The 11th hour
The highest number of applications was recorded on the final day, 20 August. As midnight approached, there was a surge in new applications. SiGMA News noted that BBET Solucoes was the 101st company to apply for a licence at 11pm. In the last hour, from 11 PM to midnight Brazil time, four more applications were submitted by G2 Negocios Digitais Ltda, Puskas Bet, Zetbet Ltda, Cash for Pay Ltda and AF Technologia e Solucoes Financeiras Ltda, was the final applicant before the midnight deadline.
Licences still up for grabs
Registration in SIGAP is mandatory for companies aiming to operate in the regulated market. The Treasury guarantees that applications submitted before 20 August will receive a response by the end of the year. Approved companies will be able to operate legally from 1 January, 2025, when all regulatory rules come into effect.
Companies applying after 20 August may begin trading in January 2025 without a federal licence in January 2025 but will face penalties, as the approval process can take several months.
According to Estad?o, around 60 companies were expected to apply prior to the process commencing. This estimate increased to 134 earlier this month. The decline from 134 to 114 is attributed to the stringent legal requirements, including a BRL 30 million ($5.5 million) subsidy, which many platforms may not be able to meet, preventing them from operating in Brazil’s regulated market.
SiGMA East Europe Summit powered by Soft2Bet, will take place in Budapest from 2-4 September 2024.
