(Brasilia).- On Tuesday, 4 February, a meeting took place between André Fufuca, Minister of Sports, and Fernando Haddad, Minister of Finance, to authorise and approve online sports betting, as well as how to block illegal sites.
Minister Fufuca told local media that: "To guarantee the integrity of the sector, it is essential to block illegal sites that do not want to conform to the rules of the Brazilian betting market. Together we are working to regulate and control the system".
Recently, the Ministry of Sport, through the National Secretariat of Sports Betting and Economic Development of Sport (Snaede), denounced irregularities on platforms where digital influencers promote betting with promises of easy winnings, without warning users about the risks.
At the time, Giovanni Rocco, Secretary for Sports Betting, warned of the economic impact of these fraudulent schemes. "These scams hide behind social media platforms. What they do is not gambling, it is a crime against the popular economy," he explained.
