Brazil Begins Blocking Unlicensed Online Betting Platforms
Share:
Brazil has initiated a crackdown on unlicensed online betting platforms, marking a significant step in its efforts to regulate the country’s rapidly growing gambling market. The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) began blocking access to more than 2,000 illegal operators as part of a wider regulatory effort to bring order to the sector. This move is in line with the recently implemented gambling regulations aimed at curbing addiction and protecting consumers.
The domain-blocking process started on October 11, with regulatory bodies such as the Secretariat of Evaluation, Planning, Energy, and Lottery (SECAP) and Anatel playing central roles. These measures are designed to eliminate unlicensed operators from the market and encourage players to use legally sanctioned platforms. The government’s actions also reflect growing concerns about the rise of gambling addiction, with Brazilian authorities emphasizing the importance of consumer protection in their regulatory approach.
The blocking initiative is seen as a critical step in enforcing the new regulatory framework, with additional measures expected in the coming months to ensure compliance and market integrity.
