Janja urges Brazilians to block online betting platforms
Brazilian first lady Janja Lula da Silva urged people to block online betting platforms in a video posted on 10 June, while defending the government’s regulation of fixed-odds betting. She blamed previous governments for authorising the activity and cited current measures including taxation, operator rules and a national self-exclusion platform.
Public calls to block betting platforms may intensify scrutiny of Brazil’s regulation and operator safeguards.
