André Neves, Salsa Technology COO, is a global authority in the iGaming sector. His experience and leadership play a key role in developing innovative solutions that drive the company’s growth. During CGS Recife 2024, one of the most important events in the gaming industry in Latin America, Salsa Technology was awarded Best Game Aggregator, a recognition that reflects the company’s excellence and commitment to offering the best solutions to its partners. In this context, André Neves moderated one of the most anticipated panels of the event: “Advances in the Regulation of iGaming and Sports Betting”.
During the panel, Neves addressed the positive impact of regulation on the industry, highlighting how a regulated environment provides security for both operators and players, as well as providing a more transparent and trustworthy playing field. He emphasised the importance of regulation in fostering healthy industry growth, enabling innovation while ensuring compliance with rigorous safety and integrity standards.
Neves took the opportunity to highlight some of Salsa Technology’s leading solutions that are already operating in the Brazilian regulated market, such as Salsa Omni and Salsa Gator.
One of the topics Neves brought to the table was Salsa Safe, an innovative solution that is helping to shape the future of the iGaming industry. Salsa Safe is described as Salsa Technology’s “information vault”, a platform designed to meet the stringent demands of lotteries and regulatory bodies. The system is designed to provide operators with a complete data management solution, ensuring that operations are compliant with local laws and regulations.
André explained in detail about the concept behind “data vault” which refers to a secure, centralised environment where large volumes of critical and sensitive data are stored and managed. This data can include players’ personal information, financial transactions, betting records, gaming preferences, and other behavioural metrics. The security of this information is essential in an industry like iGaming, where user privacy and transaction integrity are vital to maintaining consumer trust and complying with data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) in Brazil and the GDPR in Europe.
The introduction of Salsa Safe offers a number of significant benefits to iGaming operators. Key benefits include: enhanced security, with multiple layers of protection against fraud and cyberattacks; regulatory compliance, ensuring that operators can easily meet regulatory requirements such as transaction transparency and data integrity; data centralisation, making it easier to manage large volumes of information in an organised and efficient manner; and advanced analytics capabilities, which allow operators to identify trends and optimize their operations based on the data collected.
Furthermore, Salsa Safe plays a crucial role in promoting responsible gaming, a major concern for the industry. The platform’s features allow players to monitor their activities in real time, identify risky behaviours and intervene appropriately, ensuring that operators are complying with best practices to protect vulnerable players.
Neves stressed that developing solutions such as Salsa Safe is a priority for Salsa Technology, which positions itself as an innovative company committed to quality. This vision is shared by Salsa founder Peter Nolte, who has repeatedly highlighted that the company’s mission is to offer robust and useful technological tools for the iGaming market, always focusing on security, compliance and innovation.
