Brazil’s SPA investigates bet365, Betnacional and KTO over World Cup advertising

Enforcement & compliance

Brazil’s Ministry of Finance opened administrative proceedings against bet365, Betnacional and KTO over betting advertisements shown during CazéTV’s 2026 FIFA World Cup broadcasts. The SPA said some adverts may have breached advertising rules, including through urgent betting prompts and hard-to-read warnings; the companies have ten working days to respond. CazéTV said it would change how it presents betting advertising.

The investigation could lead to sanctions for the operators and requires them to respond within ten working days.
