Lottopar asks Febraban to recognise state lottery authorisations in Brazil
Lottopar sent Febraban a letter asking it to amend a banking self-regulation notice on cancelling accounts linked to illegal betting, saying the text should also recognise existing state authorisations. The Paraná lottery authority cited federal law and court rulings on states’ powers, and said a national betting system is under development.
Lottopar’s request could affect whether banking guidance recognises existing state-authorised operators alongside illegal betting accounts.
