The court rejected a federal attempt to impose additional licensing requirements, securing the rights of state-regulated operators.<\/p>\n<p>The court\u2019s 6th Panel dismissed an appeal from Brazil\u2019s Attorney General\u2019s Office (AGU), which argued for federal accreditation of Loterj-licensed operators. This ruling allows Loterj operators to operate under state-issued licenses without interference from federal ordinances.<\/p>\n<h2>Federal Accreditation Requirements Suspended<\/h2>\n<p>The Ministry of Finance had previously issued ordinances requiring all betting operators to secure federal licenses by September 30, 2024. These measures aimed to centralize oversight of advertising and unregulated platforms. However, the court\u2019s decision exempted Loterj-licensed operators, provided they comply with Rio de Janeiro\u2019s regulatory framework.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling emphasized, \u201cLoterj licensees have the \u2018broad and unrestricted right\u2019 to continue operating fixed-odds online betting regardless of federal regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This decision aligns with the Supreme Federal Court\u2019s 2020 verdict, which declared federal monopolies on lottery regulation unconstitutional. That ruling empowered states to create their own systems, enabling Loterj to accredit operators under Federal Law No. 13.756\/2018.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
