I saw headlines about this but I didn't know that 2000 gambling sites were closed down because of Brazil's new regulation. also, I saw one of our forum members posting here complaining that BC.GAME was one of the gambling sites that was restricted from operating in Brazil.
I love it when I read
this, which shows the government's seriousness in collaboration with licensed casinos/sportsbooks.
good luck to them, this is a big step.
Those are illegal sites according to them, so they will really have to close access to them as obviously they are not paying any tax to the government. But for those who are legal, they can still run, however, they will have to fully comply with the new regulations.
Perhaps there could be some groups that are happy with it, as Brazil could turn out to be another nation that will have a lot of gambling addicts. And if that happens, many Brazilians are going to have hit very hard. I mean we have heard horror stories already and as much as most of us here are gamblers, somewhat we don't what to see anyone becoming a addict and turning his life upside down.
