAV: Thanks for the interview Faith, it was a real pleasure. We wish you all the best and Happy Birthday to MadAbout Lottery!!!

The LATAM Online Casino Market: Where Innovation Meets Localization

Latin America, or LATAM, is quickly rising on the global radar as a hot new playground for online casinos. A lively mixture of tech-hungry young people, wider Internet access every month, and rules that are slowly but steadily growing friendlier to gaming makes the region a tempting patch of soil for operators eager to plant their brand. Unlike older markets that are already crowded and tightening the regulatory screws, LATAM still feels fresh and open, letting companies chase fast gains by leaning on bold ideas, local flavors, and mobile-first thinking.
Why LATAM Is a Key Growth Market for Online Gambling
A few key trends are stacking the deck in favor of LATAM casinos. First, smartphones have practically become a third arm for many residents. The GSMA Mobile Economy report for 2023 says more than 73 percent of the region now carries a smartphone, and that share keeps climbing. Such broad pocket-sized connectivity lets gaming sites reach players, even in remote towns, without the extra cost of shops or kiosks.
Second, LATAM’s population is much younger than Europe or North America. Millennials and Gen Z together make up a huge slice of the online betting crowd. Because these generations live, shop, and play through apps, they slide into digital payments and gamified screens with little friction, exactly the kind of audience casinos dream about.
Third, even though rules still differ from nation to nation, the general trend is toward looser, friendlier legislation. Brazil, for example, just passed a law covering fixed-odds sports betting and other online games, a clear sign that officials want licensed, taxable sites.
For LATAM players who prefer local touches, a one-stop hub such as Ingamble proves useful. The service directs users to casinos in their language, accepts their usual payment methods, and meets local laws, building the trust and ease that a young market needs.
How Cultural Differences Shape Casino Preferences
Grasping what people like in each country is critical to success, and LATAM shows that well. Its mix of cultures, customs, and histories means a blanket offer will disappoint in most places. In Mexico, for instance, community bingo nights and brightly themed slots still rule the floor, echoing deep traditions. Developers win by weaving folkloric images, regional music, and familiar tales into those games.
Brazilians, by contrast, look for platforms that merge casino fun with sports betting heat. Because football is almost a second religion, sites that serve live odds alongside a spinning wheel or table gain a clear and lasting advantage.
Localizing a product goes well beyond swapping English words for Spanish or Portuguese. It means building every step of the user journey around local holidays, favorite sports, and even the colors people associate with luck. When a digital service reflects the rhythm of daily life in a country, users stay longer and come back more often.
LATAM’s payments landscape is fragmented, so every casino must meet players where they are. Many customers are underbanked or lean on alternative tools, which makes integrating local methods essential rather than optional. Accepting Brazil’s PIX or the classic boleto bancario has moved from a bonus feature to a bare minimum.
Across the region, Argentina’s Mercado Pago rules wallets while Colombia’s Mercado Pago leads transfers through PSE. If these gateways are missing, carts are abandoned and trust disappears.
Currency support matters just as much. Enabling deposits and withdrawals in pesos or reales spares players conversion fees, and signals the operator treats them like a local. Casinos that add instant payouts and clear fee structures speed up service and earn a valuable edge.
Mobile Dominance: Data-Light Designs Win
Smartphones drive almost all online traffic across LATAM, so any brand that ignores them is courting failure. Yet mobile success goes beyond fitting a website on a small screen; it means building services that run smoothly on flaky networks and budget handsets.
Enter Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), a lightweight layer that gives casino players app-like speed without the hassle of Big Store downloads. Pair that with smart tricks: images that shrink on command, offline pockets so play never halts, and a no-frills layout that cuts data costs for users counting every megabyte.
Market leaders also roll out lite skins, peeling off heavy animations and endless scripts in favor of bare-bones speed and rock-solid uptime. Research shows delays of even a second can send players packing, turning lean design from a tech choice into a profit-or-loss showdown.
Localization Beyond Language: Bonuses and UI
Translation may get the words right, but it rarely captures what a player actually feels. Rewards, loyalty plans, and promos need to mirror local rhythms or they fade into the noise. A Holy Week rebate or a Festas Juninas gift card, for example, speaks straight to a Brazilian wallet and makes gaming personal.
User interfaces should always respect the tastes of the region. Across most LATAM markets, bold colors and lively animations win users more reliably than soft, stripped-back looks. Themes that borrow from local myths, beloved athletes, or street parties hit harder and draw stronger emotional ties.
Clear, honest talk about bonuses – especially wagering rules – matters just as much. LATAM players often arrive wary and quick to abandon sites that hide or twist the fine print. Simple, plain-language promises and fair play keep satisfaction high and churn low.
LATAM Regulation: Fragmented Today, Unified Tomorrow?
The legal landscape across LATAM still looks like a patchwork quilt, with every nation moving at its own rhythm. After years of debate, Brazil has at last laid down the first stones for an official iGaming market. Rules passed in 2023 set out licensing, tax rates and ad norms, marking a huge step for the region.
Colombia stays ahead, having greenlit online gambling in 2016 and handing out more than twenty operators’ licences since then. Its clear framework shows how steady oversight can tempt first-class global brands while still shielding everyday players.
Yet nations such as Venezuela and Bolivia remain at the back, relying on vague or years-old laws. So, firms chasing regional growth move quickly, launching under Curacao or MGA permits and promising to shift to local licenses once the rules firm up.
This patchwork of regulations calls for clear-eyed planning. Online casinos must link arms with lawyers and compliance pros who can steer them through local quirks, keep them out of gray markets, and support lasting operations.
LATAM’s online casino field is tricky but lucrative. Brands that respect local culture, invest in thorough localization, and build mobile-first sites stand a strong chance. As rules continue to modernize and user appetite grows, happy young audiences and friendly smartphone stacks regions shine as a fresh frontier for global iGaming.
