Globo to hold seminar on regulation of ‘Bets’ and legalization of casinos in Brazil

Latin America's largest media conglomerate is increasingly involved in the world of sports betting, online gaming and, now, casinos. Editora Globo, one of the branches of the Brazilian communications giant, will hold the seminar “The Challenge of Regulating ‘Bets’ and Casinos” next August 26 in its auditorium in Rio de Janeiro.

With sports betting and online gaming undergoing a regulatory process and the legalization of casinos in Brazil ready to be voted on by the Senate Plenary, Editora Globo will discuss the challenges for the country in light of this new economic climate.

The free seminar “The Challenge of Regulating ‘Bets’ and Casinos” will take place in the auditorium of Editora Globo in Rio de Janeiro and will feature two discussion panels on the topic. It will bring together authorities and experts to discuss the challenges of the new legislation for ‘Bets’ – as opertors al called in Brazil- and the bill that legalizes other types of gambling in the country.

The first panel will bring together Celso Sabino, Minister of Tourism; Senator Irajá (PSD-TO), rapporteur of the bill on gambling in the Senate; Hazenclever Lopes Cançado, president of Loterj; and Magno José, president of the Brazilian Institute of Legal Gambling (IJL).

Next, aspects of responsible gaming and the care for the mental and financial health of gamblers will be discussed. The topic will be analyzed by Anna Lucia Spear King, a psychologist and doctor in mental health and founder of the Delete Institute – Conscious Use of Technologies; and Paola Figueiredo, president of RioSolidário, an entity that receives financial support from Loterj with resources from lotteries and iGaming. The panel will be moderated by journalist Ascânio Seleme.

The seminar “The Challenge of Regulating ‘Bets’ and Casinos” is organized by Editora Globo and has the support of the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro.

The event will take place next Monday (26) starting at 9:30 am at Rua Marquês de Pombal, 25 – Centro/RJ. Registration can be done here.
