Brazil is working on a mechanism with Interpol to pursue iGaming platform owners abroad

Brazilian authorities are working on a framework for cooperation with Interpol that would allow them to go after iGaming platform owners outside the country. For PSPs, acquirers, and banking partners serving Brazil-facing high-risk merchants, that is the part that matters: jurisdiction does not necessarily stop at the border.

1. According to the source, the Brazilian government is developing a mechanism for joint work with Interpol.
2. The stated goal is to pursue owners of iGaming platforms located outside Brazil, rather than limiting enforcement to domestic operators.
3. For payment companies, this is a reminder that Brazil’s high-risk exposure is not just about merchant onboarding and local compliance. If a platform is serving Brazilian traffic, the operator’s location may not be the end of the story.
