Gaming testing laboratory eCOGRA has been approved to operate in Brazil.
The Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SAP) has granted the company the accreditation to certify betting systems, live gaming studios and online games in Brazil.
Bradley Khoury, chief technical officer at eCOGRA, said the approval “marks an exciting new chapter for eCOGRA,” adding: “We look forward to working closely with Brazilian operators and interested parties to ensure a safe and fair gaming environment for all players.”
“Brazil offers a dynamic and rapidly growing market, and we are excited to contribute to its development. Our goal is to ensure that Brazilian players have access to certified igaming experiences, akin to what has successfully been implemented in other highly regulated jurisdictions,” Khoury said.
Following eCOGRA’s approval in Peru in February, the company is now certified to operate in 39 online gambling jurisdictions, including the Argentine province of Buenos Aires elsewhere in Latin America.
