Hall of Game South America

As part of the prestigious BiS SiGMA South America Awards, the Hall of Game stands as a defining moment of recognition, honouring the individuals whose vision, leadership and influence have helped shape the trajectory of gaming and betting across Brazil and Latin America.

In a region undergoing rapid transformation, with regulation taking centre stage and new opportunities emerging at scale, Hall of Game celebrates the pioneers behind the progress. These are the decision-makers, policymakers and industry leaders whose contributions have guided the market through its formative years and continue to set the standards for sustainable, transparent and responsible growth.

More than an accolade, Hall of Game is a tribute to the impact driving the rapidly evolving South American market. It preserves the stories of those who have shaped the industry while inspiring the next generation to push boundaries, challenge convention and lead with purpose.

A night of recognition and celebration

The Hall of Game takes place during the SiGMA Awards South America, held on 06 April 2026 at the iconic Tokio Marine Hall in Sao Paulo. Set against an elegant backdrop, the evening brings together the industry’s most influential figures for a celebration of excellence, achievement and community.

Guests can expect a premium experience, with a gourmet dining menu, world-class entertainment and networking opportunities with leaders from across gaming, technology and digital innovation. Alongside recognising standout companies and individuals, the evening also supports the impactful initiatives of the SiGMA Foundation through its renowned charity auction.

The celebrations continue on 07 April with the BiS Awards, honouring the executives and companies that have made the greatest contributions to Brazil’s iGaming and betting industry over the past year.
