Brazil SPA opposes proposed betting advertising ban, citing illegal-market risks
Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) opposed Bill 3563/2024, which would ban betting advertising and sponsorship, deputy secretary Daniele Correa Cardoso said. She argued that restricting licensed operators’ communications could make it harder for consumers to distinguish them from illegal companies; the SPA also reported that more than 25,000 illegal betting sites had been blocked with Anatel.
The bill could change how licensed operators communicate with consumers and how the SPA approaches illegal betting advertising.
