The company, renowned for its cutting-edge software solutions for casinos and online sports betting platforms, is embracing the new regulatory framework with enthusiasm. Discover how Oddsgate is leading by example, supporting its partners, and ensuring compliance in Brazil’s dynamic betting market.
Embracing Regulation: A Strategic Move
With the official commencement of licensing processes in Brazil, betting companies now have a pathway to operate legally in one of the world’s most promising markets. Oddsgate has welcomed these regulatory advancements with open arms, recognizing the importance of a well-structured legal framework in fostering a safe and sustainable betting environment.
Óscar Madureira, Chief Legal Officer (CLO) of Oddsgate, emphasized the company’s commitment to working closely with regulatory authorities, local operators, and other stakeholders. “It’s with great enthusiasm that we announce that Oddsgate welcomes the new regulations in Brazil’s sector very positively,” Madureira stated. “We’re prepared to work closely with regulatory authorities, local operators, and other interested parties to ensure our platform continues to comply with all legal and regulatory requirements while providing excellent customer service.”
By aligning itself with Brazil’s new regulations, Oddsgate is not only ensuring its operations are above board but also setting a standard for others in the industry to follow. The company’s proactive approach to compliance underscores its dedication to creating a trustworthy and transparent betting ecosystem.
Supporting Partners Through Regulatory Challenges
As the Brazilian market transitions into a regulated environment, Oddsgate is standing by its partners, particularly those already at the forefront of this new regulatory era. The company is committed to offering continuous support, ensuring that its partners navigate the complexities of the regulatory landscape with confidence and ease.
Oddsgate’s dedication to integrity, data protection, and maintaining updated certifications is evident in its recent achievement of the GLI-33 certification. This milestone not only enhances the company’s credibility but also reinforces its commitment to delivering secure and reliable solutions in the Brazilian market.
Madureira highlighted the importance of collaboration in this process, stating, “We believe that the regulatory movement in Brazil represents a unique opportunity to strengthen the market, providing a safe and fair experience for all users.” This collaborative mindset is central to Oddsgate’s strategy, as it continues to build and strengthen partnerships across South America.
The Regulatory Landscape in Brazil
Since the enactment of Law 14,790/23 in December 2023, Brazil has been steadily working towards regularizing its iGaming and sports betting sectors. Companies seeking to operate legally in Brazil have been diligently preparing to meet the stringent criteria set forth by the new regulations.
In August 2024, the application period for betting licenses closed, with companies now under evaluation to determine their compliance with the established standards. The first permits are expected to be issued by January 2025, marking a significant milestone in Brazil’s efforts to create a transparent and secure betting industry.
These regulations impose rigorous requirements on operators, including legal qualification, tax and labor regularity, suitability, and economic-financial and technical qualifications. Additionally, companies must pay a fee of R$30 million for a license valid for five years.
Oddsgate is not only prepared to meet these requirements but is also eager to explore the new opportunities that the Brazilian market presents. The company’s commitment to responsible gaming and sustainable growth positions it as a leader in this emerging market.
Oddsgate’s proactive embrace of Brazil’s new betting regulations is a testament to its commitment to excellence and integrity in the iGaming industry. By rigorously addressing all regulatory requirements, the company is setting a benchmark for others to follow, ensuring that its operations—and those of its partners—are fully compliant with the law. As Brazil’s betting market continues to evolve, Oddsgate is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping a responsible, transparent, and thriving industry. The company’s forward-thinking approach, combined with its dedication to supporting its partners, positions Oddsgate as a key player in the future of Brazil’s regulated betting market.
