Brazil’s Finance Ministry and Anatel block about 23,000 illegal betting sites
Brazil’s Finance Ministry and Anatel blocked about 23,000 illegal betting sites, SPA deputy secretary Daniele Cardoso said at an event in São Paulo on 30 October. The agencies use a technical cooperation agreement to block sites after identification, alongside payment restrictions; Cardoso said a centralised self-exclusion platform for users of SPA-regulated platforms is nearing launch.
The blocking effort and planned self-exclusion platform affect illegal-site access and compliance for regulated operators in Brazil.
