Espírito Santo consumer agency issues preventive betting-ad recommendation to Neymar and others

Espírito Santo’s CINDEC issued a preventive recommendation to Neymar Júnior and other public figures who promote gambling companies, advising them to review advertising and sponsorship agreements. The agency said the measure does not declare any specific campaign illegal or assign automatic liability to promoters. Neymar has ten working days from receipt to respond; the recommendation also advises against linking betting with wealth or success and calls for consumer and under-18 protections.
