The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaz.rn.gov.br\/\">RN State Finance Secretariat (Sefaz)<\/a> confirms this forecast after the measure was sanctioned.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department will release the <a href=\"https:\/\/igamingbrazil.com\/en\/lottery-en-2\/2025\/12\/01\/the-state-lottery-of-rio-grande-do-norte-launches-a-new-call-for-bids-to-accredit-payment-companies\/\">call<\/a> for bids for the accreditation of exploration companies by the end of this month. According to the Secretariat, this action is based on <strong>Ordinance No. 1,306<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>State Official Gazette <\/strong>published the aforementioned decree in early December. The document outlines the conditions, procedures, and policies for operating fixed-odds betting (AQF), commonly known as bets. The state lottery will implement AQF as its first modality.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will the Rio Grande do Norte Lottery announcement be released?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Finance Department (Sefaz) did not specify an exact date for the release of the accreditation notice: <em>&#8220;there are deadlines in the ongoing process that do not depend on the department.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the Secretariat maintains its previous projection of launching the tender by the end of 2025. The government estimates it will raise R$ 25 million next year with the service in operation. The initial investment totals <strong>R$ 3 million<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The tax authority, Sefaz, stated<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;For now, we are investing in legal consulting to assist in the structuring of the lottery.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules for operating the service<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Ordinance 1,306, the State Finance Department (Sefaz) will delegate the commercial operation of lotteries to the private sector through a permit and accreditation contract. Legal entities with activities compatible with the operation of fixed-odds betting may participate individually or in consortium.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interested parties must meet the requirements of the future call for proposals. Furthermore, legislation allows the participation of a Brazilian legal entity that is a subsidiary of a foreign company headquartered in Brazil. This permission requires the presence of a Brazilian partner holding at least <strong>20% of the share capital<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decree establishes that lottery operator revenue is the primary source of income for lottery operators. The text notes that <em>&#8220;the exploration of other sources is permitted,&#8221; <\/em>subject to prior approval from the State Finance Department (Sefaz). This department is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the service.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legislation and types of betting<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government sanctioned the <strong>Rio Grande do Norte State Lottery <\/strong>(Law 12.217\/2025) in June and regulated it in September through Decree No. 34.840\/2025<strong>. The regulation established rules for accreditation, operation, and oversight of the se<\/strong>rvice. Likewise, the text defines standards for financial contributions from accredited companies via fixed and variable grants.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model follows the parameters of federal legislation and includes numerical contests, sports predictions, and fixed-odds betting. The decree provides for the offering of products through physical and digital channels. Therefore, bettors can purchase printed tickets or use online platforms.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allocation of resources and state fund<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The measure establishes the creation of a <strong>State Lottery Fund<\/strong> to receive unclaimed prize money after 90 days. Physical or virtual bets require registration only through authorized channels. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, operators cannot grant advance credits or bonuses to bettors. There are specific restrictions on the participation of athletes, sports officials, and officials linked to oversight. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Government intends to allocate part of the lottery revenue to social areas such as health, education, and security. Furthermore, <strong>the measure creates a new source of non-tax revenue<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the operation will take place under a free competition regime. The objective involves promoting player satisfaction and ensuring the quality of services offered. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Public Lottery Service of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) is expected to begin operating in the first half of 2026.
