Brazilian lawmakers ask Apple to offer regulated betting apps
Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies sent Apple a letter on 16 April asking it to make regulated betting apps available in its stores. Federal deputy Julio Lopes signed the request, arguing that access to regulated apps could help counter illegal betting and fraud; the Justice Ministry had sought explanations from Apple and Google the previous week over illegal betting apps on their platforms.
Apple’s response could affect how regulated betting operators reach users through its app stores in Brazil.
