Brazil sports betting secretary outlines national match-fixing policy role
Brazil’s National Secretariat of Sports Betting and Economic Development in Sports identifies combating manipulation of sports results as a core responsibility, Secretary Giovanni Rocco Neto said in an interview. He said the Treasury’s Secretariat of Prizes and Bets handles company authorisations and sector oversight, while his secretariat reviews applications for betting integrity; the Attorney General’s Office decides disputes over concessions.
Operators seeking authorisation need to account for the separate roles of Brazil’s Treasury and Sports Ministry secretariats.
