Brazilian lawyer calls for payment blocks to curb unlicensed betting
Udo Seckelmann, head of gambling and crypto at Bichara e Motta Advogados, said payment providers should block transactions linked to unlicensed betting sites and Brazil’s regulator should stop their activity. In an interview, he argued that higher taxes and restrictions on licensed operators could make it harder for smaller and medium-sized companies to compete.
The proposals concern payment controls on unlicensed sites and the regulatory costs faced by licensed operators in Brazil.
