In other words, the creation of the Secretariat for Prizes and Bets (SPA) marks an advance in the ministerial structure, consolidating its competencies and team.
The SPA will regulate the fixed-odds betting market, including betting and online casino games. Furthermore, the municipality is responsible for lotteries and commercial promotions previously under the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance.
Therefore, this is a very relevant topic both for betting houses that want to become legal, and for the government, which wants to increase its revenue.
After all, the release of the list of the first companies authorized to explore sports betting in Brazil is scheduled for July this year.
