Summary
Legitbet, a monitoring platform maintained by the ANJL, identified 221 new illegal betting sites in Brazil over the Children's Day holiday, reported by BNLData. It also found 1,439 suspicious links, mainly on Telegram, and recorded 30,844 clandestine sites still accessible on the holiday's final day. ANJL president Plínio Lemos Jorge said the increase was a consequence of the regulated market's end.
Why it matters
The growth in illegal sites increases exposure to betting platforms for children and adolescents in Brazil, according to the ANJL president.
