Regulated betting operators are gaining increasing attention among Brazilians seeking new forms of digital entertainment. According to the groundbreaking study “Off the Radar: Dimensions and Socioeconomic Impact of the Illegal Betting Market in Brazil", conducted by LCA Consultores for the Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR), 78% of Brazilians find it difficult to tell legal sites apart from illegal ones.
There are several ways to identify legal 'Bets', including using apps available in official app stores.
To bet safely, it’s essential to check whether the operator holds a license from the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA), which is listed on the official registry. Legal websites end in .bet.br, require a CPF (Brazilian taxpayer ID) and facial recognition for registration, and comply with Responsible Gaming and consumer protection guidelines.
It is also recommended to review the brand’s reputation on platforms like 'Reclame AQUI', checking ratings and any trust seals such as “RA 1000.”
Another factor consumers can check is the availability of mobile apps from the 'Bets'. In order to be published on official stores like Google Play, apps must meet a range of requirements, including having a definitive license granted by SPA and complying with Google’s development policies.
EstrelaBet was one of the first operators to launch its Android app. It features all the platform's functionality in one intuitive interface. With a single account, users can access thousands of sporting events, casino games, and even live sports streaming. Support is available 24/7 via phone, email, social media, and integrated chat.
“The app reflects our company’s vision. Technological advancement must go hand in hand with responsibility. Our goal is to build a trustworthy, respectful, and safe entertainment environment every day,” says João Gerçossimo, CEO of EstrelaBet.
