Regulation clarifies rules Fortune Tiger and similar games

ANJL assesses that Finance Ministry ordinance reiterates legality of online gaming in Brazil

Ordinance 1,207 from the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) reiterates the legality of online gaming in Brazil, as already provided for by Law 14,790/2024. This is the assessment of the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL), which believes that the main point of the regulation is the clarification of the rules that will have to be followed by operators who offer this type of games.

According to the ordinance, all online games must inform the bettor, at the time of placing a bet, of the multiplication factor that will define the value of the prize to be received in the event of a winning bet. Furthermore, even before placing bets, the payment tables must be available on the websites, following a model defined by the SPA.

“This was one of the most anticipated ordinances by the sector, due to the misguided discussions that have been taking place in various sectors of public opinion about the legality of this type of game. With the detailed rules to be followed, there will be no more doubts about the integrity of games such as slot games, such as Fortune Tiger; crash games, such as Aviator, among others,” says Plínio Lemos Jorge, president of ANJL.

ANJL also highlights that the ordinance defined that the compliance and integrity of these games must be certified by certifiers accredited by the Ministry of Finance, which will provide an extra layer of security for bettors and for the market itself.

“This is very important because players will be able to distinguish between legal operators, who will offer games within the rules, and illegal operators, whose games will not provide any guarantee of fairness in terms of prizes,” adds Plínio.

Launched in March 2023, the National Association of Games and Lotteries defends the interests of its members, the sector and responsible and honest gaming, always guided by the promotion of sports, the security of bets and the contribution to the economic development of the country.

Among its members are galera.bet/Playtech, Big Brazil, F12, PagBet, BetNacional, Mr. Jack, Parimatch, BetFast, Aposta Ganha, Liderança Capitalização, ZRO Bank, Propane, PAAG, Clear Sale, BetBox tv, StarsPay and WEpayments.
