Regis Dudena presented a history of the creation and structure of the secretariat, based on the Regulatory Law. “In fact, the Brazilian State is preparing to have a regulatory body and to have a structure to deal with the gaming sector,” he highlighted.
“Based on eleven topics foreseen in the regulatory agenda, we created 10 ordinances and there was a certain suspicion that the deadline set back then would not be met, but it was,” he added.
The secretary also commented on several of the points that were developed throughout the day, by other panels, such as payment methods, taxation, compliance and advertising of the new market, and responsible gaming, with devices to prevent addiction and indebtedness of bettors, with a focus on the responsibility of operators.
“Regulation is addressed to the betting agent. He is the first controller of his interaction with bettors. We have operators willing to do things within the law, others willing to exhaust the resources of bettors and also those willing to commit fraud. Those who remain will have duties: it is the operator's duty to have a responsible gaming policy, which will be evaluated,” he concluded.
The day featured the panel “Legal and Regulated Gaming”, moderated by José Francisco Manssur, from the Gaming Law Commission, OAB SP. He led the debate accompanied by Ana Bárbara Costa Teixeira, Director of Regulatory Affairs for Brazil at Grupo Ocean 88 and Consultant for the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL); Ana Helena Karnas Hoeffel Pamplona, ??co-founder of the Association of Women in the Gaming Industry and the Brazilian Institute of Gaming Law; and Neil Montgomery, Master in International Law from USP.
