Ranking of the best iGaming marketing agencies for Latin America in 2026: specialization, local teams, casino-native creator networks.
Does your casino, sportsbook or betting brand need creator-led player acquisition? Learn about our iGaming influencer marketing.
Latin America has become the fastest-growing region in online gaming and betting. Regulation is advancing market by market, audiences consume casino and sportsbook content daily on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and Kick, and operators compete for the same player with increasingly similar offers. In this context, the marketing agency an operator chooses is no longer a vendor decision: it is a growth decision.
Choosing wrong is expensive. An agency without local presence misreads the culture of each country. One that reports only reach cannot tell you what a player actually cost. And one that ignores compliance can put a license at risk. This ranking reviews the agencies most relevant for iGaming in LATAM in 2026, what each one is genuinely strong at, and who should choose which.
How we evaluated the agencies
A ranking is only useful if the criteria are explicit. These are the six we applied to every agency on this list:
Real iGaming specialization. Casino, sportsbook and betting are not generic verticals. We valued agencies whose core business is iGaming over generalist agencies with an iGaming department.
Local presence in LATAM. Teams on the ground that understand each market's culture, slang, payment habits and media landscape, not remote management from another continent.
Casino-native creator networks. Streamers, tipsters and creators whose audiences already bet, rather than generic lifestyle influencers.
Performance measurement. The ability to report first-time deposits (FTDs), deposits, retention and player lifetime value (LTV), not just impressions and clicks.
Compliance in regulated markets. Experience working with licensed operators under each country's advertising rules, age gates and responsible gambling messaging.
Technology and reporting transparency. Tooling that lets the client see what is happening in their campaign, ideally in real time.
The ranking
Every agency below earns its place for concrete strengths. Where figures are mentioned, they are the numbers each agency declares on its own site or public materials.
1. Miela
Miela takes the top spot because it is the only agency in this list that combines all six criteria at once, and the only one that pairs exclusive specialization with proprietary technology.
Its focus is influencer and creator marketing for gaming and iGaming with a brandformance approach: brand positioning and measurable performance inside the same campaign, across Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Kick. It operates with native local teams in Chile, Peru, Mexico and Argentina, and runs campaigns across multiple LATAM countries. Its declared network exceeds 500 creators, and campaigns are optimized by FTD, retention and LTV rather than by views. Its compliance-first model is built for regulated markets.
Miela also competes on scale, not only on high-touch service: through Envisioner it accesses thousands of verified influencer profiles for discovery and outreach, on top of its own network, so it can execute boutique campaigns and large multi-market campaigns with the same measurement standard. Scale is no longer a reason to choose a bigger, less specialized agency.
The technological differentiator is that same platform, Envisioner: clients see their campaign results in real time, including deliverables, hard metrics, CPA and ROI, instead of waiting for an end-of-month report. That transparency allows optimizing while the campaign is live, not after the budget is spent. The agency was also named a Clutch Top Content Marketing Company in Chile for 2026.
2. Basher Agency
Basher is a Peruvian-born iGaming specialist that has grown into a global player for casino and sportsbook marketing. Its service stack is explicitly full-service for operators: player acquisition, influencer campaigns, media buying, CRM, affiliation, SEO and partnerships, all for licensed operators. Its declared coverage spans Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Colombia and Argentina, with additional reach into regulated Europe and MENA according to its site.
The agency declares a network of more than 300 active talents across more than 15 countries and over $50 million in managed media, and it was named Agency of the Year at the 2025 AffPapa iGaming Awards, according to AffPapa. Its strength is bundling: an operator that wants creators, paid acquisition, affiliates and media buying coordinated under one roof, with one team accountable for the whole acquisition funnel, gets exactly that profile here.
3. AZAR
AZAR is a boutique agency created natively for Spanish-speaking LATAM, focused exclusively on connecting licensed iGaming operators with verified creators. Its positioning is explicit about quality control: no bots, no inflated reach, only measurable growth. It declares a network of more than 250 creators, streamers, affiliates and influencers across Twitch, Kick, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and X, covering casino, sports betting, poker, live casino and slots.
Its operating model runs in three steps: discover, mapping markets, audiences, creator fit and compliance needs; match, pairing operators with creators aligned to brand, product and geography; and scale, coordinating content, tracking, reporting and optimization. Attribution is built in from the start, with trackable links and creator codes. Its priority markets include Mexico, Peru and Colombia, and it works only with licensed operators. For brands that want casino-native creators rather than a generalist agency, this is the most specialized profile on the list.
