Trisigma authorisation revoked in SPA ordinance
The Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) of the Ministry of Finance has just revoked the authorisation for the Dutch company Trisigma B.V. to operate as an independent certifying entity for the fixed-odds betting market in Brazil. The decision was published last Thursday (6 November) in the Official Gazette of the Union through Ordinance SPA/MF No. 2,684, signed by Secretary Regis Dudena. The revocation came into effect on 30 September 2025 and cancels the previous ordinance (No. 1,775/2024), which had authorised Trisigma to operate as a certifier in the country.
Background on Trisigma’s global operations
Trisigma B.V. is a Dutch company specialising in testing, auditing and certifying gaming and betting systems, with global operations in the iGaming sector. Founded in 2010, the company is headquartered in the city of Ede, in the Netherlands, and is recognised for providing technical certification services for casinos, lotteries and sports betting platforms in various regulated markets across Europe, Latin America and Asia. The company conducts compliance testing on game software, random number generators (RNG), hardware, payment systems and integrations between operators and suppliers.
When, in November 2024, Trisigma was authorised, through Ordinance SPA/MF No. 1,775, to operate as a certifier for betting systems and platforms in Brazil, it became the fifth entity accredited in the national market to validate the technology of regulated betting operators in the country. Now, with the revocation, the company can no longer act as a certifier for new processes as of 30 September. An important point to mention is that the revocation does not affect certifications already issued by Trisigma, as they remain valid and continue to be technically supported by Gaming Laboratories International LLC (GLI), in accordance with Ordinance SPA/MF No. 504/2024.
On 23 February 2025, the SPA-MF issued Ordinance No. 300/2024, which defines the criteria for recognising the “operational capacity” of certifying entities, those responsible for testing and issuing reports for betting systems, live game studios, integration with suppliers, etc. In other words, for an operator to obtain a legal licence in Brazil, the betting software, servers, integrations and studios must be certified by an entity recognised by the regulator.
Impacts for operators and suppliers
For those already licensed or in the process of licensing in Brazil, some implications must be monitored:
- Certifications already issued by Trisigma remain valid. Thus, those who have already obtained a report may continue to use it.
- As of 30 September 2025, they will no longer be able to use Trisigma as a certifier, which means they will need to seek another entity recognised by the SPA-MF.
- Software suppliers, live-casino studios and betting platforms planning to operate in Brazil should pay attention to the list of recognised certifying entities and the regulatory schedule for submitting documents and technical reports.
In 2024, the regulator published a set of ordinances defining technical obligations for payments, systems, traceability, anti-money laundering measures, the specific domain (.bet.br) for authorised betting, operator responsibility, monitoring, among others. In January 2025, the SPA published Normative Instruction No. 3, which sets out rules on the submission of technical certificates by operators, provisional or definitive, through the “SIGAP” system.
