The novelty of this new accreditation period, already provided for in the Public Notice, is the possibility that sports betting companies can market online games exclusively in a virtual environment in a regulated and certified manner.
Loterias do Estado do Paraná (Lottopar) published this week the opening of a new accreditation application period so that companies interested in participating in this new fixed-odds betting accreditation window can express their interest and send the documentation required by the Public Notice. The first phase of the Public Announcement, which consists of the expression of interest by bidders and the sending of documentation, begins on June 3 and runs until July 3.
Once the documentation has been sent, the Lottopar Special Accreditation Commission begins the analysis of the documents received. It is in this phase that companies can be authorized to continue the accreditation process or be disqualified. This document analysis, as well as the other stages of accreditation, comply with the conditions and specifications contained in Announcement 01/2023 – Accreditation of fixed probability bets. The announcement of qualified companies is scheduled for the second half of July.
Despite this being a new window with the reopening of the date for new fixed-odds sports betting companies to participate in the accreditation, the rules and provisions remain the same as those of the first accreditation period specified in Announcement 01/ 2023 – Accreditation of Fixed Odds Betting. Among the conditions already established, we highlight that every authorized operator must be connected to the management platform and payment methods contracted by Lottopar, which provides security in Fixed Betting (AQF) operations, and must present a guarantee worth R$ 5. 8 million, the payment of a fixed subsidy of 5 million reais and a variable subsidy of 6% of the concessionaire's gross income (GGR), which is the total amount collected from the commercialization of lottery products, less the payout (amount intended for the payment of prizes ) in the same period.
«This is a new opportunity for companies in the sector to participate in accreditation in Paraná, the fastest growing state in Brazil, a leader in public transparency, sustainability and reference in lottery management, with legal certainty, respect for territoriality and pioneer spirit. We were the first state to accredit testing and certification laboratories, we are the only lottery in Brazil associated with three of the largest global institutions for responsible gaming and combating the manipulation of sports results (CIBELAE, WLA and ULIS), and we were the first lottery in hiring an integrated management and payment platform, among other actions that prevent currency evasion and money laundering. That is why I say that Paraná is the most attractive state for sports betting companies to work in a regulated manner and help build a safer, fairer, more reliable and responsible market,” said Lottopar CEO Daniel Romanowski.
The inclusion of online games in this new accreditation period complies with the provisions of Federal Law No. 14,790, of December 29, 2023, which modified Federal Law No. 13,756, of 2018, creating the betting lottery modality. fixed fee on virtual online gaming events. Thus, this new accreditation window opens the possibility for authorized dealers that already operate in the state of Paraná and those who may do so after this new accreditation window, to opt for the sale or not of online games, which is not mandatory but optional.
The offer of online games exclusively in a virtual environment is authorized, in the form of fixed probability bets, which are based on virtual events and whose result is determined by the result of a random future event, based on a Random Number Generator (Games, RNGs and Platforms), symbols, figures or objects, and each online game is required to disclose a prize table, its algorithm, as well as the potential prizes for each play. In fixed odds betting, the bettor knows how much he can win and how he can win before placing the bet, since the rules must be clear and visible at the time of placing the bet.
In order to guarantee a healthy and responsible betting environment, Lottopar, through Ordinance No. 035/2024, establishes standards that must be met by licensees in the marketing of online games, including:
