🇧🇷 Brazil fines Blaze over underage-linked ads

Brazil’s SPA has fined Blaze about US$448,000 after finding 33 ads featuring, or aimed at, minors through its partnership with influencer João Caetano, according to Estadão. ⚖️ The regulator said the operator, not the influencer, is responsible for ensuring every part of its marketing complies with betting law, responsible gambling rules and child protection standards. Why it matters: this is a clear warning to operators using creator-led campaigns in Brazil 📱🎯 If approved briefs, brand standards and live content fall short, liability sits with the licence holder. Blaze said it ended the contract once aware of the breach; the decision can be appealed within 10 days. 🌐 Source: Estadão
