Representatives from eCogra participated in the accreditation ceremony as an approved laboratory at Lottopar. The company was authorized in March this year and has since been qualified to work with lottery and sports betting operators for testing and issuing certificates in the state of Paraná.
No lottery operator receives the concession to market lottery products and betting without first presenting all certificates from approved laboratories that attest that the lottery products and systems comply with safety standards and regulations established by Lottopar.
“Lottopar, even before authorizing the commercialization of lottery products and fixed quota betting, prioritizes bringing to Paraná the best international practices of safe and responsible gaming. That's why we opened the call to accredit internationally renowned laboratories that are now attesting to the quality and safety of the lottery products marketed in our State”, declared the operations director of Lottopar, Fabio Veiga.
Paraná was a pioneer in Brazil in accrediting these laboratories, thus ensuring that any lottery and sports betting operation only starts in the State with the presentation of the certificates required by Lottopar.
This ensures the safety of the Paraná lottery market at all stages of the process, in addition to offering a safe entertainment experience for the bettor. The laboratories receive accreditation valid for one year, which can be renewed annually.
For the legal representative of the testing and certification laboratory eCogra, Udo Seckelmann, “it is an honor to be accredited here in Paraná and with the rise of the betting market, so we know the importance of certifying games, platforms and bringing a regulated industry that is growing and that effectively has protection for the end consumer. Lottopar has been doing a brilliant job”.
Security
The certifications issued by these laboratories ensure that the lottery and sports betting services are fair, safe, free from fraud, and meet the international quality standards required by Lottopar.
These laboratories operate in the betting and gaming market and perform a function similar to the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro), which promotes tests and ensures quality and safety.
Participated in the accreditation ceremony, for Lottopar, the operations director, Fabio Veiga; the administrative and financial director, Rogério Nogueira; the technical director, Rafael Halila; the chief of staff, Stefanny Fernandes, as well as representatives from the eCogra laboratory, Udo Seckelmann; the technology director, Bradley Khoury; and the senior director, Shaun Mccallaghan.
Paraná already has five accredited laboratories to work with lottery operators. The call for accreditation of testing and certification laboratories is open and can be consulted here.
