Safety for bettors

Laboratories accredited by Lottopar examine more than 130 certification items

Lottopar (Lotteries of the State of Paraná) was the pioneer in Brazil in accrediting testing and certification laboratories for the sports betting and lottery sector. The goal was to ensure that lottery operators accredited in Paraná offer fair, safe and fraud-free entertainment options. Today, more than 130 items are evaluated by the five companies authorized by the autarchy.

In order to guarantee safety and fairness in the Paraná lottery market, Lottopar determined that any sports betting and lottery operation authorized by the agency may only begin operations if the requirements set forth in the Notice are met.

Among them, the mandatory presentation of tests and certificates from internationally renowned laboratories that specialize in certifying gaming and lottery equipment in countries such as the United States, Spain, England and Portugal, as well as now also operating in Paraná, stands out.

Games and bets are only released for sale once the tests have been carried out and if everything is in compliance with the highest international rules for the sector, then the game receives certification.

To accredit these laboratories working with operators in Paraná, Lottopar required them to analyze more than 130 compliance items, including RNG tests, analyses of the algorithm, interval, cycle, pay tables, game information, analyses of the source code, systems and cryptographic security, among others.

In this way, we are ensuring that the games and bets regulated in Paraná are fair and safe and that they do not deceive the bettor. We want to offer safe entertainment for those who bet and with social return for the entire population. That's why I want to issue a warning: when you bet, bet for entertainment and not as a way to make easy money, and always look for an authorized operator,” highlighted Lottopar's Operations Director, Fabio Veiga.

RNG

The acronym RNG refers to Random Number Generation, which is a system that generates a sequence of numbers between a minimum and a maximum value. RNG is used to generate random results, and is a common element in games. That's why it's important for the laboratory to ensure that these numbers are generated in accordance with international standards and without external interference.