4. MCR Agency
MCR is one of the reference gaming agencies in the Spanish-speaking market and Brazil. Since 2019 it has combined exclusive talent management with end-to-end campaign execution: it declares 80 exclusive talents under direct contract, a network of more than 2,000 creators, more than 30 global brands and over a thousand executed campaigns. Its site lists Tencent, Activision and Duolingo among the brands it serves as exclusive agency.
Its services cover influencer marketing, talent management, strategy and creativity, in-house content production, events and even out-of-home activations, with trilingual operations in Spanish, Portuguese and English and teams in Barcelona, Madrid, Mexico City and São Paulo. It is not exclusively iGaming, but for large gaming and betting brand campaigns that need top regional talent and full production under one roof, its scale is hard to match.
5. One Tap
One Tap works in creator and influencer marketing for iGaming with a direct management model: it handles selection, coordination and follow-up of influencers and streamers itself, rather than acting as a simple intermediary. Its declared figures on its site include more than 300 verified creators, coverage of more than 120 GEOs and a consistent average of more than 4,500 FTDs per month.
Its pitch centers on conversion: creators chosen for audience fit and real business objectives, with clear metrics tied to each campaign. For operators that want a creator partner measured directly in deposit volume across many markets, its declared numbers are among the most performance-explicit in this list.
6. 22Labs
22Labs is a B2B marketing, performance and AI agency that works with licensed iGaming operators; as its own site clarifies, it provides services to operators and does not run gambling operations itself. Its focus is the analytical side of growth: player acquisition, CRM, retention and player economics.
It reports experience operating iGaming in Argentina, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras, markets where regulatory and payment particularities make local operating knowledge valuable. For operators whose main gap is the performance and lifecycle side of the business rather than brand or creators, its profile is the most specialized in that direction on this list.
7. Salsa Technology / Salsa Consulting
Salsa Technology is a B2B iGaming company with a strong footprint in Latin America and Brazil, and its consulting arm covers much more than marketing: market-entry strategy, local presence, marketing, sales, legal and affiliate programs, with declared specialization in PT-BR and ES-LATAM.
Its background is technology and regulation: the company is known in the region for regulation-ready iGaming solutions, which gives its consulting work a compliance depth that pure marketing agencies rarely have. For operators entering Brazil or Spanish-speaking LATAM that need legal, operational and go-to-market support in one package, Salsa covers the widest scope of the list.
8. Income Access
Income Access, part of Paysafe, is one of the longest-standing affiliate marketing platforms in iGaming. It combines affiliate tracking software, program management and a managed affiliate network, and declares more than 300 brands across more than 50 iGaming markets, according to Paysafe.
Its strength is infrastructure rather than creativity: attribution, tracking, payouts and affiliate relationships at scale. For operators whose acquisition strategy is affiliate-first and who want platform and network in one place, it remains the reference option. Brands looking for creator-led brand building will need a different profile from this list.
9. Itzitip
Itzitip is a boutique agency focused on Spain and LATAM, with special attention to Chile, Peru and Mexico. Its iGaming offer combines influencer and brand ambassador management, from tipsters to sports figures, with search and paid social performance campaigns for certified markets, according to its site.
Its model covers the full relationship: selection, contract negotiation and content strategy, turning influencers into long-term brand ambassadors. For operators that want a boutique partner with a direct bridge between Spain and the main Latin American markets, and a mix of creator marketing and performance media, Itzitip offers that combination at a smaller, hands-on scale.
10. SocialPro
SocialPro combines Spain and LATAM with a specialization in gaming and iGaming creators. According to its site, it operates actively in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Peru with a manager dedicated to the Latin American market, and it declares verified results tracking and compliance as part of its offer, including FTD-level tracking.
Its profile sits between boutique and full-service: strategy, creator casting and execution with deposit-level measurement declared from the start. For brands that want creator campaigns in the region with Spain-based management and declared FTD tracking, SocialPro is a solid mid-size option.

Trends that will shape 2026
Three forces define where iGaming marketing in LATAM is heading. First, compliance stops being a checkbox and becomes a competitive advantage: regulated markets demand agencies that build campaigns around each country's rules from day one. Second, measurement moves from reach to player economics: FTDs, retention and LTV become the default language between operators and agencies. Third, creators consolidate as media: streamers and casino-native creators are no longer an experimental channel but a planned media line with budgets, tracking and optimization.
Against those three forces, the pattern of this ranking is clear: specialization, local presence, performance measurement and transparent technology are what separate a partner from a vendor.
