(Buenos Aires, SoloAzar Exclusive).- Diego Raffo, President of the Gol company, spoke exclusively with SoloAzar during his participation in SAGSE Latin America. "The Argentine player is an expert player, who knows perfectly not only about the game but also all kinds of online products in the region," he said.
What did you present at this year's SAGSE Buenos Aires?
This year, through a strategic alliance that we have with the company Ed Roberts, we are inside its stand presenting some of the solutions that we had been introducing in the market in previous years, and this year integrating a bit more to the local partner in this region.
How do you see the current edition of SAGSE?
The first day we saw it excellent. In comparison with previous years, we think there were more visitors. The second was day a little calmer, but the people we were interested in seeing, we could find them, and, as always, we are happy to be here.
How do you see the Argentine market?
Argentina has not yet changed everything that has to do with the legislation for the online industry, which is a big concern because in countries like Chile today they are already discussing and trying. It may be that Uruguay also does it, and that is going to make a lot more money from Argentina, in this case not to European countries, which is usually where these platforms come from, but to neighboring countries, and even not make a decision, whether national or provincial, we will continue to hope that the neighbors continue to advance as in many other industries in which Argentina is watching what happens.
Do you think that the Argentine and South American player is already fully trained for this new type of virtual, online, sports betting game?
Yes, Argentina, according to newspaper reports that have been made and that were presented in private consultancies, every year more than 2500 million dollars are going abroad for online gaming; the tracking is very easy, it is through credit cards of Argentine citizens, who buy credit in companies abroad. That is how dollars are going, that Argentina lacks today instead of staying here; And the country cannot aspire to obtain dollars from other countries to stay in the country, as well as spend money on tourism or shopping online portals elsewhere, well, here is the same, the money goes. And the Argentine player is an expert player, who knows perfectly not only about the game but also all kinds of online products in the region. Our country has always been a pioneer, first in cable television, then in Internet penetration, today in cell phones there are more than 60 million lines, which is fully trained and is a professional player that online would have no problem.
Did you have the opportunity to attend the SAGSE conferences?
Yes, we participated, just like last year, and the truth is that it is very good to generate a community and a space to try to present different points of view, showing the experience of Malta, a country practically in which its main industry is the game, and where almost all the companies in the world have an office or a representation in that country to project themselves to the world, and having the vision of these people is obviously something to try to copy, improve or add our local touch to develop it In our country.
How do you close the year?
In terms of products, being always the same industry, the products can be renewed every six months, every year, because there is always a new game, there are always new specialties within the games. Today what we are incorporating are more countries. At this moment we are working in Paraguay with the Asunción casino, being the only license for online gaming in Paraguay, regulated by the CONAJZAR. We also continue working and operating in Mexico, in the Dominican Republic, in Ecuador, in Peru and always with all the desire to try to be in Argentina.
What are the next shows?
G2E Las Vegas and then we will go to Malta in November.
