IBJR Speaks Out Against New Legislation

A2FBR's membership in the IBJR comes as the Brazilian government considers significant legislative changes that may impact the operations of the online gaming sector.

In June 2025, the Brazilian Senate approved new legislation introducing a range of restrictions on gambling advertisements, sparking concerns within the industry. The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has been the most vocal critic of the bill.

In a statement, the group expressed concerns that the stringent restrictions on gambling advertisements would severely limit communication between licensed operators and consumers. The IBJR argued that this could create a vacuum that would be filled by unlicensed operators, ultimately undermining efforts to direct users to safer, regulated platforms.

Brazilian soccer clubs have also spoken out against the restrictions, warning that it could lead to estimated potential losses of around $281 million.
