Continent 8 now offers its full suite of services based out of Puerto Rico.
As per the expansion strategy of the company, services in Peru are scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2022.
Gabriel Szlaifsztein, General Manager for Latin America at Continent 8 Technologies, commented: “The LatAm market is opening up at pace and in Puerto Rico, we have a jurisdiction that offers a great deal of potential for operators and suppliers.
“The launch of our services in Puerto Rico aligns with efforts to be first to market in the key regions being targeted by our customers, and also in our belief that Latin America will become one of the most significant online gambling markets in the world.”
