EstrelaBet has formally received its final license to conduct business in Brazil’s regulated iGaming industry, in accordance with the guidelines set forth by Law No. 14,790/2023. The approval, which was released in the Official Gazette on Tuesday, attests to the company’s compliance with all legal requirements established by the Ministry of Finance’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA-MF).

EstrelaBet has successfully finished the licensing procedure, and the regulation is scheduled to go into full effect on January 1, 2025. The business met all requirements, including the required payment of R$30 million (US$5.25 million) and the Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) certification. Operational security and safe gaming practices are guaranteed by the GLI accreditation.

João Gerçossimo, CEO of EstrelaBet, highlighted the company’s commitment to regulatory excellence. “This recognition is the result of years of work, commitment, and dialogue with regulatory authorities. We always seek to offer a safe, responsible, and innovative experience to our users,” he stated.

Commitment to Responsible Gaming

EstrelaBet has made aggressive adjustments to comply with regulatory requirements from December 2023. The business has put in place a number of strategic initiatives, such as a dedicated ombudsman to improve customer service, 24-hour phone assistance, and user re-registration using facial biometrics.

A Scientific Cooperation Agreement with FUMEC University is one of its most notable initiatives. This program employs predictive analytics to identify early indicators of problem gambling and provides free treatment to lower gambling-related hazards.

Gerçossimo highlighted the wider obligations associated with licensing. “Getting the final license is a significant step, and now is when the actual work starts. We have an obligation to actively support the growth of the regulated market, which is still in its infancy,” he stated.

EstrelaBet aims to go beyond compliance by promoting responsible gaming and fostering industry best practices. “Our commitment goes beyond regulated operations: we want to foster good practices, promote responsible gaming, and establish a constant dialogue with society and authorities to ensure entertainment in a new sector in a sustainable and safe way for everyone,” Gerçossimo added.

Recognized for its strong presence in Brazil, EstrelaBet has earned industry accolades, including ‘Best Sports Betting Operator in Brazil’ and ‘Rising Star of the Year’ at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2022. With offices in Belo Horizonte and São Paulo, the company remains a key player in Brazil’s evolving betting landscape.
