Brazilian regulators notify Apple and Google that age restrictions are not being properly enforced on gambling apps offered in app stores

Brazilian authorities asked Apple and Google to fix access to gambling apps on the App Store and Google Play that minors could reportedly reach.

The flagged apps included unauthorized gambling apps and copycat versions of popular slot games, with age restrictions said to be inadequate.

The case underscores how app-store age checks and content controls are directly tied to child-protection laws and regulatory risk in each country.
