(Brasília).- The registry, which will be shared with online betting companies, includes Bolsa Família beneficiaries and minors under the age of 18; the list is in the final stages of preparation at the Ministry of Finance.
The Ministry of Finance is preparing a platform that will inform betting companies of all individuals prohibited by law from placing online bets in the country. Currently in the final stages of development at the Ministry's Prize and Betting Secretariat, the List of Those Restricted from Betting will include Bolsa Família beneficiaries, minors under 18, professional athletes, and gambling addicts.
