It is widely accepted that the regulation of gambling would bring significant benefits to Brazil. With the enormous potential of the iGaming sector, we would have an important source of income for areas such as health and education, among others.

In addition, the regulation of betting would allow the expansion of existing sports in the country, including lotteries. Lotteries are an important part of Brazilian culture and many people place daily bets on lottery houses.

According to the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), the regulation of intermediation companies in the lottery sector, which connect the Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF) lottery to the customer, could result in a 140% increase in lottery tax collection in the Brazil in just one year. Furthermore, if the regulation results in a sector growth of between 20% and 30%, the impact of intermediation could reach around R$ 1 billion.
