Brazil’s Finance Ministry plans publication of betting authorisation files
Brazil’s Finance Ministry and the Comptroller General’s Office reversed a decision to keep betting administrative processes confidential for 100 years, Finance Minister Dario Durigan said. The government plans to publish the files after redacting personal and sensitive information, including names, tax details and bank accounts. Prizes and Betting Secretary Daniele Cardoso said authorities had warned regulated operators about advertising rules ahead of the World Cup.
Greater access to authorisation records could affect how betting companies’ applications and regulatory processes are scrutinised.
