Brazil ministry seeks Apple and Google details on betting-app safeguards
Brazil’s Ministry of Justice and Public Security has given Apple and Google five business days to explain controls on unauthorised betting apps and minors’ access, according to the ministry. The requests form part of an administrative proceeding opened in April; the ministry said late-June monitoring found further apps on Google Play without effective age checks.
The proceeding could require app stores to explain how they screen betting apps and prevent minors’ access.
