The new “Todos Contra o Ilegal” movement launched the website, contraoilegal.com.br, featuring a verification tool and a legislative tracking panel, aimed at helping Brazilian bettors distinguish licensed operators from clandestine platforms.
The website guides bettors through three steps: checking if the domain ends in .bet.br, checking the SPA/MF authorization ordinance and the CNPJ in the footer, and confirming the operator on the government’s official list.
One of the tools, named “Verificar,” is based on data from Instituto Locomotiva for the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR): 78% of bettors say they have difficulty knowing whether a site is legal.
The National Association of Games and Lotteries is a supporter of the initiative. “We began supporting this movement because we understand it is essential to alert the public about the unregulated market.
“Many artists are posting their videos, talking about the risks of the illegal market, talking about responsible gaming. There is already a very large adherence and it should grow even more,” said Plínio Lemos Jorge (president of ANJL).
The movement also maintains profiles on Instagram @todoscontraoilegal, with over 80 thousand followers, and on YouTube, with the participation of athletes and content creators, including former player Neto, Cafu, and Kelvin Oliveira, in videos about the risks of the unregulated market.
