CAIXA Loterias adds PIX prize payouts for digital bets, and Azulzinha takes over credit card processing

CAIXA Loterias has expanded payout options for bets placed through its digital channels: winners can now claim prizes via PIX, with payouts capped at R$ 2,428.80. For PSPs and payment teams, the bigger signal is that CAIXA Loterias has also switched credit card processing for digital bets to Azulzinha, replacing Mercado Pago from Monday (09).

1. Players can now redeem prizes from digital-channel bets via PIX. The prize is credited to the account linked to the PIX key entered by the bettor, as long as the amount does not exceed R$ 2,428.80.
2. The flow is simple enough: open the winning bet, choose “Resgatar Prêmio,” select “PIX” as the payout method, and enter the key to receive the funds. The request and its status can be tracked in the “Minhas Apostas” area.
3. On the acceptance side, CAIXA Loterias will now process credit card payments through Azulzinha for bets made in digital channels. Customers can use a CAIXA credit card or a card from another bank, provided it is on Elo, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
4. To place a bet, the customer selects credit card as the payment method, registers or chooses a card, checks the details, enters the security code, and confirms the transaction. After that, payment is sent to Azulzinha for processing.
5. Once confirmed, the operation status can be checked in “Minhas Compras,” and participation in the draws depends on the bet showing as “efetivada.” The Mercado Pago processing option becomes inactive from Monday (09).
