eCOGRA, a globally recognized Independent Testing Laboratory, has been granted official authorization by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) to serve as a certifying body for betting systems, live gaming studios, and online games in Brazil.
This development underscores eCOGRA's ongoing expansion of its iGaming testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) services in regulated markets worldwide.
The approval in Brazil follows closely on the heels of eCOGRA's accreditation as a Certification Laboratory in Peru, demonstrating the organization's commitment to extending its footprint in South America.
With operations now spanning 39 online gambling jurisdictions, including key markets like Buenos Aires City and Province, Peru, Mendoza, Colombia, and Brazil, eCOGRA solidifies its position as a trusted authority in the iGaming industry.
Since its inception in 2003, eCOGRA has been a pioneer in online gambling certification, ensuring fairness and safety for players while delivering top-notch TIC services to industry operators and software providers. The endorsement from SPA reflects eCOGRA's sterling reputation and its dedication to upholding the highest standards of integrity and quality.
Bradley Khoury, Chief Technical Officer of eCOGRA, expressed his excitement about the milestone: "We are thrilled to leverage over two decades of expertise in online gambling certification to serve the dynamic Brazilian market.
This authorization from SPA marks a significant achievement for eCOGRA and reaffirms our commitment to excellence. We eagerly anticipate collaborating with Brazilian operators and stakeholders to foster a secure and equitable gaming environment."
Brazil's new regulatory framework aims to safeguard player interests and uphold the integrity of online gambling activities within the country.
Khoury highlighted eCOGRA's role in supporting Brazil's gaming industry growth: "Brazil presents a compelling opportunity for expansion, and we are poised to contribute to its evolution. Our objective is to ensure that Brazilian players access certified iGaming offerings, aligning with the standards upheld in other highly regulated markets."
With eCOGRA's certification services now available in Brazil, operators and software developers operating within the federal jurisdiction can undergo testing, inspection, and certification to comply with local laws and regulations.
They can rely on eCOGRA's expertise, commitment to quality, and impartiality to navigate the regulatory landscape effectively and provide players with trusted gaming experiences.
