São Paulo football federation requires referees to register for betting self-exclusion
The Federação Paulista de Futebol said it will require its registered referees to enrol in Brazil’s federal betting self-exclusion platform, following an update to its General Refereeing Regulation. The requirement follows a voluntary registration notice issued to clubs, employees and referees; the platform blocks registered users from licensed betting services, and exclusion periods range from one month to indefinite.
Registered referees must self-exclude from licensed betting services, adding a mandatory betting-access restriction.
