Brazil requires 12-month betting-platform blocks for debt renegotiation beneficiaries
Brazil’s federal government established the Novo Desenrola Brasil programme through Provisional Measure 1,355, published in an extra edition of the Official Gazette on 4 May. Under the measure, people renegotiating eligible debts must agree to a 12-month block from fixed-odds betting platforms, with the Finance Ministry to set technical procedures for operators.
Licensed operators will need to prevent affected beneficiaries from registering or using their platforms during the restriction period.
