IBJR Advocates Transparency in Betting Licensing Processes

The Instituto Brasileiro de Jogo Responsável (IBJR) has become aware, through reports published by the media, of information regarding the imposition of confidentiality measures in authorization and licensing processes for betting operators.

The defense of transparency in licensing procedures is a fundamental principle for building a regulated, ethical, secure, and sustainable market. IBJR believes that administrative acts related to the authorization of operators must adhere to the principles of transparency, traceability, and accountability, ensuring legal certainty for all stakeholders involved.

The regulation of the sector was designed precisely to replace an informal environment with a framework based on clear rules, effective oversight, consumer protection, and the fight against criminal activity. Companies authorized by the Federal Government are subject to rigorous technical, financial, and operational requirements, as well as high standards of compliance, auditing, and anti-money laundering controls.

In this context, transparency in licensing processes strengthens the credibility of the regulatory system, safeguards the actions of the State itself, and contributes to public confidence in the regulated market.

IBJR reaffirms its commitment to the highest standards of governance and integrity and maintains that the consolidation of a responsible and regulated environment depends on clear, auditable processes that are aligned with the public interest.
