Guimarães will open the debate with the advance of regulation of lotteries and sports betting in Brazil. While the move from billing taxes to GGR is good news, there are still many details to be resolved before the regulatory and licensing framework is ready for the 2022 deadline. The webinar will serve to learn more about what will come in this issue
In addition to taxation, the Ministry of Economy still faces two other challenges: infra-legal regulation to avoid conflicts and privatization of the sector to promote competition.
Learning from international best practices, SECAP's aim is to protect the player first while creating a competitive environment for the industry.
SECAP's efforts depend on a healthy gaming market in the country. In the first half of 2019, the traditional lotteries operated by CAIXA through 13,000 points of sale in more than 5,000 cities showed growth.
This year, federal lotteries have already surpassed R$ 2.7 billion (US$ 516m) for social causes in the first four months, showing an increase amid the pandemic of 13% compared to the same period last year. The results show the potential of the Brazilian market.
