100m daily visits at stake as Brazil trade bodies fight ban
Trade bodies ANJL & IBJR have taken the fight to Supreme Court Minister Luiz Fux.
The hit
Brazil’s previously licensed gambling operators had to pull down all websites & apps today, 6 October, according to SBC News. Visitors are reportedly now being redirected to a government placeholder page, brasilsembets.br, flagging the sites as illegal. Trade bodies ANJL & IBJR have appealed the shutdown to Supreme Court Minister Luiz Fux, arguing the redirect could disrupt customer support & refund processing.
Why it matters
For bettors, the shutdown means no access to licensed accounts. The appeal tests whether Brazil’s courts will slow a ban that’s already in force.
The record
| Ban came into force | 26 September (SBC News) |
|---|---|
| Bettor self-withdrawal deadline | 5 October (SBC News) |
| Bank & payment provider refund window | 9-14 October (SBC News) |
| Daily visits cited in trade body appeal | around 100 million (ANJL & IBJR) |
What happens next
Operators must give banks bettor account balance details on 7 & 8 October.
