Historical context (published 2024): with Octus legal support, Quinel Limited was credentialed by Brazil's Ministry of Finance as a certifying entity for betting systems, including live gaming studios and online games, under Ordinance SPA/MF No. 300/2024. Coverage at the time described Quinel among laboratories then recognised to certify in Brazil. Credential lists change; operators should verify the current SPA/MF register rather than treat this article as a live roster.
What this meant operationally
Credentialing expanded available laboratory options for operators seeking technical certification under Brazilian fixed-odds rules. Octus supported Quinel on the legal and institutional pathway required for that credentialing process. This article records a partnership milestone; it does not claim an Octus regulator relationship, ranking, award or ongoing exclusive status.
"We are glad to support clearer certification pathways for operators who must meet Brazilian technical requirements," noted Rubio Teixeira, Founder of Octus.
"Our accreditation in Brazil is an important step in serving operators that need certification aligned to local rules," stated Pietro Fiorito, Quinel's GMO.
Context
Quinel offers testing and certification services intended to align gaming systems with applicable Brazilian technical requirements. The credentialing process required meeting Ministry of Finance requirements through a technical, legal and institutional review. Certification outcomes remain the responsibility of the laboratory and the operator's compliance programme.
