In addition to the minister, the resolution is also signed by Martha Seiller, PPI's special secretary. The act is dated June 10, 2020, but was only published this Friday (19).
By Law No. 13,756 / 2018, the mentioned lottery "consists of a betting system related to real sports-themed events, in which it is defined, at the moment of placing the bet, how much the bettor can win in case of a correct prognosis."
The text of the resolution states that the qualification of the lottery modality for privatization considers "the need to reorder the strategic position of the State in the economy, transferring activities unduly exploited by the public sector to the private sector."
Currently, the "Fixed-Quota Betting" service is administered exclusively by the Union. If president Bolsonaro decides to qualify for the PPI and the PND, a period will be opened for studies on the possibilities of privatization. The process is monitored by the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES).
According to Law No. 13,756 / 2018, the proceeds from the collection of the sports lottery are destined as follows: in physical environment (80% for payment of prizes; 0.5% for social security; 1% for educational entities; 2.5 % for FNSP; 2% for football sports entities; and 14% for expenses and maintenance coverage).
In a virtual environment, is it as follows: 89% for prize payments; 0.25% for social security; 0.75% for educational entities; 1% for FNSP; 1% for football sports entities; and 8% expenses and maintenance.
The full decree establishes:
