There was a lot of repercussion about the irregular registration of the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad (PT), on betting sites. Therefore, Lottopar published a clarification on the case in a note.
Lottopar clarifies that Pixbet is not a bookmaker in Paraná, as stated by Folhapress. This could lead to the error of interpreting that Fernando Haddad‘s data was irregularly registered on betting sites in Paraná.
On the other hand, Pixbet obtained another license and also operates in the State of Rio de Janeiro, with the domain https://pixbet.com/sports/.
The license granted to the company in Paraná does not allow it to operate outside the territory of Paraná, but the Rio de Janeiro license does not prevent, for example, a bettor in Brasília from registering with Pixbet in Rio de Janeiro.
How the regulations work for operating at Lottopar
In Paraná, Pixbet and other betting sites go through a rigorous evaluation process. This includes security testing and system integrity guarantees. They must also use a payment platform approved by Lottopar.
The Lottopar platform has several security measures. For example, they do not allow anyone under 18 to register and use geolocation to ensure that only people in Paraná can register. This helps to avoid problems such as money laundering.
About data privacy
Lottopar follows the General Data Protection Law (LGPD). The entity guarantees that they treat people’s data with care and protection.
“The platform’s data is available to authorities, including the Ministry of Justice and Public Security of the Federal Government, to compare with the information mentioned here, if they deem it necessary”, states an official note from Lottopar.
