Nuestro foco es afianzar nuestra posición en Brasil, acelerar el crecimiento en México y otros mercados clave de Latam

A principios de abril, en São Paulo, se llevó adelante BIS SiGMA Americas, el importante encuentro de la industria del juego y las apuestas. Neko Games estuvo presente para acentuar la importancia del mercado brasileño, donde obtuvo la certificación de sus juegos a fines del año pasado.

Juan Pablo Córdoba López, fundador y CPO de la empresa, conversó con Yogonet para hacer un balance del evento. En la conversación, el ejecutivo destacó la importancia del mercado brasileño, así como de los planes a futuro de Neko Games para la región.

¿Qué balance han podido realizar de su paso por la feria de São Paulo, y qué importancia tiene para su empresa Brasil, como mercado en pleno desarrollo para el segmento de juegos y apuestas? Nuestra participación en BiS SiGMA 2025 fue sumamente positiva. Además de reencontrarnos con socios y operadores clave, fue una gran oportunidad para presentar nuestras últimas novedades en Instant Bingo, incluyendo varios títulos diseñados especialmente para el público brasileño.El recibimiento fue excelente: muchos operadores destacaron cómo logramos llevar el video bingo a un nuevo nivel, algo que no creían posible. Nos felicitaron tanto por la experiencia de juego, las gráficas y animaciones, como por la incorporación de features modernas que, hasta hace poco, eran difíciles de imaginar en este tipo de juegos. Pero lo que más valoraron fue la sinergia lograda entre todos esos elementos, que da como resultado una propuesta realmente diferencial.Brasil es hoy uno de los mercados más dinámicos y prometedores de la región. Desde Neko venimos apostando fuerte por este mercado, desarrollando productos que combinan la esencia del juego local con mecánicas contemporáneas y alto rendimiento. Confiamos plenamente en su potencial de crecimiento sostenido a medida que avanza el proceso regulatorio.

Durante la feria recibieron un importante premio, ¿qué nos puede comentar de este reconocimiento al trabajo desarrollado por Neko durante los últimos meses? Recibir el premio a Mejor Juego de Bingo del Año en los BiS Awards fue una enorme alegría para todo el equipo, y refleja el talento, la dedicación y la pasión con la que trabajamos cada día. Es un reconocimiento al camino que venimos recorriendo para romper con los paradigmas clásicos del video bingo, apostando a la innovación y llevando la categoría a una nueva etapa. Al mismo tiempo, nos impulsa a seguir desafiándonos. En una industria tan competitiva, innovar ya no es solo una consigna, sino una necesidad estratégica para mantenerse vigente.

¿Qué posición tienen hoy en el mercado, tanto en el de Brasil como en el resto de América Latina? ¿Y qué mercados les resultan particularmente importantes para incrementar este crecimiento en lo que resta de 2025? Neko es hoy una marca consolidada en el segmento de Instant Bingo en Brasil y en América Latina, y seguimos creciendo de forma sostenida en otras regiones gracias a nuestros acuerdos de distribución global. En Brasil, venimos ganando cada vez más presencia con juegos que están mostrando un rendimiento sobresaliente en operadores locales. Además, estamos ampliando nuestra propuesta hacia verticales más masivos, en línea con nuestra filosofía de diseño centrada en la experiencia, la innovación y la generación de valor tanto para el jugador como para el operador. Muy pronto esperamos poder compartir novedades en ese sentido. De cara al cierre de 2025, nuestros principales focos serán: afianzar nuestra posición en Brasil, acelerar el crecimiento en México y otros mercados clave de Latam, y seguir consolidando nuestra presencia en operadores internacionales que ya adoptaron nuestros juegos como una alternativa innovadora y rentable dentro del segmento.

Por último, y de acuerdo a su experiencia, ¿cuáles serán los principales desafíos que ven ustedes para Brasil como mercado, teniendo en cuenta las restantes autorizaciones y regulaciones que están pendientes en el país, y que requieren de un tratamiento político en los meses por venir? Considero que el principal desafío es doble: por un lado, continuar perfeccionando la regulación online ya existente, para construir un entorno claro, ágil y equilibrado para todos los actores del sector. Y por otro, acompañar este proceso con una expansión ordenada del canal land-based, apuntando a una propuesta de entretenimiento verdaderamente omnicanal. Desde nuestro rol como estudio de juegos, creemos que es fundamental que el marco regulatorio contemple la diversidad de productos y se enfoque en el entretenimiento y en la propuesta de valor para el jugador. Fomentar un ecosistema competitivo, innovador, orientado al juego responsable y con reglas claras es esencial para el desarrollo sostenido de la industria. Brasil tiene todo para convertirse en líder regional en el sector del juego online, y el rol del Estado será clave para transformar ese potencial en inversión, empleo y crecimiento a largo plazo.

“Neko Games focuses on localization in Brazil, will launch new version of historic ShowBall brand”

At BiS SiGMA Americas, Neko Games once again reinforced the importance of its proximity to partners and the exclusive games created for the Brazilian market. In an exclusive interview with GMB, Juan Pablo Córdoba, Product Director, revealed that new releases will be presented soon, including an updated version of one of the most iconic video bingo titles in Brazil, ShowBall, with renewed mechanics.

GMB – What were the main goals behind Neko Games’ entire leadership team attending BiS SiGMA Americas?
Juan Pablo Córdoba – As with every trade show, especially in Brazil, which is one of our most important markets, the primary goal is to stay in touch with our clients. That’s always essential, talking to them face-to-face, understanding their concerns, learning how our games are performing, and hearing their feedback. Additionally, we aim to meet new clients and operators in the market. Basically, it’s about staying connected with the industry.

As someone working in product development, how is Neko Games handling localization for the Brazilian market, especially since many of your games feature local themes like Carnival and Mãe do Ouro?
For us, localization is key in every market. Brazil, being our main market, is a top priority when we develop our game portfolio. We’re constantly looking for new stories, characters, and ways to connect with Brazilian culture and its unique identity. It’s part of our DNA—to create games that resonate with local culture, as well as with other markets.

What has been the response from players to Neko Games titles in Brazil?
It’s been excellent. The response has been very positive, both in terms of themes and game mechanics. That’s reflected in our KPIs around retention, acquisition, and value maximization. We’re really happy with the performance and are learning a lot, especially since the market only opened a few months ago and is still evolving. We need to keep learning and improving our portfolio.

You mentioned game mechanics. How is artificial intelligence driving the iGaming sector and product development in Neko?
In two main ways. First, in design: from the early sketches to initial game concepts, AI helps guide the process and saves us a lot of time. Our designers then interpret that guidance to create the final games. Second, in performance: our data is analyzed by both our team and AI, which makes the process more efficient and faster. That way, our games are aligned with those insights.

How do you see the Brazilian market in terms of partnerships between game providers, platforms, operators, and payment service providers? Does this ensure a brighter future for the sector?
Absolutely. We’re seeing more and more international operators and providers, as well as widely recognized payment methods from other markets, turning their attention to Brazil. This shows not only the importance of the market but also its increasing level of professionalism, which is essential for growth.

What new releases does Neko Games have coming up?
We recently launched Hot Fireballs Link&Win™, a title we had been developing for some time. Soon, we’ll be releasing a new version of ShowBall, a brand with deep roots in Brazil, with updated mechanics based on previous data analysis. And further ahead, we’ll be rolling out many new stories and local characters. We’re very excited about what’s coming.

Besides games, what other plans does Neko Games have for the Brazilian and Latin American markets?
For now, we remain focused especially on video bingos, but we do have plans to explore new game mechanics soon. We can’t reveal too much yet, but new developments are on the way.
