Brazil has introduced a new license requirement for gambling apps made available on Apple’s App Store, as the country continues to tighten the rules of its regulated betting sector.
Under Brazil’s regulatory framework, any app that offers betting features in Brazil must hold a valid license from the gaming regulator, the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets, to remain available through the App Store.
The changes will apply to apps that offer fixed-odds betting and identify themselves as gambling products during the Apple age rating process.
Developers whose apps are on the App Store will have to submit a new version to start the license verification process, and the license details must be made available in the App Store Connect review documentation, along with supporting documents.
