The appointment of Rocco Neto to the position, published in the Official Gazette of the Union this Monday (2), demonstrates the Federal Government's concern in forming the public staff related to the online betting and gaming market with eminently technical names.
Giovanni has a bachelor's degree in Law and a postgraduate degree in Political and Social Sciences and has several experiences in public administration. Until this year, he was president of the Association in Defense of Integrity and Rights and Duties in Games and Bets (Adeja BR).
“ANJL welcomes the secretary and is available to collaborate with the new Secretariat, as it has already done with the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA), of the Ministry of Finance,” stated ANJL President Plínio Lemos Jorge.
“This dialogue between private agents and the Union, which, according to the Federal Constitution, holds the regulatory power for the sector, is very important so that the players’ vision is present at all discussion tables. We are certain that Rocco Neto’s arrival will add to the efforts that have already been undertaken by operators and SPA for an honest and responsible market.”
For the association, the appointment also reiterates the government’s commitment to regulating the market, which is essential to dispel the fears of other sectors of the economy regarding the legalization and expansion of online betting and gaming in the country.
ANJL believes that a healthy and legalized business environment, with the reversion of resources for social good, is extremely important for the economic development of sports, one of the main functions of the new department.
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 the 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, WEpayments, 1xBet and PG Soft.
