Brazil allows betting on more esports titles with developer permission
Brazil’s government expanded the list of games eligible for betting to include esports titles such as Counter-Strike and Valorant, according to the report’s account of a ruling published in the Official Gazette. Operators may offer odds on esports tournaments only with permission from the game developers, except where the betting firm owns the game’s intellectual property.
The rule expands the esports events eligible for betting while making developer permission a condition for operators.
