The Rio de Janeiro State Lottery (Loterj) is in dialogue with the PontoBR Information and Control Center (NIC.br). The objective is to ensure that the “bet.br” domain is used by all regulated companies in Brazil.

After meetings and exchange of letters, Loterj emphasizes that the use of the domain by authorized operators brings security to the consumer. According to the state authority, this measure ensures that companies are properly regulated in the country.

Challenges in the gaming sector

In a note, Loterj points out that the online betting sector in Brazil faces significant challenges. Since 2018, there has been a legislative vacuum that has allowed the proliferation of companies that do not comply with Brazilian legislation.

Therefore, it highlights the need to inform and educate consumers effectively. Therefore, preventing the use of “bet.br” by regulated companies violates constitutional principles, such as freedom of initiative and competition.

Furthermore, Loterj argues that such an impediment contradicts the Marco Civil da Internet. This includes Resolution CGI.br/RES/2009/003/P, which governs Internet governance in Brazil. According to the Rio entity, this action also violates the principle of network neutrality.

Therefore, according to the state lottery, it is essential to democratize the use of the domain for all regulatory bodies. This, at the risk of threatening digital equity, favoring some operators over others.

Loterj concludes that, for the benefit of consumers, the “bet.br” domain must be accessible to all regulated companies. This will ensure a fairer and more competitive digital environment.
