Brazilian court orders Verabet to stop using a player’s identity in betting markets
Brazilian courts granted interim orders sought by four footballers to stop betting companies from using their names and images in individualised sports markets, according to reports. The orders remain open to appeal, and the merits have not been decided; one ruling bars Verabet from using a player’s identity on its platform.
The interim rulings may affect operators’ use of players’ identities in individualised betting markets in Brazil.
