Brazil's SPA creates forum for national coordination on betting and lotteries
Brazil's Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) established the SINAPO forum on 29 January to coordinate discussion between the federal government, states and the Federal District on lottery activities. The SPA will lead the forum, which is scheduled to hold four ordinary meetings each year; its discussions will not bind participants or have decision-making powers.
The forum creates a channel for federal and state authorities to coordinate lottery regulation and oversight.
