Serpro — KYC & AML

Brazilian federal public technology company developer of Sigap, the betting management system operating for the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets, and of Datavalid for digital identity validation with facial liveness.

## The public technology company behind the Brazilian regulatory framework Serpro is the Serviço Federal de Processamento de Dados, the federal public technology company linked to the Brazilian Ministry of Finance. Its role in the iGaming ecosystem is structurally different from any private B2B provider: Serpro is not a vendor competing for contracts with operators, it is the official developer of the management and supervision system that the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) itself uses to regulate the market. That institutional position makes it a mandatory counterpart for every operator authorised under Law 14,790/2023, and an optional but highly relevant provider for complementary identity validation services. ## Sigap as regulatory infrastructure for the Brazilian betting market The Sistema de Gestão de Apostas (Sigap) is the central piece of Serpro's work for the sector. Developed in modular architecture and deployed in stages, Sigap started in March 2024 with the Authorisation Module regulating the entry of new agents to the regulated market. In January 2025 the File Reception Module was added, through which operators authorised by SPA daily send detailed data on bets, online games, wallets and bettors. In April 2025 the Supervision Module entered operation with support from the Ministry of Sports via Ordinance MESP No. 31/2025. The operational figures are significant: 500 million records received per day, 77 active authorised operators, 174 brands operating, more than 1.6 million files stored in the base. The system allows maintaining a complete dossier on each authorised company and obtaining detailed access to data on bettors, prizes paid and gaming modalities. ## Datavalid as identity validation service for operators The second relevant piece of Serpro for the iGaming segment is Datavalid, a digital identity validation solution used by hundreds of Brazilian companies. An important distinction from other KYC providers: Datavalid does not deliver citizen data, but rather validates in real time registration information, identity and facial biometrics against Brazilian government databases. The update published by Serpro turned Datavalid into a robust validation ecosystem combining multiple modalities, including liveness with facial validation through techniques that ensure the real presence of the user during biometric capture and mitigate misuse of image by third parties. The solution is offered under three usage forms so the operator can integrate the piece most adequate to its flow. Datavalid is traditionally presented at SBC Summit Rio as part of onboarding for companies authorised in the regulated market. ## Positioning as a public layer over the Brazilian iGaming ecosystem The nature of Serpro as a public company gives it characteristics that differentiate it from private KYC and compliance providers in the segment. On one hand, it does not compete against Serasa Experian, ClearSale, Facephi or Incode but operates on a different institutional layer, supplying regulatory infrastructure to the State and validation services against official databases to operators that need to link registration data with the primary source. On the other hand, its product evolution is tied to SPA and Ministry of Finance priorities, which means continuous updates aligned with regulatory changes but also less commercial flexibility than a private vendor. The company is studying models for identification of risk behaviours among bettors, a relevant piece for the responsible gaming dimension that Law 14,790 also imposes. For a Brazilian iGaming operator that needs to integrate Datavalid as a complementary validation layer to other KYCs, or that requires deep understanding of the data submission flows to Sigap, Serpro is a mandatory counterpart of the regulatory framework.
