André Fufuca and Fernando Haddad discussed work guidelines to achieve better regulation and monitoring of the betting system.
Brazil.- The Minister of Sports, André Fufuca, met this Tuesday with his counterpart from the Ministry of Finance, Fernando Haddad. During the meeting, they discussed the management of the authorization and approval of betting houses, mechanisms to block illegal sites, and integrity in sports betting.
"To ensure the integrity of the sector, it is essential to block illegal sites that do not want to comply with the rules of the Brazilian betting market. Together we are working to regulate and monitor the system," said Minister Fufuca.
Recently, the Ministry of Sports, through the National Secretariat for Sports Betting and Economic Development of Sport (Snaede), reported irregularities on platforms where digital influencers promote betting with promises of easy winnings, without warning users about the risks.
At that time, Giovanni Rocco, Secretary of Sports Betting, warned about the economic impact of these fraudulent schemes. "These frauds hide behind social media platforms. What they do is not betting, it is a crime against the popular economy," he explained.

The meeting between both ministers made clear the interest of all branches of the Brazilian government in advancing in the blocking of illegal sites and the establishment of a transparent and better-regulated market. Since the Law 14.790 began to govern at the beginning of the year, blocking illegal sites has become one of the main challenges of the administration, with various proposals to ensure that the elimination of outlawed platforms is effective.
