Summary
Stellar Gaming said municipal laws restricting betting advertising in public spaces risk strengthening the illegal market. The Brazilian holding, which operates a licensed betting brand, said curbs aimed only at regulated operators could expose consumers to unlicensed platforms. Chief business officer Fellipe Fraga said the concern over responsible gambling is valid but restrictions should apply proportionally.
Why it matters
Municipal advertising bans that target only licensed operators could push consumers towards unregulated platforms, the company warned.
