The theme now is anti-fraud and money laundering prevention actions, a very current subject that always requires attention from public entities and lottery operators.
Loterj clarifies that all lottery products sold and paid prizes have verification mechanisms for tracking and action against fraud, from ticket authenticity, through the point of sale to payment and winner data. “Everything is traceable and controlled,” informs Loterj.
The company points out, for example, that ‘Raspa Rio’ and ‘Rio de Prêmios’ tickets, important modalities marketed by Loterj, have a safe and efficient validation system, which also relies on modern technology for inviolability and data integrity, “offering full protection against fraud and tampering.”
Likewise, the values of prizes paid by Loterj are reported to the control and inspection bodies, as established by law.
“According to Law 9.613/98, which deals with crimes of money laundering and concealment of assets, Loterj communicates to Coaf (Council for the Control of Financial Activities) the data of prize winners from R$ 10,000 (US$ 2,010),” it stresses, adding that in compliance with Federal Revenue regulations, it pays withholding income tax on prizes above R$ 1,903.98 (US$ 383).
Lotejr says all of this is necessary to stop illegal activities like money laundering, terrorist financing and organized crime. The company closes the post pointing out who wins: “The gamblers, who have the guarantee that they will receive the prizes and the population in general, as the State guarantees a source of financing for social investments and benefits for citizens.”
