Yes, that’s right. Brazil did all that for a reason and that is because many of these online gambling platforms do not comply with the rules in the country and another reason is because many Brazilians are addicted to gambling which threatens social welfare.

So, Brazil blocked 2 thousand online gambling sites. Those are actually illegal online gambling sites because of the lack of implementation of gambling sector regulations in the country. So it is very natural for Brazil to make regulations to tighten the rules on gambling again. Brazil took this step following the increasing concerns about gambling addiction, especially among the lower and middle classes who are vulnerable to this problem. This step aims to regulate and tax gambling companies, while protecting society from the risks of gambling and other negative impacts caused by online gambling.

Brazil is preparing for a fully regulated market in January 2025, all the blockings were timed for this upcoming event. All sites that did not comply with the requirement to obtain the appropriate license by September 30 were blocked, but all players were given a grace period of 10 days so that they could withdraw their funds. Now those who were blocked will decide whether they want to operate in a country with such a regulated market, maybe not all will care about obtaining a license.
