Caleta Gaming has solidified its position as a leader in the gaming industry, becoming the first Brazilian game development provider to achieve certification for the country’s newly regulated market. This milestone, granted by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), affirms that Caleta Gaming’s Random Number Generator (RNG), Remote Gaming Server (RGS), and select game titles meet Brazil’s stringent regulatory standards.
Certified titles include popular games such as Bingo Samba Rio, Ocean Riches, Dragon Rising, Cherry Cherry, and Carnival Beauties. Other certified hits, like Bingo Royale, Torch of Fire, and Atlantis Bingo, demonstrate the company’s dedication to delivering high-quality gaming experiences. Caleta is already progressing with a second phase, which will see 26 additional games undergoing certification.
“This achievement validates our dedication to quality and our ability to adapt to the demands of regulated markets, especially in our home country,” said Fabíola Jaeger, CEO of Caleta Gaming.
Benefits for Operators and Players
Caleta Gaming’s success paves the way for operators seeking to thrive in Brazil’s regulated gaming environment. By partnering with Caleta, licensed operators gain access to certified, locally tailored games designed to ensure seamless compliance while offering an exceptional player experience. The certification provides operators confidence in offering products that align with Brazil’s strict standards while meeting local preferences.
The certification comes at a pivotal time, as Brazil’s gaming market is poised for transformation. With the government introducing comprehensive regulations for land-based casinos, bingo halls, and other gaming activities, Caleta Gaming’s proactive approach ensures it remains at the forefront of this evolving industry.
Regulatory Delays and Advertisement Ban
While Caleta Gaming moves forward, Brazil’s Senate recently delayed a critical vote on a bill to legalize land-based casinos, bingo halls, and jogo do bicho. Initially set for December 4, the vote has been postponed, potentially until December 10, 2024, as opposition from social and religious groups continues.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s Ministry of Justice and Public Security has introduced measures to regulate gambling advertisements through Order No. 2,344/2024. This directive bans all gambling incentives, including bonuses and promotional credits, to protect vulnerable populations. Companies failing to comply face steep fines of R$50,000 per day.
Supreme Court Justice Luiz Fux also issued a ruling to accelerate regulatory measures targeting advertisements if aimed at children and social welfare beneficiaries. His decision emphasizes safeguarding these groups from the socio-economic impacts of gambling.
Expanding Brazil’s Gaming Market
Caleta Gaming’s recent certification reflects the company’s readiness to adapt to these dynamic regulatory changes. With a growing portfolio of certified games and a commitment to quality, Caleta is well-positioned to lead Brazil’s regulated gaming market, setting a benchmark for innovation and compliance.
As Brazil continues to navigate the complexities of regulation, companies like Caleta Gaming are ensuring the integrity and sustainability of this emerging industry.
