Casa de Aposta Rio Jogo (Lema) has become the fifth operator to receive a license for sports betting and iGaming from the Rio de Janeiro State Lottery (Loterj). This milestone comes as the Brazilian market anticipates the launch of regulated sports betting and iGaming sectors.
The licensing process saw Rio Jogo joining an elite group of operators, including PixBet and BestBet, that have already been accredited by Loterj. The regulatory body’s recent approval highlights the industry’s push towards securing necessary licenses before the market’s official opening. Presently, seven additional operators, such as Caesars Sportsbook and PNR Tecnologia, are navigating the accreditation process.
João Victor de Araújo Souza, CEO of Rio Jogo, expressed gratitude towards Loterj for facilitating the accreditation process in Brazil. “We believe in a regulated gaming market and its legality,” he stated. “We are aware of the responsibilities and duties assigned to us in the contract and we affirm that we are fully prepared for the success of the project.”
Rio Jogo is a new online casino that currently offers a wide range of live dealer games to its customers, including the latest titles from top suppliers such as Pragmatic Play, Ezugi, Evolution, 7Mojos and BetGames.
