Gaming Associates Highlights Brazil’s Annual Betting Recertification

Brazil.– December 4, 2025 – www.zonadeazar.com Gaming Associates analyzed Brazil’s new annual recertification process for fixed-odds betting systems, underscoring its importance in ensuring technical integrity, transparency and long-term trust in the regulated market.

Overview

Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) now requires an annual recertification of all fixed-odds betting systems. This obligation ensures that operators maintain high technical, operational and security standards throughout the lifecycle of their license. In this context, Gaming Associates — an internationally accredited testing laboratory — reviewed the key steps, requirements and strategic benefits of this regulatory process.

Details / Context

  • The recertification covers all components previously approved by the regulator: player account management platforms (PAM), remote game servers (RGS), aggregation platforms and critical infrastructure modules.

  • Whenever a software provider introduces functional or security changes — such as authentication upgrades, API updates, risk-management improvements, encryption enhancements or adjustments in settlement logic — those modifications must undergo new compliance testing.

  • All certifications are valid for 12 months. Operators must complete recertification before expiration to remain compliant, with testing allowed up to 90 days in advance to prevent service interruptions.

  • The audits include extracting and validating critical server files to confirm system integrity, stability and conformity with Brazil’s regulatory framework.

Key Subtopics

Operational security & player protection

The annual recertification cycle ensures that systems remain robust and secure, increasing player trust and reinforcing the legitimacy of the regulated environment.

Regulatory transparency & ongoing compliance

Annual recertification demonstrates Brazil’s commitment to continuous oversight rather than one-time approvals — strengthening long-term market credibility.

Technical certification as a barrier to illegal markets

Frequent audits and strict technical controls make it harder for non-regulated or low-quality platforms to operate, reducing exposure to fraud, instability or manipulation.

Professionalization of Brazil’s iGaming sector

Clear recertification rules supported by accredited laboratories position Brazil as a growing and credible market capable of attracting responsible operators and international investors.

Future Outlook

The annual recertification model strengthens the foundation of responsible, transparent and stable regulation in Brazil. As the market expands, similar compliance requirements may be extended to RNG casino games, instant-win products and other iGaming verticals.

The continued emphasis on integrity and technical reliability is expected to elevate industry standards and enhance the competitiveness of licensed operators against the illegal market.
