The recent enforcement actions in Brazil highlight the country's effort to regulate its online gambling market ahead of formal legalization. The new gambling regulator has tasked Anatel, Brazil's national telecom agency, with blocking access to 5,200 gambling domains over three separate orders since September. These sites were operating without federal licenses, violating regulatory requirements.
This proactive approach underscores Brazil’s commitment to curbing illegal operations and protecting its future regulated market. Such measures are crucial for ensuring fair competition and safeguarding players within the framework of impending regulations.
