With the ban on betting, based on a provisional measure issued this Friday (25), the federal government will intensify the fight against platforms that remain on the air from October 6th. From that date onwards, they will be considered illegal and will have resources confiscated.
"Today there are 85 websites and around 180 legal brands. They cease to exist completely on October 5th. Any others will be blocked, we will track the resources moved and we will confiscate the money they have received", said the Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, at a press conference this Friday.
According to Durigan, inspection is already carried out by a group of employees from the Ministries of Finance and Justice, Federal Revenue, Federal Police and the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel).
This group developed tracking tools, with artificial intelligence, that locate betting sites and cross-reference the data to identify means of receipt and the destination of resources. More than 60 thousand pages have been banned since 2024.
"We are going to establish an expanded group, with the same bodies. The experience we have has resulted in important police operations", said the Minister of Justice, Wellington César Lima e Silva.
According to the minister, the government intends to propose that the exploration or operation of online betting in the country becomes a crime. Another focus is combating the use of resources from organized crime to maintain bets.
Following the ban, the confiscated resources will be allocated to public security policies.
