The affected group represents a significant portion of Brazil’s registered social benefit recipients.Platform operators must now enforce the access limitation across their networks. The Ministry of Finance coordinated the measure with licensed betting providers to ensure uniform application. Recipients remain subject to the restriction until further official updates are issued.
