Lottopar seeks to block unauthorised betting website across Brazil

Enforcement & compliance

Paraná lottery authority Lottopar said it began procedures to block Apostas Premium, which it said lacks authorisation to offer lotteries or fixed-odds betting in the state. Lottopar said it notified the Finance Ministry’s SPA and asked Anatel to block access nationwide, alleging the site misused its name and identity.

Operators face a stated enforcement request against a site alleged to operate without state or federal authorisation.
