Playtech leadership has advised partners to exercise caution when it comes to navigating volatile regulations in core markets.

In the wake of its H1 financial report where it reinstated its commitment to Latin American markets like Mexico, Colombia and Brazil, the B2B gambling group expressed some reservations about a list of proposed tax changes in the relevant jurisdictions.

A major development for Playtech in Mexico saw the company acquire a 30.8% equity stake in local operator Caliente. SBC News spoke to both Playtech’s CFO, Chris McGinnis, and CEO Mor Weizer, about the long-term prospects of this deal.
