Brazilian government amendment removes limits on soccer betting adverts
A 2023 amendment introduced by Brazil’s federal government removed restrictions on when betting adverts could run during sporting events, leaving a ban on communications targeting minors. The government argued the earlier limits would constrain advertising and commercial expression; the Ministry of Justice said its aim was to protect children and adolescents. The Ministry of Finance is considering a review of the guidelines.
A possible review could change the advertising rules that betting operators must follow in Brazil.
