This is a delicate matter to which the Brazilian Court of Justice pays close attention, so that this type of practice does not happen again. Throughout this book, you will find information about the conditions used to stop cheating.
Anti-Bribery Task Force
In August this year, the Ministry of Justice strengthened its jurisdiction over sports betting and launched a major investigation into the manipulation of national football.
The government is trying to make real toothbrushes. To this end, he asked the clubs in Series A and B of the Brazilian Championship, local associations, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in addition to TV Globo, to demonstrate their agreement with sports betting houses.
For example, São Paulo, affiliated with Sportsbet.io – a bookmaker created in 2016 – is one of the clubs that must show their records to the authorities.
An investigation into cheating by monitoring company Sportradar found that more than 670 games had changed results as of August 1 this year.
Many changes were made in the lower divisions of the state competition as these problems were less visible to the public and media.
It is common practice to frequently monitor and analyze certain matches considered suspicious to determine if they are being shot by criminals.
In mid-2022, midfielder Iago, a Farroupilha player, presented to the Gaucho Football Federation (FGF) the possibility of selling results in his team's match against Bagé.
The match was part of the Campeonato Gaúcho of the Second Division. In the confrontation, Bagé won 7-0, eliminating the opposing team.
In a Facebook post, Iago said the game was sold out. The matter was forwarded to the Civil Police and the Public Secretariat of Rio Grande do Sul.
The growth of bookmakers in Brazil Despite compliance issues, some reliable and reputable bookmakers abroad have expanded into the Brazilian market. It is important to show that they are providing a vital and safe service. There is no shortage of options for bettors!
When making your choice, it is important to research and research the bettor in advance. Look for the one that offers the best features and greatest chances of profitability.
An example of this growth in sports betting is that in 2022 all 20 teams competing in Series A of the Brazilian Championship signed contracts and partnerships with sports betting companies. Television and the internet are flooded with advertisements from operators.
Between 2018 and 2020, the betting sector increased its revenue from R$2 billion to R$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. These types of competitions encourage people to bet more and encourage those who are skeptical of the system.
