ANJL president urges Brazil to maintain pressure on illegal betting sites
Regulation · SectorWire deskSource published
Summary
ANJL president Plínio Lemos Jorge told iGaming Business that Brazil must not let its guard down against illegal betting websites, which he said could grow if regulation makes the formal market unviable. He also criticised municipal bans on advertising in public spaces, arguing that the Constitution reserves commercial advertising legislation for the federal government.
Why it matters
Operators face legal uncertainty from divergent municipal advertising bans while illegal sites remain a competitive threat to the regulated market.
