Brazil sets betting blocks for Desenrola 2.0 beneficiaries
Brazil’s Finance Ministry confirmed that participants in the Desenrola 2.0 debt programme must authorise betting restrictions for 12 months, with banks sharing beneficiary data for operators to check. The system will require operators to block new accounts or suspend existing ones and return available balances within two days; operators face deadlines of 15 May for new registrations and 20 May for existing accounts.
Operators must implement customer checks, account restrictions and balance returns to comply with the programme’s requirements.
