The educational ecosystem was founded by lawyer Fabiano Jantalia, who has over 20 years of experience in regulation and is a specialist in Gaming Law. With a PhD and Master's in Law, and an MBA in Finance, the lawyer has award-winning work in the area and won a scientific research competition promoted by the Ministry of Finance in 2018 on the regulation of lotteries in Brazil.
His work served as inspiration for changes in legislation in the sector, which culminated in the enactment of Law No. 13,756 of 2018. He later served as a consultant during the processing of the new Sports Betting Law (Law No. 14,790 of 2023).
Due to the legislation approved last year, regulating sports betting, the market began to embrace online gaming even more, positively impacting the economy and the lives of thousands of Brazilians.
“Proof of this is that Brazil is currently considered the third largest online betting market in the world. To give you an idea of the potential of this industry, 14% of the population has already made at least one online bet in 2023. This is because Brazilians are highly engaged in the use of technology and are also sports enthusiasts,” explains Fabiano Jantalia.
According to a survey conducted by the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Market Entities (Abima), the gaming and betting market reaches approximately 22 million people, corresponding to approximately 14% of the Brazilian population. In turn, according to a study by Banco Itaú, between July 2023 and June 2024, betting apps received R$68 billion (US$ 12bn) in bets and paid out approximately R$44 billion (US$ 7.8bn) in prizes.
LegisMind's first initiative is “Rules of the Game”, the first specialized course in Gaming and Betting Law in Brazil. There will be 15 modules, with more than 70 classes, on interdisciplinary topics ranging from fundamental concepts and standards to payment methods and responsible gaming.
The course will also have live classes and there will be a certificate for students who complete 75% of the classes. The launch will be on October 10, at 8 pm, in an event that will be broadcast live on YouTube.
“We want to be agents of transformation for this emerging market, which will have a very high demand for specialized professionals in the coming months. That is why we have prepared a complete course that will teach everything a professional needs to know to work in this market,” highlights Jantalia.
