IBJR apoia novo decreto do Governo Federal contra apostas ilegais

By Magno JoséJune 19, 2026

The brief

The Brazilian gaming industry association IBJR has publicly endorsed a new federal decree aimed at combating illegal betting operations. The endorsement reflects the sector's position that a healthy, regulated market depends on dismantling clandestine gambling infrastructure.

The backing from an established industry body signals alignment between government enforcement efforts and licensed operator interests. Both stakeholders recognise that unregulated operators undermine market integrity, consumer protection standards, and tax revenue collection.

Brazil's regulatory environment has evolved significantly, with authorities increasingly treating illegal betting as a market-integrity issue rather than a peripheral concern. Industry support for enforcement measures demonstrates that legitimate operators view stricter policing of unlicensed competitors as essential to market sustainability and their own operational legitimacy.
