Ecogra has received authorisation from Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA), allowing it to operate as a certifying entity for betting systems, live gaming studios and online games in Brazil. 

With this announcement, the organisation now operates in 39 online gambling jurisdictions, including Buenos Aires City and Province, Mendoza, Colombia, Brazil and most recently Peru in South America. 

Within this latest move in Brazil, operators and software developers within the federal Brazilian jurisdiction can now utilise Ecogra’s testing, inspection and certification services, to comply with the laws and regulations of the region. 

Ecogra CTO Bradley Khoury said: “We are thrilled to bring over two decades of expertise in online gambling certification to the vibrant market of Brazil. This approval from the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) of the Brazilian Ministry of Finance is not only a testament to our unwavering commitment to the highest standards of competence and quality but also marks an exciting new chapter for Ecogra.  

“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.”
