Book a Pre-Event Consultation with Stephen Crystal

Get ahead of the conversation before the Venezuela Gaming Expo begins with a personalised pre-event consultation with Stephen Crystal.

What you are preparing for

The Venezuela Gaming Expo 2027 is the first international gaming conference in Venezuela’s history. It runs 27 to 29 April 2027 at the Eurobuilding Hotel & Suites in Caracas, presented by SCCG LATAM.

Firsts of this kind do not repeat. The delegates who matter will meet each other for the first time in that room, and the relationships formed there will shape who does business in Venezuela for the next decade. Arriving without a plan means spending three days discovering what you should have decided before you flew.

Why this market, and why now

Venezuela is not an emerging market in the usual sense. The demand already exists and is being expressed today. Twenty-nine million people, six million active wagerers. Roughly 46% of Venezuelan adults already wager, depositing close to $2.1 billion a year through domestic channels, at close to Mexican per-capita intensity on a fraction of the income.

What changed is access, not appetite. The gaming market produces an estimated $165 to $250 million in GGR today, with a base case of $500 to $700 million within five years as international technology, content and capital enter through partnerships with domestic operators. OFAC General License 57 opened the state banking system to international financial services in April 2026, and the barriers that kept the industry out came down together rather than one at a time.

Venezuela’s four regulatory bodies, CNC, CONALOT, SUNAHIP and INH, govern every gaming vertical between them. At the Expo they will be in one room, at the same time, for the first time. For anyone weighing a licence application or a partnership structure, that access is the event.

Why the conversation is with Stephen

SCCG has spent more than three decades placing operators, suppliers and investors into markets at the point where they open, and working with regulators and tribal nations on the other side of the same table. That is an unusual vantage point, and it is the reason a pre-event conversation is worth having rather than simply turning up.

Stephen knows which introductions are worth making and which are noise. He can tell you where a market of this shape typically rewards early entrants and where it punishes them, what a domestic partnership actually has to look like to work, and which of your assumptions about Venezuela are out of date. Most of what SCCG does is introduce two businesses that should already have met, and the groundwork for that happens before the doors open.

What a consultation covers

This consultation is designed to help you maximise your time at the event by preparing with strategy and purpose before you arrive. Whether you are entering a new market, exploring partnerships, expanding your brand, raising capital, or looking to connect with key stakeholders in the region, Stephen can help you approach the event with a clear plan.

You will have the opportunity to discuss your business objectives, current priorities, and what you hope to achieve during the expo. From identifying the right introductions to refining your event strategy, SCCG helps turn conversations into meaningful opportunities and long-term business growth.

Start the conversation early and arrive at the expo with stronger positioning, clearer direction, and a roadmap for success.
