SPOTLIGHT ON BRAZIL Spotlight on Brazil
For the fi rst time ever, Brazilian operators can serve local players, thus capitalizing on the country’s huge customer base and generating millions of tax revenue in the process. Roger Redfearn-Tyrzyk, Vice President Global Gaming at IDnow, takes Matt Broughton through the details.
Matt: How can the Brazilian gaming market thrive under the country’s new regulations? Roger: According to experts, gross gaming revenue from sports betting could surpass fi ve billion Brazilian reals (roughly US$875 million) by 2026. Brazilian players, meanwhile, can fi nally use regional platforms, providing local language and accessibility options unseen before. Prior to January 1 of this year, players had to either use black market platforms or international ones; neither of which were ideal for providing suffi cient consumer protections.
Matt: Which role will identity verifi cation technology with localised features (Portuguese messaging, regional document coverage – CPF, RG, CNH) play in meeting the industry’s evolving needs in Brazil? Roger: A substantial role, really. In Brazil, there are numerous kinds of paper-based documents and no standardized or centralized

ID in circulation. For Brazilians, there are three main documents accepted as certifi cates of identity: the most well-known is the CPF (Cadastro de Individuals, or “Cadastro de Individuales”), followed by the RG (Cadastro Geral, or “Cadastro Geral”) and the CNH (National Driver’s License). This variety of largely paper-based documents that differ from state-to-state, presents a challenge when trying to verify the identity of Brazilian citizens. Furthermore, there is added complexity with the RG having dozens of formats that also differ from state to state and citizens being able to hold more than one RG. Having identity verifi cation technology with localized features allows operators to cut through the complexity of handling large volumes of different ID documents with a fully automated solution that can verify the various accepted identity documents in Brazil in mere seconds, thus delivering a seamless
onboarding experience to their players.
Matt: How does a unifi ed identity verifi cation and authentication suite tailored to Brazil’s regulatory landscape enable gaming operators to simplify and streamline the integration and management of multiple identify verifi cation services, serving all compliance needs? Roger: A unifi ed identity verifi cation and authentication suite allows access to data, document and biometric verifi cation through a single integration point, ensuring a smooth and compliant onboarding process. For example, IDnow’s eIDV solution combines a number of different checks within one journey: the age check, the identity verifi cation via CPF, automated document verifi cation, facial recognition and passive liveness is paired with advanced fraud detection checks including location detection.
