Brazilian committee schedules hearing on blocking illegal betting sites
Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation scheduled a public hearing for 10 December to discuss methods for blocking illegal betting sites. The hearing follows a request from deputy Fausto Pinato, who said unregulated platforms remain widely accessible and cause harm to the sector; officials from the Sports Ministry, Finance Ministry and Anatel were listed as participants.
The hearing may clarify how authorities identify and block unregulated betting platforms in Brazil.
