New Technologies Drive Debate and Support for Casino Legalization in Brazil
Brazil.- May 30 2025 www.zonadeazar.com With the possible legalization of land-based betting in Brazil, technology plays a strategic role, especially regarding operational security.
To ensure transparency and tax compliance, it is essential to have robust and well-structured systems that minimize risks and prevent loopholes for tax evasion, for example.
With more secure and innovative platforms, the modernization of the gaming sector also strengthens trust in online casinos, creating increasingly complete experiences for users. Practice safe gaming.
Security verification is crucial to ensure that only adults can access games, both on digital platforms and in future physical casinos.
Payment Company CEO Projects Scenario with Approval
To ensure greater transparency and security, even with the potential approval of physical casinos, cash payments should be avoided. Leonardo Baptista, CEO of Pay4Fun, which is already planning to expand into the land-based casino market, highlighted that technologies like VLTS (Video Lottery Terminals) are ready for use.
“We already have a ready, 100% functional solution. With it, you make a Pix transfer to play on the machine, and if you want to stop, the amount returns to the same account. There’s no intermediary and no physical cash involved,” he explained in an interview with Exame.
Baptista also emphasized that technology will be used to enhance security by requiring players to follow stricter rules, with more registration steps before playing.
“The user who previously only entered their CPF and made a Pix transfer to play must now go through a full registration process, submit documents, facial recognition, and proof of life,” he noted.
These measures reinforce the commitment to safety and transparency, making technology a key ally in daily operations.
Survey Shows Growth of Betting in the Country
With technological advancement and legalization under discussion by the Brazilian government, online betting has become more accessible in the country. Now, it’s enough to be of legal age, have a platform account, and access to the internet to participate.
The 2025 Pesquisa Game Brasil (PGB), recently released, revealed a scenario of consistent growth in the online betting world in Brazil. According to the data, 82.8% of respondents said they actively participate in this type of entertainment.
The popular “Jogo do Tigrinho” is currently one of the favorites, mainly due to its fast pace and simple rules—although it also requires attention, as losses can be just as quick as wins.
The survey also showed that 89.9% of participants use real money for their bets. Among them, 34.6% invest between R$51 and R$200 per month, while 8.6% spend more than R$500 monthly.
