The meeting reinforced the alignment between Loterj and institutions that operate with rigorous certification and security standards, given the consolidation of the betting and gaming market in Brazil.
"The regulations we are developing are a game-changer. We are paving the way for a new, modern, transparent, and secure model, based on international best practices—but with the identity and strength of Rio de Janeiro," declared Hazenclever Lopes Cançado, president of Loterj.
"We are not just following trends: we are leading a movement, showing that it is possible to do things differently and better, with responsibility and a vision for the future."
Vice President Fabíola Esteves also highlighted the agency's strategic role: "Loterj is prepared to lead this process responsibly and transparently, contributing to the state's economic development and consumer protection."
Edgardo Riveiro praised Loterj's work and highlighted Rio de Janeiro's potential as a future global player in the sector. "We're talking about a place with enormous tourism volume. We have clients, both national and international, who are very interested in this market."
According to him, the approach adopted by the Rio de Janeiro state government is a differentiator. "Loterj could have chosen the easy way out, but it chose the right one. There's no improvisation, but rather technical management, based on the most modern and safest technology available worldwide," the executive emphasized.
The VLT regulations are expected to be finalized soon, solidifying Rio de Janeiro as a national and international benchmark in the gaming sector.
