Bookmakers without a license with Loterj or the Federal Union will not be able to display their brands in the stadium complex
|
0After prolongation for another 60 days to sign the contract with the company formed by Flamengo and Fluminense, the Government of Rio de Janeiro imposed a new condition for the Maracanã concession. The Secretary of the Civil House added a clause that imposes the need for accreditation of betting houses with the Rio de Janeiro State Lottery (Loterj) or the Federal Union to display their brands in the stadium complex.
The measure was a request of Loterj, to adapt to “compliance with applicable legislation in force in Brazil”, including tax legislation, as provided for in the notice released last year. There is a process for regulating “bets”, with 25 companies in the accreditation process with the Federal Union. Of these, 15 were admitted this week.
The deadline for the accreditation stage ends next Tuesday (20) and the company's approval or disapproval will be given by the end of the year. From January 1, 2025, only bets that comply with Brazilian legislation will be able to operate in Brazil.
Flamengo's master sponsor, Pixbet, is one of the five bookmakers that already has accreditation with Loterj, the others Apostau, Bestbet, Rio Jogo and Marjosports. Last Tuesday, the Deliberative Council approved the creation of “Flabet”, which has not yet entered the federal regularization process, but, as it is operated by Pixbet, will have permission to operate in Rio de Janeiro. p>
Fluminense has Superbet as a sponsor, a company that was the second to enter the accreditation process with the Federal Union.
In a note sent to GE, Tricolor stated that "the clause mentions the need for authorization from LOTERJ or the Federal Union. Federal regulation (ORDINANCE SPA/MF Nº 827, OF MAY 21, 2024) establishes that the adaptation period for legal entities that were active in Brazil ends on May 31 December (art. 24). It also establishes that anyone who requested authorization by August 20th will have the request analyzed by December 31st (art. 23). This may only happen on January 1/25 for those who do not have authorization. The SPA website publishes that it made the requests and Superbet is there: https:// Sigap.fazenda.gov.br/consulta-publica/lista-solicitacoes."
For Loterj, the grant is R$5 million for operations in the state of Rio de Janeiro. For the Union Federal, together with the Ministry of Finance, the grant is R$ 30 million. Loterj's license has a 5% tax rate on bookmaker profits, while in the Union it is 18%.
Red-black team remains eight points behind leader Botafogo

0Last Sunday (15), Flamengo and Vasco drew 1-1, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The result, although frustrating for the red and blacks, who dominated much of the match, kept them eight points behind leader Botafogo.
Mais Querido entered the field imposing his pace and controlling the actions for most of the game. The red-black goal was scored by Gerson, who has been standing out in recent matches. However, CRF conceded the draw in the final minutes, which prevented a more significant approach to the classification table.
Even with the difference in points for Botafogo, the technical committee, led by Tite, devised a strategy focused on keeping the team competitive until the last rounds. According to information from the Coluna do Fla portal, the objective is to arrive "alive" in the fight for the title in the final five rounds. Matheus Bachi, assistant coach, believes that the recent good performance against Bahia and Vasco could be an indication that the team is on the right track to fight for the top again.
While trying to get closer to the leaders in the Brasileirão, Mengão is already preparing for the next challenge in the Libertadores. The team will face Peñarol, at Maracanã, in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament. The Rio team is looking for a good result at home before traveling to Uruguay for the second leg next week.
