Benefits for the public and country's economy

BETesporte celebrates obtaining definitive authorization to operate iGaming in Brazil

This Tuesday (11), the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) of the Ministry of Finance published an ordinance that definitively authorizes BETesporte's operations in Brazil. One of the main companies in the sports betting and online gaming sector, the brand that has Zico - idol of the Brazilian National Team - as its ambassador, can now operate for the next five years.

It is worth remembering that BETesporte had already obtained authorization to operate on a provisional basis, after paying the R$30 million grant (US$ 5.15m). However, with the definitive permission, the new operating period of the betting company in Brazil extends until December 31, 2029.

We are very happy with the authorization to operate definitively in Brazilian territory. Ever since the regulatory process was established, we understood that it was necessary, important for the sector and that it would bring a series of benefits to all companies that work seriously, to the public and also to the country's economy," celebrates Vinicius Nogueira, CEO of BETesporte.

"We made sure to meet all the requirements requested by the federal government, quickly, and now we are proud to say that we are one of the first to be 100% regularized", he reinforces.

The company began the first year of the new regulation with several new developments, starting with the announcement of master sponsorship for clubs such as CRB and CSA, from Alagoas, and Volta Redonda, from Rio de Janeiro.

More recently, BETesporte also signed an agreement with former soccer player Zico to be its new ambassador and, with the arrival of the star, the brand once again emphasized the importance of Responsible Gaming through the slogan: "Real stars play responsibly!".

BETesporte, a major supporter of Brazilian football, is currently the master sponsor of CRA, CSA and Volta Redonda, a team from Rio de Janeiro that will compete in the Série B of the Brazilian Championship in 2025. Previously, the company had already established partnerships with several clubs in recent years, such as Goiás, Vila Nova, Caxias, Ypiranga and Aparecidense. The company operates in the betting sector with a variety of betting options and offers thousands of events daily.

On the platform, users have access to an innovative, technological and user-friendly interface, which encompasses numerous sports, from football to MMA, including vaquejada, motocross, tennis, basketball and many others.

With the aim of offering a dynamic and interactive service, the company integrates mobile devices and allows players to follow statistics on sporting events in real time, in addition to showing live games from championships such as the NBA, Bundesliga and Supercopa.
