Brazilian government prepares age-verification decree for online gambling
Brazil’s federal government is preparing a decree requiring websites, apps and app stores to verify users’ ages for access to betting and other specified content, according to a media report. The measure is expected by the end of February, but the draft may change; platforms could not rely solely on users’ self-declared ages. The rules would include privacy protections, while implementation details and penalties remain undisclosed.
The proposed requirements could oblige gambling platforms operating in Brazil to add age checks and protect verification data.
