Letícia Ferraz

- Thank you. Thank you. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon, Mr. Deputy. It's a pleasure and a honor for LabSU to be here. I really thank you for this opportunity, because we work with knowledge, with data, with information, and it's in this sense that we will bring our contribution today. Even if some data depend on other research, not only our laboratory, our idea is to present, not only for the senhor, but for all those who are watching, some considerations, both of the legal market, to compare it to the illegal market, and in this way, we can bring proposals that we can alter, this field of illegal market. Just to present, LabSul is a civil association without a lucrative part of the area that works with technical production and studies and knowledge. And in this sense, our proposal is to be here today. Oh, dear. Thank you. . and I bring to the knowledge of the current bets of online games in the world. We have $574 billion in the global market. The projected for 2026 is of $600 billion. Here in Brazil, we have another reality: the fact of the tax rate I can't see it here. $37 billion, which is a recapture of taxes - Thank you. a taxing of income of 9,9 billion. And this taxing is transformed into public policies, public services that the government with this taxing can offer. So, the legal market has a link to the destination. this arrecada, that goes to sports, that goes to health, that goes to education and tourism. So, these are $9 billion that the legal market contributed. These are official data from the Ministry of Affairs and the SPA that made a report. In Brazil, we have, in 2018, as you already know, a authorization of of the legal market, the online market. And in 2023 we had the law 14790, which brought the directives. And from that, it was then that began the regulation and the regulation. which is a highly regulated market, a market that has protection to the consumer, that has a responsible game, and that has a compliance to be applied to this market. So, we have extensive protection tools, including the prohibition of men to play, facial, for identification of the player, monitoring of risk behavior, tools of auto-exclusion, sportive integrity and rules that limit the public. So, there is no doubt that the responsible and compliance are applied to the legal market. The operators are monitored and fiscalized by the SPA. we have no doubt that it exists. Thank you. And You can pass it to me. Password. So, what happens in the current scenario of the illegal market? 25.000 sites were blocked, in the year 2024-2025, we had a movement of 26 to 40 billion dollars in illegal market, which would represent 7 to 10 billion dollars in arrecada, which could be transformed into public policies. This is the current scenario of illegal market in data, which should be combat. And... This illegal market, in a way, is residual. It is a parallel market, which is completely outside the law, has no regulation and fiscalization, and therefore, it has so many consequences. The piratation, which is known for products, in the case of fraud, orion of the crime, orion of crimes, in the market of apostasy, in the ecosystem of apostasy, it's a illegal market. And this is the combat we have to do. and by completely ferring the fundamental rights, we are working on this issue. The illegal market retires any possibility of protection from the consumer, which is seen here as an apostasy, and this can't happen. The illegal labor, working with human rights, believes that there should be a big change for the illegal market to be completely combat. It's... as numbers that the deputy was asking. The data we have was from a research from the Instituto Locomotiva, where 51% of the bets in Brazil are illegal in the market. So, it's a data of a research, a really recognized institution, and of course, it can be bigger, but it oscillates in this sense. This same research brings a data that 78% of people who already posted, say that they have been in legal platforms. So this data for us is alarmant, because they are not protected from any way. What does it mean? The illegal market means fraud, protection of data, no one. So, LGBT is a question that is not in the illegal market. Protection against compulsory behavior also does not exist, which can cause the problematic game. The public arrecada is null. We saw in the data that I mentioned earlier, we are losing from 7 to 10 billion billion an annuals that could be transformed into public policies. And the main thing for us is the issue of organized crime. The legal market represents a action of the organized crime, or, it is a structure that financia the crime, besides the drug use, besides the drug use, the fraud, especially the money use. So we don't have any doubt that, when fighting the illegal market, the public security will be very much improved. What we've found in our research and researches that we've been working on, over the last year? The main factors are: the digital influencers, that end up getting a great public to the illegal market. These influencers are mainly local and regional influencers. They fraud, in fact, a post that would bring a profit and we know that this is a combination. of the supplier with the influencer, they believe in what the influencer is saying and start posting. And the influencer, obviously, is not indicating a legal platform, he is indicating a legal platform. Another problem we can see is the FinTechs. The way they have to get a move of bankers is through FinTechs and the PIX. The PIX in direct, in the case, because the bank central has control, but the PIX in direct is a failure that needs to be corrected. in a operation of the Federal Police, which generated 5100 prisons. They used to manipulate games to finance the organized crime. Last week, here in DF, in all the main vehicles of communication, there was a news of a Juma fraud, that used irregular apostas for lavage of money. You must have heard that in the vehicle that a frontista had 15 apostas companies of irregular apostas, and this movement was millions and made it possible to use the money. So, we don't have any doubt that the organized crime is being financed by the illegal market of apostas online. As regulatory measures that the deputado would like to talk about in specific, in a first moment, we believe that a competitive environment, with a fair and balanced tributation, will make the bets continue here in our market. We also have the PL 4044, which is a great PL, which we would like to be avanced, approved, because it really is a legal mark of a legal market. So, we would like to ask the PL 4044. He has two committees to be able to do it. I believe that if you could participate in this debate, it will be a special mark for the combat of crime online. I would also like to thank the PEC, which was approved here for you, and that will make a difference, because with the obligatory destination of all the to the police and security fund, will bring effect. And these are the laws that we need. And also the issue of B2B. Or, the providers of technology and platforms need to pass by autonomous licenses and with responsibility, with the SPA. That is what the SPA is doing now, through this public consultation. But I believe that the most important thing is that we are bringing here some considerations of what we really hope that this Commission can act, so that the legal market is It's a efficient fiscalization. So, the SPA and many other organizations need to do this, both the legal market, to know if companies are acting correctly, and we know that they are because the regulation is quite effective. but mainly to fight the illegal. The act of the central bank, and I believe that the office of the nobre deputado will be very important, because the central bank needs to work with the operators. The act of COAF, which would be very interesting to be involved in this discussion, because their intelligence reports will be fundamental to that the federal police can act in combat and do operations against the illegal market and consequently against the organized crime. is structured with this money. the budget for the budget to be both SPA and the federal police can work more effectively. I believe that there is a part of the government, obviously, but also here, the Congress, with the budgetary planning, to bring structure to SPA and other organizations, because they have to carry out technology, more employees, more servidores. and competitive market. And finally, our idea to bring to you, is to have a PL exiging a "selo distinctivo", or that the companies of the legal market have a "selo" to be able to be visualized by the public, by being of the legal market. Because today, the Institute Sfera brings us a data that 78% of people, they also a legal operator and a legal operator. So, to bring this knowledge would be extremely necessary. And finally, education and the awareness of the population. I believe that the civil society, with the government, with the parliament, can bring awareness of people to be able to differentiate the legal and illegal market, and have knowledge of the nocividad of the illegal market. So, we will be at the disposal, we have several studies that I will make here for Sarah, and that we will send for... email, that has several data, several initiatives that we believe that can be taken regulatory, to help in the fight against the illegal market. Thank you, Senator. Well, Letícia, thank you very much.
