Caixa's Lottery Superintendent Gilson Braga said the entity will not start selling online lottery products next Thursday (24) and that a date to begin doing so has not yet been set.
This
information circulated earlier this month when Febralot (Brazilian Federation
of Lottery Entrepreneurs) announced in a note that Beto Mansur (PRB-SP)
informed the entity that Caixa would start online sales on that date.
According to Gilson Braga, Caixa is solving internal issues on the subject and
that study on what would be the best time to launch the sale of lottery
products over the internet is still being done.
The
Superintendent of Lotteries also said that the state bank still has no
definition on how will be the begining of internet sales online since the
disclosure of the date to the other details.
Asked by GMB if one of the issues would be Caixa's proposal about the
percentage of online sales that would be destined to lottery retailers, Gilson
Braga explained that Caixa did not change the offer originally made. The bank
offers a commissioning rate of 3.11%, and lottery retailers say it should be
7.11%.
Still on the lottery, Gilson Braga said that Caixa has no comment on the survey
that is being made by FEBRALOT with the retailers on the sale of lotteries on
the internet. For him, this is an internal affair of the federation and it is
not up to the Caixa’s opinión.
In the first part of the research, FEBRALOT announced that 88.4% of the more than 2700 participations, understood that the minimum adequate commision rate should be 7.11%, as the entity argues.
