Ceará influencers reportedly continue promoting betting platforms after Brazil ban

Enforcement & compliance

At least 40 influencers in Ceará reportedly continued promoting betting platforms and virtual casinos on Instagram from 10 to 13 October, after Brazil's federal ban took effect. The Ministry of Finance said its Secretariat of Prizes and Betting monitors illegal sites and refers confirmed cases to Anatel for access blocking; social media enforcement falls to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security.

The reported promotions may expose influencers and platforms to administrative sanctions under consumer protection rules.
