Bahia court dismisses bettor’s case against Ana Gaming Brasil
A court in Senhor do Bonfim, Bahia, dismissed a bettor’s claim against Ana Gaming Brasil seeking to void wagers, recover losses and obtain damages. The judge said the operator had demonstrated compliance with SPA requirements and that the bettor had used its responsible-gambling tools, including self-exclusion; defence lawyer Udo Seckelmann said the decision showed that liability should not be presumed from losses or a later diagnosis alone.
The ruling addresses when operators may be liable for a customer’s gambling losses and alleged failure to manage compulsive play.
