Unifesp study finds 10.9% of Brazilian teenagers have tried betting
A study by Brazil’s Federal University of São Paulo and the Ministry of Justice and Public Security found that 10.9% of people aged 14 to 18 had tried betting, equivalent to more than one million young people. Sports betting was the most common form, and 2.2% of those who had gambled showed signs of problematic behaviour, the report said.
The findings give regulators and operators evidence of betting participation and potential harm among minors.
