However, it is not uncommon for football match manipulation schemes to emerge in connection with sports betting.This is a delicate matter and the Brazilian Ministry of Justice is working seriously to prevent this type of behavior from happening again. Throughout this text you will learn about the measures adopted to close the operation.
anti-manipulation task force
In August this year, the Ministry of Justice intensified the repression of sports betting, launching a major investigation into the manipulation of national football matches.
The government tried to have a real fine-toothed comb. To this end, in addition to TV Globo, we asked clubs in Series A and B of the Brazilian Championship, local federations and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to offer contracts with sports betting companies.
For example, São Paulo, affiliated with Sportsbet.io, a bookmaker founded in 2016, was one of the clubs that had to present documents to the authorities.
Cheating cases An investigation conducted by monitoring company Sportradar found that as of August 1 this year, more than 670 matches were affected by match fixing.
There is a lot of manipulation going on in the state championship subdivisions because these controversies don't get much exposure from the public and the press.
It is common practice to frequently monitor and analyze mail that appears suspicious to determine if it is being targeted by criminals.
In mid-2022, Farupilla midfielder Iago filed a complaint with the Gaucho Football Federation (FGF), suggesting that he could sell his team's match against Valle.
This match was played for the Campeonato Gaúcho of the Second Division. In the duel, Valle won 7-0, resulting in the elimination of the opposing team.
Iago said in a Facebook post that the game has been sold. The case was forwarded to the Civil Police and the Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Sul.
Growth of bookmakers in Brazil Despite cases of manipulation, several reliable and well-known foreign bookmakers are growing in the Brazilian market. It is important to highlight that we offer a serious and safe service. There is no shortage of options for bettors.
It is important to analyze and research the bettor before making your selection. Look for the one that offers the best features and highest chances of profit.
An example of this growth in sports betting is that all 20 teams competing in Series A of the 2022 Brazilian Championship have contracts and partnerships with sports betting companies. Television and the Internet are full of operator advertisements.
From 2018 to 2020, the gaming division's revenue increased 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 the World Cup will be held in Qatar, from November 20th to December 18th. This type of competition greatly encourages people to place more bets and encourages those who still have doubts about this practice.
