The National Association of Games and Lotteries, known as ANJL, has announced its support for a movement called “Todos Contra o Ilegal,” which means “Everyone Against Illegal Gambling.” The group joins the campaign to help fight illegal betting operations across Brazil.
The project focuses on teaching the public about the risks tied to unregulated betting sites. It also aims to support transparency and responsible gambling within Brazil’s licensed betting system.
Campaign Targets Illegal Betting
The campaign wants everyday bettors to learn how to spot operators that are not licensed. ANJL says the more people understand the risks of fraud on unregulated sites, the safer they will be.
Several former athletes have joined the effort. Former footballer Cafu and athlete Kelvin Oliveira are among those using their platforms to back the movement.
These public figures are sharing videos and posts online. Their goal is to warn fans about the dangers that come with using illegal betting platforms.
Consumer Protection Efforts
ANJL president Plínio Lemos Jorge explained why the group decided to support the campaign. He said informing the public about the unregulated market was a top priority.
“We started supporting this movement because we believe it is essential to alert the public about the unregulated market,” Jorge said. He added that many artists are already posting videos about the risks of illegal betting.
Jorge said participation in the campaign is already high. He expects more people to join as awareness spreads.
The idea behind the effort is simple. When industry groups, public figures and everyday consumers work together, it becomes easier to build a safer betting market.
Part of that effort involves helping people tell the difference between approved and unapproved operators. This is a key focus of the campaign’s outreach.
The “Todos Contra o Ilegal” movement has expanded well beyond in-person events. It now runs across social media, YouTube and a dedicated online portal.
The campaign has built a following of more than 50,000 people on Instagram alone. That number continues to grow as more content gets shared.
These digital platforms give people tools to check whether a betting site looks suspicious. They also explain what risks come with using an illegal operator.
The campaign covers more than just warnings. It also shares information about responsible gambling tools, including how people can protect themselves while betting.
One tool highlighted by the campaign is self-exclusion. This option lets users limit or block their own access to betting platforms if they choose to.
Brazil’s Ministry of Finance keeps an official list of brands approved to offer fixed-odds betting in the country. Consumers can check this list before they sign up.
Verifying a license through the official database can help people avoid signing up with an unapproved site. This step is one of the simplest ways to stay protected.
Brazil’s regulated betting market is still developing, and illegal operators remain a topic that regulators and players continue to discuss. The “Todos Contra o Ilegal” campaign is one more push to help consumers use protection tools and stay informed as the market grows.
