Legitbet finds 221 new illegal betting sites in Brazil over Children's Day holiday
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
Legitbet, the illegal-betting monitoring platform run by the ANJL, found 221 new illegal betting sites in Brazil between Friday 9 and Monday 12 October, over the Children's Day holiday. It also spotted 1,439 suspicious links, mostly shared on Telegram, and counted 30,844 clandestine sites still active on the last day. The ANJL says the growth in illegal domains raises risks for under-18s since legal bets were prohibited under Provisional Measure 1.394, and its president Plínio Lemos Jorge called this a consequence of ending the regulated market.
Why it matters
New sites and suspicious links persist alongside active clandestine domains, highlighting illegal-betting and under-18 risks cited by the ANJL.
