Raquel Britsister of the former BBB and reality champion David BritHe was summoned to testify to Salvador after being mentioned in the investigations that involved the spread of gambling known as “Game Tigrinho”. The young woman would have been associated with suspicious publications made on social networks, which motivated her to the police station. The case rekindles the debate on the responsibility of influencers in promoting illegal bets and how Brazilian law deals with this type of practice.

To better understand the case of the influencer and also understand the general parameter of what is happening in Brazil as regards gambling, we talked to experts who explained the risk and possible consequences.

Legal framework

According to jurists, the promotion of bad luck games configures the criminal offense, provided for by article 50 of the law of criminal contractions. But responsibility can go further.

“The influencer can respond for various crimes: Esteliona, because it deceives crimes players; the lawyer explained Carlos Fernando Maggiolo.

Felipe Guerra Camargo Mendes He adds that in more serious cases, the conduct can also be framed as a criminal association: “When the error is induced, as an easy promise of gain or omission of risk, the influencer can be held responsible for misleading and even crimes against the popular economy”.

Money laundering

Investigations investigate even if there was a capital washing. In this type of practice, the funds moved by illegal platforms are masked in financial operations to hide their origin. “These illegal bets houses do not pay taxes and send money abroad without accounting. There is an evident evasion of giant currencies in our country.”highlighted Maggiolo.

Felipe Mendes He adds that misleading advertising can act as a facade to cover irregular earnings: “The use of fictitious prizes and aggressive campaigns can be part of a financial stratification system in capital recycling”.he said.

Vulnerable audience

Another point raised by the experts is the economic and social impact of the practice. Many of these games are directed to vulnerable people, such as young people and low -income families.

“The resources lost in these games directly affect the budget of families, increase the debt and aggravate the financial health of the Brazilians”.He explained Maggiolo.

Felipe underlines that, in these cases, the responsibility of the people involved can be even greater. “The segmentation of campaigns for the low -income public aggravates civil and criminal liability and can configure the exploitation of social vulnerability”, analyzed.
