Brazilian gaming operator Aposta Ganha has officially obtained its sports betting and online gaming licence for the impending new regulation.
The brand has taken its place in Brazil’s Betting Management System (Sigap) ahead of the regulation going live on January 1.
Aposta Ganha has been operating in Brazil’s grey market for the past six years but is one of the first to receive official regulatory approval from the Ministry of Finance and the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets.
Hugo Baungartner, Grupo Aposta Ganha’s chief commercial officer, said: “We're incredibly proud to announce our successful completion of our federal operating licence application laid out by the Ministry of Finance.
“The strict security criteria ensure greater consumer protection and market integrity. Our hard work has seen us join an exclusive tier of companies authorised to deliver an entertaining and 100 per cent secure gaming experience across the nation.”
