OGS Brazil 2018

"The regulation of sports betting in Brazil will serve as the basis for other games"

The sixth panel of OGS Brazil has brought a balance between market development and responsible gaming policies. Important topics for regulation were analyzed and it was also discussed how the existing market would look from now on. Marzia Turrini, Senior Vice President of New Business at BMM Test Labs, and Braulio Melo, Federal Police Delegate and Parliamentary Secretary in the Chamber of Deputies participated in the panel.

The delegate of the Federal Police and Parliamentary Secretary in the House of Representatives opened the panel with the defense of the criminalization of illegal gambling and the creation of a regulatory agency for the supervision and promotion of the market.

"The regulatory agency should be autonomous, effective and without political influence. And taxation should be compatible with other markets," said Braulio Melo.
 


Marzia Turrini, Senior Vice President of New Business at BMM Test Labs, closed the panel reminding that the exchange between Brazil and international regulatory experiences is fundamental.

For Turrini, these are like test labs: "The government needs to make sure that labs are the first step, that is, learn from regulators and talk to people who have gone through that in other jurisdictions."
 


Closing the session, Turrini cites Colombia as a possible model for Brazil in order to observe what comes from outside to create an efficient local regulation.
