IBJR urges Brazil government to rethink Pix betting ban

Because a ban on using Pix for betting would not lower player debt, the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has urged the Brazilian government to reconsider the proposal. Government officials are worried that regulated gambling could increase financial harms for vulnerable players, especially as the legal betting market in Brazil is scheduled to open on January 1, 2025.
