On the afternoon of this sixth fair (23), at Lottopar headquarters, the representatives of the eCogra testing and certification laboratory will participate in the ceremony for the delivery of the credential certificate. The company had only been accredited since March of this year and has since been able to work alongside lottery and sports betting operators to carry out tests and issue certificates in Paraná territory. No lottery operator receives the concession for the marketing of lottery products and betting without first presenting all the certificates from the laboratories that attest that the lottery products and systems comply with the safety standards and regulations established by Lottopar.

“Lottopar, before authorizing the marketing of lottery products and fixed-quota betting, has as a priority establishing in Paraná the best international practices of safe and responsible gaming. For this reason we open the edition to accredit laboratories of international renown that are now attesting to the quality and safety of lottery products marketed in our State”, declared the Director of Operations of Lottopar, Fabio Veiga.

Paraná was the pioneer in Brazil in carrying out the credentialing of these laboratories, thus guaranteeing that any lottery and sports betting operation only begins in the State with the presentation of two certificates required for Lottopar. This guarantees the security of the Paranaense lottery market in all stages of the process, in addition to offering a safe entertainment experience for the bettor. The laboratories receive a credential valid for one year, which can be renewed annually.

For the legal representative of the eCogra testing and certification laboratory, Udo Seckelmann, “it is an honor that we will be credentialed here in Paraná and with the rise of the betting market, so we know the importance of certifying the games, the platforms and the creation of a regulated industry. that is crescendo and that effectively has protection for the final consumer. Lottopar has some brilliant work.”

SECURITY - The certifications issued by these laboratories guarantee that lottery and sports betting services are fair, safe, free of fraud and that they meet the international quality standards required by Lottopar. These laboratories operate in the betting and gaming market and perform a function similar to the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro), which promotes tests and guarantees for quality and safety, for example, two jumps for children, safety belts, industrial equipment, thus guaranteeing that it is safe.

Or Paraná residents looking for entertainment in sports betting and lotteries can rest assured, because there are laboratories that certify that this operation is safe. To make a comparison and for the population to understand what the role of these laboratories is, we are going to paste the example of Inmetro. Where you use Inmetro it is a guarantee that the product has been tested and received a certification that it is safe. As the accredited laboratories for Lottopar it is the same thing. If a machine, equipment, game, or sports betting site has the seal of an authorized Lottopar, it is because it has a laboratory certificate that attests to the safety of the operation.
