Federal judge lets YG Gaming continue betting operations in Brazil

Licences & markets

A Federal District judge granted YG Gaming an interim order on 19 March allowing it to continue operating fixed-odds betting in Brazil while its administrative appeal against a licence refusal is decided. The order follows the SPA-MF’s 19 February rejection of the company’s application; YG Gaming argued it should have been allowed to provide supplementary documents.

The interim order lets YG Gaming continue operating while its appeal over the rejected authorisation remains unresolved.
