The ministry of justice and public security (MJSP) in Brazil has contacted 17 betting operators requesting clarification over their plans to protect vulnerable consumers.
Through the National Consumer Secretariat (Senacon), the MJSP on Friday (1 October) requested the companies supply detailed information on advertising, bonuses and restrictions on access by minors to betting in Brazil.
Senacon has also called on the companies to explain their monitoring and blocking systems to prevent bets by minors and consumers at risk of falling into debt.
Among the 17 companies contacted are international giants Betano and Flutter Entertainment’s Betfair, as well as local brands such as BetNacional – soon to be owned by Flutter – and EstrelaBet.
