In as much as I agreed with you on the aspect of the government always wanting to know the in and out of their citizens, both on a financial and social level, I also see another sense in trying to protect their citizens, based on the statement I will quote below: out of the data they claim to have collected from the survey, it shows that more than 10% of the countries population have lost more than they can afford, and it's extremely affecting their economy.

Players must also be able to self-exclude and operators will inform players of the risks of addiction upon registration.
Dudena said of the regulations: “We imposed specific rules on all those agents who wanted to come and work in Brazil to know their bettors, to monitor their bettors, to impose alerts in cases of gambling abuse, to impose time restrictions and, ultimately, to create blocks for these bettors.”

Can we trust those surveys? As I said, and especially in corrupt countries, the government will do whatever it takes to push what suits them. They don't care about people, especially not about gamblers and addicts of all kinds.

So they will impose all those regulations to follow everyone... but what you don't see is that someone who decides to gamble will do it anyway, as any drug addict will take drugs no matter how illegal the drugs are. So if not in a legal and regulated place, new black markets will emerge...
I will just share it once again:

“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.”
― Tacitus, The Annals of Imperial Rome

Instead of working to educate people, to improve the lives of all people... they just impose more control. I really doubt that what they are imposing will save anyone... just as the war on drugs that has been going on for +50 years has done nothing. There's just a lot more drugs... draw your own conclusions.
