The report comes weeks after Brazil regulated sports betting. Details on how this will be rolled out are currently being wrangled in the country’s legislature. Commenting on the report, José Francisco Cimino Manssur, special advisor to the Executive Secretariat of the Brazilian Ministry of Finance, said the importance of regulating the market and implementing responsible gaming measures “is becoming more evident every day.”
