Episode 14: Illegal gaming in Brazil and sizing crypto gambling
Update: 2025-08-07
Description
Right to the Source is back and Ed Birkin is on his soapbox as he takes aim at those talking up the size of Brazil’s illegal gambling market and estimates on the scale of the crypto gambling sector!
A reality check for Brazil gambling licensees
Robin Harrison tries (and fails) to stem the tide amid Ed’s diatribes in this episode, but this reality check, for Brazilian gaming licensees in particular, is important.
By constantly talking up how prevalent illegal gambling in Brazil is, the industry may be setting itself up for higher taxes, further restrictions on marketing and product, and ultimately turn the conversation into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
