Brazil: Finance Ministry revokes Trisigma’s accreditation to certify gaming systems

The Brazilian Ministry of Finance’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) has withdrawn authorization for the Dutch company Trisigma B.V. to operate as an independent certifying entity in the country.

The decision, which took effect on September 30, 2025, was made official through Ordinance SPA/MF No. 2,684, signed by Secretary Regis Dudena and published in the Official Gazette of the Union.

The measure annuls Ordinance No. 1,775/2024, which had granted Trisigma authorization in November 2024 to certify betting systems and platforms in Brazil. With the revocation, Trisigma is no longer permitted to act as a certifier for new processes in the country.

Despite the revocation, certifications previously issued by the Dutch firm will remain valid. These certifications continue to be technically supported by Gaming Laboratories International LLC (GLI), in line with Ordinance SPA/MF No. 504/2024.

Trisigma, headquartered in Ede, the Netherlands, is a global testing and certification firm specializing in gaming and betting systems. Established in 2010, the company provides auditing and certification services for casinos, lotteries, and sports betting platforms across regulated markets in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

When the company entered the Brazilian market last year, it became the fifth entity accredited to validate technology for regulated betting operators. The SPA’s latest decision, however, removes Trisigma from that list.

The SPA clarified that the decision does not affect any certifications already granted to operators, ensuring continuity for those who have received compliance reports. However, as of September 30, 2025, operators and applicants seeking new certifications will need to turn to another SPA-recognized certifying body.
