SPA bars social interaction features on betting platforms in Brazil

Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) ruled against social interaction features on betting sites and apps in response to a consultation from Kaizen Gaming, according to the report. The proposed features included a public feed for users to share sports bets and casino activity, as well as profiles for former athletes, brand ambassadors and influencers. The SPA said such tools conflict with technical requirements for betting systems; their detection could prompt inspection and later administrative proceedings.
