Last Thursday night (6), in Curitiba, the new modality “Raspinha” was officially launched, in an event promoted by Apostou.com, the company responsible for marketing the Instant Lottery in Paraná. The ceremony was an opportunity for this public to learn more about the new lottery option made available to the people of Paraná, in a regulated and authorized manner by Lottopar.
For the president of Lottopar, Daniel Romanowski, “what seemed like an unattainable dream today has become reality. Especially for those who follow the lottery market in Brazil, we already knew about the challenges and our motto here in Paraná is not to discuss ideology, but rather methodology, with this we brought the best global practices to our State and today we have a reference state lottery and with social return for the people of Paraná.”
João Mota, CEO of Apostou.com, the company responsible for “Raspinha”, highlights the reason that led the company to invest in the State of Paraná.
“Well, people think, Paraná attracted a lot of attention due to its population of 12 million inhabitants, with a very large territory, but that was not the reason for choosing it, it was because of the level of regulation and the high level of Paraná Lotteries,” he stated.
Addressing the topic of security in lottery transactions, Paybrokers representative, Roberto Reaginini, also highlighted Lottopar's work with Safe Gaming and Responsible Gaming, carried out seriously.
“Lottopar is a reference for other lotteries in Brazil on this topic. There are several tools implemented in lottery operations here in Paraná, which guarantees a safe game for the people of Paraná,” he commented.
GLI's government relations and business development executive, Walter Delfraro Junior, who also participated in the event, highlighted Lottopar's pioneering spirit with the accreditation of testing and certification laboratories.
“We were the first accredited laboratory in Brazil and thanks to the pioneering work of Lottopar, it was the first lottery in Brazil to accredit testing and certification laboratories for the gaming and lottery industry. That’s why I congratulate Daniel Romanowski’s entire team for this pioneering work,” he said.
