The Rio de Janeiro State Lottery (Loterj) has recently announced changes in its roster of licensed sports betting operators.
Esportes Gaming Brasil, the company behind the Esportes da Sorte brand, has acquired a controlling stake in ST Soft Desenvolvimento de Programa de Computadores, which owns the Apostou.com platform.
ST Soft has been accredited by Loterj since November 2023. Following this corporate change, ST Soft has requested authorization to update its domain names to esportesdasorte.com and onabet.com, while maintaining its authorization to operate.
Loterj has conducted a thorough review of the documentation submitted by ST Soft following this corporate restructuring.
The regulatory body confirms that the company continues to meet all legal requirements, including Legal Qualification, Tax and Labor Regularity, Economic-Financial Qualification and Technical Qualification.
Additionally, ST Soft has provided the necessary certificates of suitability as mandated by the regulatory framework.
In light of these developments, Loterj has updated its list of licensed brands operating in the Rio de Janeiro market.
With this update, the list of licensed brands operating under Loterj includes the following: bestbet.com.br, betvip.com, caesarsports.com.br, esportivodasorte.com, ganharbet.com, lotolegal.com, marjosports.com.br, onabet.com, pixbet.com, pixhora.com, riojogos.com and vaidebet.com.
