The National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL) is pleased to announce that all associated betting houses are legalized, joining the list of companies published by the Secretary of Prizes and Bets (SPA), from the Ministry of Finance. For the entity, the complete adherence of the linked bets demonstrates its commitment to the regulation of the sector in Brazil and to responsible gaming.
All betting houses that are legalized will continue to operate in Brazil normally until the effective start of the regulated market, scheduled for January 1, 2025. Until then, the country is experiencing what the Treasury itself defined, through Ordinance 1.475, as a period of adaptation.
“The regulation process has been extremely rigorous, which assures the market and the bettors themselves that a safe environment for betting is being formed in Brazil. This initial list of companies, linked to 205 brands, is an important filter for the sector, although it is not definitive”, evaluates the president of ANJL, Plínio Lemos Jorge.
The association considers, however, that from January 1, many serious companies that were unable to submit their license application in time for the adaptation period, that is, before the publication of Ordinance 1.475, will have their requests approved.
“This Thursday (3, around 3:15 PM), the Betting Management System (Sigap) of the Ministry of Finance, had 183 companies that requested the license. That is, there is still a considerable number to be analyzed. With this, we believe that the current list is likely to increase from next year”, completes Plínio.
With the confirmation of the companies authorized by the Treasury, the ANJL associates are already implementing on their platforms the Adaptation Seal, launched by the entity on Tuesday (1st). The measure will help bettors to immediately identify, visually, that they are playing on a legalized platform.
Launched in March 2023, the National Association of Games and Lotteries defends the interests of its members, the sector, and responsible and fair gaming, always guided by the encouragement of sports, the safety of bets, and the contribution to the economic development of the country.
Among the members are galera.bet/Playtech, Big Brazil, F12, PagBet, Betnacional, Mr. Jack, Parimatch, BetFast, Aposta Ganha, Liderança Capitalização, Z.ro Bank, Propane, Paag, Clear Sale, BetBox tv, StarsPay, 1xBet, and PG Soft.
