Brazilian betting operators must block Desenrola beneficiaries’ accounts
Brazilian betting operators must identify and block accounts linked to Novo Desenrola Brasil, including existing accounts, under new regulatory guidelines reported on 21 May. The restriction lasts 12 months from debt renegotiation; operators must cancel open bets and refund available balances. The account review deadline was 20 May, and operators must report blocked users’ CPF numbers to SIGAP within 15 days of the data-model update.
Operators must apply account restrictions and handle affected balances and open bets under the programme’s rules.
