This is a simple matter and is being taken very seriously by the Brazilian Ministry of Justice, so that this type of practice does not happen again. Throughout this document you will find measures taken to prevent manipulation.
Anti-Use Task Force
In August this year, the Ministry of Justice intensified its crackdown on sports betting and launched a major investigation into the use of football matches in the country.
The government tried to make celebrities real. To this end, he requested that the teams from Series A and B of the Brazilian Championship, the local federations, the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF), except TV Globo, reveal the contracts they have with the stadiums.
For example, São Paulo, which has a partnership with Sportsbet.io – a bookmaker launched in 2016 – was one of the teams that had to present documents to the authorities.
Cases of cheating An investigation by tracking company Sportradar revealed that more than 670 matches were involved in the results up to August 1 this year.
Most of the spending is made in the lower divisions of the state league, because these conflicts are not very visible to the public and the media.
It is common practice to monitor and analyze certain games that are considered suspicious to determine whether they have been targeted by criminals.
In mid-2022, midfielder Iago, a Farroupilha player, filed a lawsuit against the Gaucho Football Federation (FGF) alleging possible manipulation of results in his team's match against Bagé.
The game was valuable in the Campeonato Gaúcho of the Second Division. In the duel, Bagé won by a score of 7-0, a result that resulted in the elimination of the opposing team.
In a Facebook post, Iago said the game was sold out. The case was forwarded to the Civil Police and the Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Sul.
The rise of bookmakers in Brazil Despite spending challenges, many trusted and well-known bookmakers are expanding into the Brazilian market. It is important to show that you provide a strong and safe service. There is no shortage of options for donors!
When choosing, it is important that you do an initial analysis and research on the bettor. Look for the one that offers the best equipment and gives you the greatest chance of profit.
An example of evolution in sports betting is that all twenty teams participating in the Brazilian League A in 2022 have agreements and partnerships with sports betting companies. Television and the Internet are full of advertisements from manufacturers.
Between 2018 and 2020, the betting sector increased its revenue from $2 billion to $7 billion. This number is expected to increase further in the coming years.
It is worth remembering that in the coming months – from November 20th to December 18th – the World Cup will be held in Qatar. This type of competition strongly encourages people to invest more and more and encourages those who are still skeptical about this practice.
