Brazilian officials notify Apple over lack of age controls in betting apps on the App Store

Brazil’s Ministry of Justice warned Apple and Google that betting apps on their stores may be accessible to minors.

Officials said some apps may lack federal authorization and could conflict with Brazil’s ECA Digital rules.

The notice increases pressure on App Store and Google Play to block underage access to gambling content.

Brazil is pushing app stores to strengthen age controls and comply with new digital child-protection requirements.
