Brazilian authorities are advancing new regulatory measures to tighten age verification standards for online gambling and other digital services as part of broader consumer protection efforts.
The proposals aim to enhance safeguards for young people and ensure that online betting platforms implement robust controls to prevent underage access.
The draft rules would require gambling websites and applications to verify users’ ages using reliable methods rather than relying on self-reported birthdates. Officials are also exploring the development of a unified age-verification system that platforms could integrate during player onboarding. The intention is to prevent minors from accessing content and services that are legally restricted to adults.
Regulators are also considering privacy protections tied to the verification process, including limits on how age-related data is stored or monitored. The push for stronger age checks reflects a growing emphasis on responsible gambling regulation in Brazil as the country’s betting market continues to evolve under new licensing and consumer protection frameworks.
