Brazil reports 506 illegal betting sites blocked after ban
Brazil’s justice and finance ministries said on 27 September that authorities had identified and blocked 506 sites suspected of offering illegal betting. Monitoring cited in reports recorded 428 new illegal platforms between the decree’s announcement and 27 September, while a separate count found 415 new domains and a rise in monitored unauthorised pages from 295 to 710. The decree bars fixed-odds betting and online games, with authorised operators’ sites due to become inaccessible from 6 October.
The figures show enforcement activity and growth in unauthorised sites as Brazil’s betting ban takes effect.
