GLMS welcomes Cyprus Sports Organization as its first Sport Associate Member
The Global Lottery Monitoring System (GLMS) announced that the sports confederation of Cyprus, also co-ordinator of the Cypriot National Platform against manipulations of sports competitions, has become the first Sport Associate Member of GLMS since the launch of its updated Statutes.
As the highest sport authority in the country, Cyprus Sport Organization is a semi-governmental non-profit organization established in 1969 and its main objectives are, among others, the development of sports outside schools, the coordination of sport life in the country, the cultivation of the Olympic ideas, and the promotion of Cyprus sports on the international sport scene.
Associate membership with GLMS will support the intensive work undertaken by CSO since the last decade to fight manipulations of sports competitions in Cyprus. CSO has already collaborated with GLMS through related projects and is now looking to benefit directly from the various education, prevention and operation services that GLMS has to offer, including collaboration with the lotteries.
Commenting on this development, GLMS President, Ludovico Calvi stated, “We are delighted to welcome CSO as our first Sport associate member of GLMS since the launch of our updated Statutes. Having members such as CSO on board means enhancing the effectiveness of GLMS engagement against the phenomenon of sports competition manipulations, which since the pandemic outbreak has seen a spike in cases and a window of opportunities for criminal organizations and for fraudsters seeking to exploit weaknesses and take advantage of this moment of vulnerability of the ecosystem in the “new normal”.
Dr. Costas Solomou, National Coordinator for issues related to sports manipulations at CSO, added ‘’Cyprus has worked extremely hard over the last few years to bring a co-ordinated approach to our fight against sports manipulations, by working with all relevant stakeholders – working with GLMS and its member lotteries is another big step in this direction. The consistent and evolving work of GLMS operationally and with regard to education and prevention to protect the integrity of sports and to encourage trans-sectorial exchange is vital. We are very proud to join the growing GLMS associate family and strengthen our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of sports integrity.”

ANJL challenges Rio Grande do Sul law banning lottery advertising in court
The National Association of Gaming and Lotteries (ANJL) is challenging, in court, Law No. 16.508/2026, enacted in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which bans lottery advertising in the state.
The entity has filed a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI No. 7971) before the Federal Supreme Court (STF), arguing that the state law interferes with matters under federal jurisdiction, particularly by imposing restrictions with direct effects on broadcasting activities and on the placement of advertising in media outlets regulated at the federal level.
The central issue in the dispute goes beyond the lottery market.
The controversy primarily concerns the limits of state authority over advertising content broadcast on radio, television, and other media subject to nationwide federal regulation.
By establishing a broad advertising ban, the state law creates practical obstacles for broadcasters, media outlets, agencies, and operators acting in compliance with federal legislation, generating legal uncertainty about which messages can be transmitted, through which channels, and under what conditions.
According to the association, the state restriction also creates a significant regulatory issue: by preventing advertising from companies authorized and supervised at the federal level, the law reduces the communication capacity of the legal market without effectively addressing illegal platforms operating outside the regulatory framework and ignoring public authority restrictions.
In practice, the measure may shift the debate away from consumer protection toward a generalized restriction on communication, with direct impacts on broadcasting and on the freedom to advertise lawful products.
For ANJL, responsible advertising is an essential tool to differentiate licensed operators from illegal websites.
It is through advertising that consumers can identify regulated companies, protection mechanisms, official channels, and responsible gaming practices.
A broad ban, on the other hand, tends to create asymmetry: while legal companies lose the ability to communicate through formal and auditable channels, unlicensed operators continue using aggressive, unregulated strategies often aimed at vulnerable audiences, without any state control.
