Octus Legal iGaming to provide legal advice to certification laboratory Quinel in Brazil

Octus Legal iGaming announces its strategic partnership with Quinel, a renowned international certification laboratory that lands in Brazil to evaluate platforms, live gaming studios and online games. This collaboration marks a significant advance in the regulation of sports betting and iGaming in the country. Last May, the company had already been approved to work with Lottopar, in the state of Parana.

Based on Ordinance SPA/MF No. 300/2024, Octus is providing legal advisory to Quinel in the process of recognizing its operational capacity as a certification entity. The tests and certifications carried out by these accredited companies to operate alongside lottery and sports betting operators ensure that the games are safe, fair, and free from fraud.

Quinel, a renowned international certification laboratory, takes its first steps in Brazil. Thanks to this partnership, the company will ensure the necessary recognition to certify platforms, live gaming studios, and online games to be used by operators in Brazil, in compliance with Ordinance SPA/MF No. 300/2024 and 722/2024.

"The collaboration with Octus brings security and reaffirms our laboratory's commitment to global compliance rules and the new Brazilian legislation," says Pietro Fiorito, CCO Quinel.

Last month, Quinel was authorized by Lottopar's board to operate alongside lottery and sports betting operators in the jurisdiction of Paraná. The laboratory will be responsible for conducting rigorous tests on electronic games, lottery systems, online platforms, and other related components.

 



"We are honored to assist in the arrival of an international certification laboratory in Brazil, excited about the opportunities that this collaboration will bring, and committed to transforming the iGaming market in the country," Octus states on its social networks.

Octus Legal iGaming is a group of lawyers and legal consultants ready to provide personalized services to companies operating in the iGaming industry. As gaming enthusiasts, they aim to be part of the development of legal services in this growing and evolving sector.

"We are excited to contribute to a more transparent and robust market that will benefit both operators and players," said Rubio Teixeira, founder of Octus.

The office works with many gaming and betting companies in Europe, Africa, Central and Latin America.

"Accreditation with the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting is the first step to the success of a certification laboratory in Brazil," commented Rafael Biasi, Legal Affairs at Octus.

The Octus team is specialized and ready to assist with what operators need - company formation, acquisition of gaming licenses worldwide, opening of bank accounts, contract review, integration of payment methods, and much more.
