Southeast Asia’s Newest Hub for Licensing and Support Services in the iGaming Industry
Timor-Leste, the youngest country in Southeast Asia, is making significant strides towards becoming a leading hub for licensing and professional support services in the global iGaming industry. This exciting development will witness the establishment of the Virtual Gaming Association (VGA) of Timor-Leste, which aims to create a policy of best practices for the licensing and regulation of iGaming in the country.
Partners in Action at SiGMA Tradeshow in Malta
To realize this vision, key stakeholders are currently attending the SiGMA tradeshow in Malta. They are engaging with global gaming operators and gathering valuable industry feedback that will shape the definition of iGaming policies in Timor-Leste. These discussions will help position the country as a globally recognized and iGaming-friendly licensing jurisdiction.
Panel Discussion with Timor-Leste’s Ambassador and Industry Experts
During the Malta Experts Insight summit, Timor-Leste’s Ambassador to Indonesia, HE Filomeno Alexio, shared the stage with industry experts Antonio Sampaio, Richard Leather, and Patrice Rodrigue. Together, they addressed questions and provided insights about Timor-Leste’s new jurisdiction and its potential in the iGaming industry. The summit was preceded by a video message from Timor-Leste’s President and Nobel Laureate Jose Ramos-Horta, highlighting the unique position of the country in Asia.
Timor-Leste’s Potential and Emerging Opportunities
With two-thirds of its population under the age of 30, Timor-Leste presents immense opportunities for the establishment of call centers, data centers, and the development of a luxury resort and casino. This burgeoning sector has the potential to drive economic growth and create new jobs in the country.
