SBC has announced a new strategic partnership with the Instituto Brasileiro de Jogo Responsável (IBJR) ahead of the SBC Summit Rio, aligning the event with one of the leading voices in setting responsible gambling standards in Brazil.

The exclusive study produced by the Instituto Esfera, in partnership with TMC, has raised a red flag for the Brazilian economy and for the future of the regulated betting market in the country.

A study cited by André Gelfi indicates that measures proposed in recent bills could benefit illegal operators and hinder the competitiveness of the regulated market.

A bill currently under review in the Chamber of Deputies proposes a 15% tax on bettors’ deposits, which could encourage migration to illegal betting operators.

The proposal returns to the Chamber of Deputies and sets out how resources would be allocated to fight organized crime; learn how the measure would work in practice.

A study commissioned by the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming and conducted by LCA Consultoria projects a 10-percentage-point increase by 2033.

Signed sponsorship deals include clauses allowing termination in extreme regulatory scenarios, such as excessive tax increases; industry considers legal action.

Even with advances in digital security, through the use of biometrics and financial traceability, the sector remains active in combating the clandestine market.

The first regulatory cycle for online betting in Brazil already shows significant progress, but also structural challenges that hinder the full consolidation of the licensed market.
