Brazil – Instants could get go ahead again under new government plans
By James - Ngày 3 tháng 2023 năm XNUMX
The government is preparing a decree that would bring back the sale of instant lottery Lotex. The government wants to use the MỘT LẦN xổ số (the lottery in aid of the blind in Spain) as a model.
The sales network in Brazil, according to the new plans, would be made up by sellers with disabilities and could be used as a way to include people with disabilities in the job market. Lotex would also be available online. According to local press, the government hopes to raise as much as to R$5 billion through the new scheme per year.
Ngân hàng Phát triển Brazil (BNDES) a federal public company associated with the Ministry of Development, Industry, and Trade and the main financing agent for development in Brazil first oversaw the privatisation of CAIXA’s instant lottery arm. Public tenders for selecting the operator lasted years and were abandoned several times due to a lack of interest. After the successive presentations of Lotex to international investors the government made the first auction attempt in July 2018 but had to postpone it because of low interest.
In 2019 BNDES decided to relax the rules of the licensing process and a consortium Consórcio Estrela Instantânea formed by SGI and IGT won the bid for Lotex. It was expected to be fully operational by the end of 2020 but was delayed because of COVID-19. Liên minh cuối cùng đã rút khỏi hợp đồng vào tháng 2020 năm XNUMX thông báo rằng quyết định được đưa ra do không thiết lập được thỏa thuận phân phối với CAIXA Federal: một thỏa thuận mà cả hai công ty tin rằng là không thể thiếu đối với sự thành công của mô hình kinh doanh. Ngoài ra trong một tuyên bố chung, công ty đã trích dẫn Tòa án tối cao Brazil quyết định cho phép các bang cung cấp xổ số của riêng họ là một trong những lý do đằng sau động thái của họ.
The Spanish National Organization of the Blind commonly known as the ONCE was founded in 1938, to raise funds to provide services for the blind and people with serious visual impairment.
