In today’s episode of iGaming Daily, SBC Media Manager Fernando Noodt is joined by SBC Noticias Brasil Business Journalist Elisa Marcante and soon to be SBC Media Manager Ana Maria Menezes. As Ana teases her upcoming role within SBC, the trio unpack Brazil’s newly approved betting tax increase, its political implications, and what the changes could mean for operators, consumers, and the future stability of the regulated market.

• How operators are reacting and what this could mean for RTPs, bonuses, and marketing spend
• The impact of new measures targeting unlicensed operators and those who advertise them
