The deputy secretary of prizes and draws at the Brazilian Ministry of Economy’s Secretariat of Evaluation, Planning, Energy and Lottery (Secap-ME) has given some hope that sports betting regulation could arrive this year. According to Waldir Eustáquio Marques Jr, regulation of the sector could be forthcoming in July.

Marques said: “Sports betting has some peculiarities distinct from traditional lotteries, and it involves very strong technological requirements that need to be studied a lot, such as the integrity of the sport, the prevention of money laundering, the prevention of the pathology of vulnerable players.

“We have closely studies the technicalities of administration, participated in various events and trained so that we can regulate this activity without having to take one step forward then another step back.”

According to Marques, the previous administration was very close to defining a regulatory framework but some aspects forced them to review the rules drawn up.

We have witnessed the efforts that the government and the industry had made throughout all these years to regulate different forms of gaming and lottery, and we feel fortunate to have been part of it while sharing our global expertise and putting the local focus needed in providing support customized to the Brazil culture and particularities of this unique market.
