Brazil requires betting platforms to exclude social-benefit recipients
Brazil’s regulated online betting platforms must exclude recipients of Bolsa Família and BPC benefits, with the implementation deadline ending on 30 November. The rules require CPF checks at registration, at the first daily login and every 15 days; identified beneficiaries’ accounts must close within three days, with prior notice and two days to withdraw balances. A media report estimated the measure could remove about 20% of platform users.
Operators must apply recurring CPF checks and close accounts linked to identified benefit recipients within the prescribed period.
