Betting houses will have an additional 15 days, starting this Thursday (5), to operate regulated sportsbooks and online gaming in Rio de Janeiro. The Loterj reopened the accreditation period, maintaining all the clauses and conditions of the Accreditation Notice No. 01/2023.
The goal of the State Lottery of Rio de Janeiro is to attract even more companies to the regulated market and ensure an increase in revenue, both from the grant itself, of R$ 5.2 million, and from the tax associated with the operation, which was set at 5% of the GGR.
The previous deadline ended on August 14, a week before the betting houses also submitted their license applications to the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) of the Ministry of Finance to operate throughout Brazil.
At the federal level, 113 license applications were submitted while the previous accreditation from Loterj had about 20 companies presenting their accreditation requests. For strategic reasons, Loterj did not disclose the exact number of companies that presented themselves to the agency.
With the new reopening, Loterj continues its project to become the main state lottery in Brazil and keeps the accreditation open for sports betting and online gaming companies to qualify in Rio de Janeiro until early November.
Already in operation in the state are Apostou RJ, Bestbet, MarjoSports, Caesars Sportsbook/BiG Brazil, RioJogos and Pixbet. Other Brazilian, European, and North American companies continue with the accreditation in progress and undergoing technical analyses and Proof of Concept (PoC).
All information about the Notice is available on the website https://www.loterj.rj.gov.br/

Ricardo Pessanha will take over Banestes Loteria, a subsidiary of the Bank of the State of Espírito Santo that will operate lotteries and online betting. A lawyer, Pessanha has held various positions within the government of Renato Casagrande and was recently at the State Development Undersecretary.
Banestes Loteria was created to operate the public lottery service of the state. The bank is looking for a world-class foreign partner for a 20-year contract. The new company will be able to explore all lottery modalities allowed by Brazilian legislation, such as numeric lotteries, prognostics, and fixed quota betting, as well as online games.
It is expected that by December the partner company will be defined so that operations can begin in the first half of 2025. The evaluation process is being conducted by Genial Investimentos, Fundação Getúlio Vargas, and the law firm Lefosse.
The exploration of lotteries was authorized by state law enacted in December 2023. According to the law, the Bank of the State of Espírito Santo will be able to offer both physical and virtual bets.
The potential of the lottery market in Espírito Santo exceeds R$ 500 million. In Brazil, the betting sector is expected to generate R$ 130 billion in revenue in 2024. In Espírito Santo, it approaches R$ 3 billion, with an upward trend.
