About Entertain Monitor
Entertain Monitor is an independent research publication dedicated to tracking the global online entertainment industry. We provide data-driven market analysis, regulatory landscape overviews, and platform reviews to help industry professionals, researchers, and consumers make informed decisions.
Our Mission
The online entertainment industry generates nearly $100 billion annually and touches billions of lives across the globe. Yet reliable, independent information about this industry remains scarce — particularly for emerging markets in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
We bridge this gap by delivering country-specific research that combines local market expertise with global industry perspective.

- Southeast Asia Desk — Covers Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Focus on e-wallet ecosystems (OVO, GoPay, GCash) and ASEAN regulatory developments.
- Latin America Desk — Covers Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina. Specializes in OXXO/SPEI payment infrastructure and SEGOB licensing frameworks.
