BMM Testlabs announced that it has been approved as a testing and certification laboratory for the games and lottery industry by Paraná State Lotteries, with Paraná being the first jurisdiction regulating laboratories in Brazil.
Marzia Turrini, Executive Vice President, EURSAM, explained how BMM secured this accreditation: “Paraná State Lotteries (LOTTOPAR) initiated a public call for accreditation earlier this year, inviting interested laboratories to apply for the license to serve in this jurisdiction for betting and lottery games.
“This is the first jurisdiction regulating laboratories in Brazil, which demonstrates an understanding of the importance of the testing and certification of gaming devices in the region. BMM is excited for the opportunity to serve in this Brazilian jurisdiction and would like to thank LOTTOPAR for their support during the application process.”
Paraná State Lotteries signed an accreditation agreement authorizing the gaming test lab to collaborate with lottery and fixed-odds betting operators, including sports betting, for the purpose of testing and certifying gaming products and systems. This accreditation extends to electronic games, lottery systems, gaming machines, online platforms, and other related components.
The accreditation signing ceremony on Friday, September 15, 2023, was attended by Daniel Magariños (Sales Manager for South America, BMM Testlabs), Analice Castor de Mattos (lawyer representing BMM Testlabs Spain), Daniel Romanowski (Chief Executive Officer, LOTTOPAR), Rogério Nogueira (Chief Financial Officer, LOTTOPAR), Fabio Veiga (Chief Operating Officer, LOTTOPAR), Rafael Halila (Chief Technology Officer, LOTTOPAR), Stefanny Fernandes (Chief of Staff, LOTTOPAR), and Simone Marin Israel (Operations Directorate, LOTTOPAR).
Back in June, Turrini shared with Yogonet insights on what to expect from Brazil’s nascent gaming market going forward and the role the company is ready to play there once regulated gambling becomes a reality. “BMM is ready to support Brazil’s regulated journey in gaming,” the executive said at the time.
