BMM Testlabs Secures Minas Gerais License, Expanding iGaming and Sports Betting Certification in Brazil

BMM Testlabs, the world’s longest-established gaming test laboratory, has been officially granted approval and accreditation as a Testing and Certification Laboratory in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, significantly expanding its regulated footprint in one of Latin America’s fastest-growing gaming markets.

The authorization, issued under the state’s formal lottery regime Loteria do Estado de Minas Gerais, allows BMM Testlabs to test and certify fixed-odds iGaming and sports betting products, including online sports wagering and instant games offered through LotoMinas.bet. The approval marks another key milestone in BMM’s long-term expansion strategy across Brazil’s evolving regulatory landscape.

Strategic expansion in Brazil’s second-largest state

Minas Gerais is Brazil’s second-largest state, home to more than 21 million residents and a major economic center in the country’s southeast region. Entry into this jurisdiction positions BMM Testlabs to support regulators, operators, and suppliers as the state develops its regulated online gaming and sports betting ecosystem.

With the Minas Gerais license, BMM Testlabs is now fully authorized to test and certify regulated gaming products across five Brazilian jurisdictions, including:

• Federal-level accreditation in Brazil
• State-level accreditation in Minas Gerais
• State-level accreditation in Paraná
• State-level accreditation in Maranhão
• State-level accreditation in Rio Grande do Norte

This expanding portfolio reinforces BMM’s role as a trusted compliance partner in Brazil’s rapidly formalizing gaming sector.

Supporting regulators and sustainable market growth

Marzia Turrini, President of iGaming & Cybersecurity at BMM Testlabs, said the approval underscores the company’s commitment to supporting Brazil’s regulators and licensed suppliers with independent, high-quality testing services. “As the Brazilian market continues to evolve, regulators and suppliers require testing partners with deep technical expertise, global experience, and strong local knowledge,” Turrini said. “We are proud to support Minas Gerais with independent testing and certification services that help protect players, strengthen regulatory confidence, and enable sustainable market growth.”
