Brazil finance ministry and Anatel formalise pact to block unlicensed gambling sites
Brazil’s Finance Ministry and telecommunications agency Anatel formalised a cooperation agreement to accelerate the blocking of unlicensed gambling sites. The ministry said more than 5,200 sites had been taken offline since the programme began on 11 October. The agreement calls for a work plan setting out operational procedures and information flows.
The pact sets a faster coordination process for blocking unlicensed gambling sites ahead of Brazil’s regulated-market launch.
