Illegal betting operations under attack in Brazil by IBJR's aggressive crackdown
In the vibrant and rapidly evolving landscape of Brazilian gambling, one name stands out: Bet365. The illegal online betting platform has made a significant impact on the national gambling scene, according to the Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gambling (IBJR).
IBJR, an organisation dedicated to promoting responsible gambling and combating illegal activities, is working tirelessly to shed light on the scale of the underground market to authorities. Their efforts aim to ensure a fair and safe environment for all bettors.
In a bid to improve integrity standards within the Brazilian market, IBJR continues to partner with the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). This collaboration is aimed at fostering a robust and transparent gambling industry.
Amidst the ongoing efforts to combat misinformation about the regulated sector, IBJR has launched a promotion encouraging bettors to verify the authenticity of betting sites. The promotion urges bettors to check if betting sites end with the .bet.br domain, a clear indication of government authorization under Brazil's new framework.
Despite the growing number of legal platforms, thousands of offshore and unlicensed sites remain active across Brazil, competing directly with the approved operators. However, IBJR reports that close to 80 operators have been approved by the Secretary of Prizes and Betting (SPA) under the new regulation.
As the battle against unregulated gambling continues, IBJR's efforts are instrumental in creating a safer and more transparent gambling environment in Brazil.
