Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has released the following comment today in response to the provisional executive order imposed by the Brazilian Government to ban online betting and gaming in Brazil:

“The situation in Brazil is a reminder that sustainable growth and public trust are not optional extras, they’re fundamental to the long-term success of any regulated gambling market.

“When regulators and policymakers lose confidence that gambling is being offered responsibly, the consequence is often more than tighter regulation. The real risk is that consumers drift away from licensed operators altogether, weakening channelisation, undermining player protection, and making it harder for regulated markets to deliver on the objectives they were created to achieve.”
