Who we are
Focus Gaming News was founded by Fernando Saffores with the mission to cover the iGaming industry professionally, independently, and with true global reach. What began as a single editorial outlet has grown into a multi-vertical media brand with dedicated coverage for Latin America, Brazil, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and (launching in 2026) the United Arab Emirates and the wider Middle East region.
Our editorial approach combines breaking news with in-depth analysis, executive interviews, regulatory intelligence, and strategic content designed for iGaming professionals at every level, from operators and suppliers to regulators and investors. With roughly 60 articles published daily across all editions, Focus Gaming News is one of the most active and prolific iGaming news operations in the world.
We are also proud partners of the SiGMA Foundation, supporting its charitable initiatives and contributing to a more responsible and sustainable global gaming industry.
