This Tuesday, the 12th, the Special Commission created in the Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais (ALMG) heard a nomination for the general directorate of the Loteria Mineira.
A new meeting to vote on opinions on the nominations was called for this Wednesday, 13th.
Sabatinado, Ronan Edgard dos Santos Moreira has a degree in Law and Business Administration, with an MBA in Business Logistics.
In addition, he has worked for several companies, such as Reckitt Benkser, Colgate Palmolive and Eli Lilly. He has been at Loteria Mineira since 2011, where he held several board positions.
Loteria Mineira finances social programs
Moreira clarified that the amount collected from the Loteria Mineira is used to finance social programs.
Last year, revenue from gaming operations totaled R$24.5 million, while expenses totaled R$6.8 million.
However, the result should improve with the resumption of scratch card sales.
The exploration contract foresees total revenue of R$5 billion, with a minimum transfer of R$500 million to Loteria Mineira.
Sports betting
According to the official ALMG website, deputy Alencar da Silveira Jr. (PDT) asked questions about the possibility of bidding for the exploration of sports betting, after the approval of the regulation of this type of game by the National Congress.
This is because the parliamentarian declared that the state market must be open to as many competitors as possible.
Therefore, Ronan Moreira guaranteed to be attentive to legalizing the maximum number of online betting platforms possible in Minas Gerais.
But he considered that the regulation of these games is still being discussed in Congress. The betting regulation bill was approved in the Senate, but will return for analysis by deputies.
According to Moreira, there are around 3 thousand betting sites operating in Brazil, many of them based outside the country, without paying taxes.
