equipo económico quiere llevar inversores al mercado brasileño y cree que el volumen de ingresos de impuestos a las loterías puede pasar rápidamente de R$6 billones a por lo menos R$12 billones en ingresos fiscales para ayudar a fortalecer el erario nacional en los próximos años, mientras las finanzas públicas se mantienen en rojo.
Sin embargo, antes de privatizar el sector de loterías, que actualmente es un monopolio de la Caixa Econômica Federal, el Gobierno ha dividido el negocio de las loterías en dos empresas que serán subastadas: Lotex (la lotería instantánea, como las tarjetas de raspar), que ya existe en Brasil; y las apuestas deportivas llamadas en el país, “SportBeting” (conocidas también como una lotería, donde por ejemplo: las predicciones para que un equipo gane una puntuación en el juego, las predicciones hechas por internet, etc.). Este último módulo todavía no ha sido creado en el país, pero el público brasileño ya participa este tipo de apuestas haciéndolas en sitios online ubicados en el extranjero.
Un informe local reporta que la Casa de Gobierno está a
punto de enviar al Congreso un proyecto de ley que permitirá la operación de la “lotería de deportes” (apuestas deportivas) y, más importante aún, que permita apostar online. Una fuente gubernamental dijo que, “el aporte fiscal de ambas compañías al estar operando plenamente más que duplicará de la recaudación fiscal federal”.
Privatization of Brazil’s lotteries would raise R$12 billion in taxes
The Lotex privatization is in the National Privatization Plan (Plano Nacional de Desestatização – PND) as part of the Caixa Nacional business structure, which is being planned for sale by the Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES).
The federal Government relies on privatization of lotteries
to double tax revenue collection from Brazilian gambling. With experienced companies in the lottery sector operating electronic games around the world, the economic team wants to bring investors to the Brazilian market and believes that the volume of revenue from taxes on lotteries can quickly jump from R$6 billion to at least R$12 billion, to help strengthen the National Treasury over the next few years while the public-sector finances remain in the red.
However, before privatizing the lottery sector, which is
currently a monopoly of the Caixa Econômica Federal, the Government has divided the lotteries business into two companies that will be auctioned: Lotex (the instant lottery, such as the scratch cards), which already exists in Brazil; and the so-called “SportBeting” (referred to as a lottery; for example, the team that will win a game and score predictions made over the internet). The latter has not yet been created in the country, but Brazilians already participate in this kind of betting using sites located overseas.
A report has found that Government House is about to send to Congress a bill that will allow the operation of sports lottery (betting) and, more importantly, that allows online betting. A government source said that “tax revenue from both companies when operating fully will more than double the federal collection.” The idea is to amend a provisional measure (MP) that was abandoned after the opinion of the Attorney General.
The Lotex privatization has already been approved by legislation and is in the national privatization Plan (PND) within the infrastructure of Caixa. The economic team hopes to launch the sale bidding process of Lotex in August, with approximately 100 days

until the auction date in November. The idea is to anticipate that term by a month, as it is not a complicated auction, and with that in place the new company would be operating by the end H1 2018.
The auction bidding of the two companies is being
prepared by BNDES. SportBeting (lottery) must be created within the infrastructure of Caixa and passed as a gambling private initiative at the beginning of 2018. The sale of Lotex
