Brazil online gambling regulations: rules for slots, crash, roulette and other bets
An ordinance published this Wednesday (31) classifies these types of games in the online gaming category, legalized by the betting law. Games will need to be certified and must comply with a set of standards. The Ministry of Finance published this Wednesday (31) an ordinance that defines rules for slot machines, crash games, roulette, blackjack, dice and other types of online betting. The rules authorize betting platforms based in Brazil to offer, for example, games such as Fortune Tiger and Aviator. You can follow the other ordinances in the articles published on the EGS Digital Services blog. To clarify further questions about licensing in Brazil or anywhere in the world, talk to our specialists. In addition to sports betting, this law dealt with fixed-odds online games (in which the bettor knows how much he will win based on how much he bets) and in which the result is defined randomly (like in a slot machine). Currently, Fortune Tiger and similar games are offered to Brazilian gamblers through websites based abroad. The government’s goal is that, starting January 1, 2025, when the regular online betting market begins in Brazil, they will be offered through Brazilian platforms (which will have an address ending in bet.br). The ordinance The ordinance also defines a minimum RTP of 85%. This means that, if the operator collects, for example, R$100,000 in bets, it must distribute at least R$85,000 in prizes. The remaining 15% will be the company’s profit. It defines that the result of the online game will be determined by the outcome of a random future event, from a random generator of numbers, symbols, figures or objects; It defines that online games must indicate, at the time of the bet, the multiplication factor that determines how much the bettor will receive if he or she wins; Offer the payout table, indicating all the possibilities of winnings for the bettor before the bet; It determines that the platform must clearly inform all games available for betting and what winnings the bettor can have with each one; It determines that the bettor cannot be forced to bet just by selecting a game theme. The bettor must be allowed to return to the home menu or theme selection screen without having made any bet; No bet can leave the bettor with a negative balance; The platform must show the bettor how many credits he has at any time when bets can be made; It determines that a bettor who is inactive for 30 minutes must be considered to have left the game; It prohibits the games from being offered in physical format, such as slot machines, which remain prohibited;. The text was the most anticipated by the betting sector because, according to Magnho José, president of the Instituto Jogo Legal (IJL), online games represent more than 60% of the revenue of this market. “And, depending on what was written, the sites would decide whether to obtain a license to operate in the country.” The Duties of Applications According to the ordinance, the betting application must provide some information about the online game, such as: Rules by game types The ordinance also imposes rules so that the bettor is aware of what he is competing for in multiple bet games. According to the document, “each individual bet placed must be clearly indicated so that the bettor has no doubts about which bets were made and the credits wagered on each of them”. With the regulation, each prize won must be presented to the bettor in a way that he or she clearly associates the prize with the bet that paid for it. The ordinance presents variations in rules for different types of games. They are: Online Line Games, online Crash Games, online Card Games, online Roulette Games, online Sports or Racing Games, online Dice Games and online Ball and Number Draw Games. Understand each type of bet: 🎰 Line Games According to the regulations, in this type of game, the player must receive a clear and detailed presentation of the available paylines and the winning combinations displayed on the game screen. In the case of games that allow multiple credits to be bet on selected lines, the graphic art must: for linear payouts, clearly indicate that the winnings for each selected line are multiplied by the respective multiplication factor or for non-linear payouts, inform all possible bets and their respective prizes; In addition, the multiplication factor, common in online casino-type gambling games, must be clearly displayed and the graphic art must indicate the rules and limitations of how the payouts are evaluated. Thus, the player must be informed about which winning lines are considered, that is, whether from left to right, from right to left, or both. In addition, the betting company must inform how the individual symbols are considered: whether the payouts occur with sequential or scattered combinations. 🚀 Crash Online Games This type of game is popularly known on platforms as the “rocket game” or “little plane game”, and may have other variables. In the”Aviator” model, for example, as soon as an aircraft starts flying, the prize value increases and the bettor has to decide when to stop the flight – if the word Crashed appears before then, the bet is lost. According to the regulation, the games must be random and not based on the bettor’s skill. Furthermore, according to the ordinance, the rules must indicate: the frequency of the increase in the prize multiplier value that the bettor can reach; the minimum multiplier value at which the bettor can redeem the prize; any functionality for the bettor to pre-select the prize multiplier value at which an automatic redemption will occur; The game must clearly display the value of the increasing multiplier, according to the defined frequency and must also determine to the bettor when: manual redemption by the bettor while the value of the multiplier is increasing and is above the minimum value; automatic redemption when the value of the prize multiplier increases to
