Survey reveals the financial impact of gambling in Brazil
As Brazil readies itself for the official launch of regulated online gambling in January 2025, a recent survey by market research firm Hibou has shed light on the financial challenges faced by many Brazilian gamblers. The survey, which gathered responses from 2,839 individuals across various social classes, revealed that 10% of the population has encountered financial difficulties due to gambling.
The findings showed that 68% of respondents had engaged in gambling, with 16% of those experiencing financial problems as a consequence. Among those affected, 32% admitted to selling assets to cover their losses, 29% borrowed money from friends or family, and 25% dipped into their savings. Despite these issues, only 2% of the entire respondent group identified as being addicted to gambling, although 23% indicated that their financial problems persisted.
The survey also highlighted that 53% of participants spent more than they won, and just 48% reported having won a bet. Furthermore, 69% of players deemed online gaming the most dangerous form of gambling.
The demographic breakdown of gamblers in Brazil reveals that 47% of them are single, while 43% are married. The gender distribution was relatively balanced, and individuals over the age of 55 emerged as the most frequent bettors, comprising 27% of the respondents. The primary motivations for gambling were financial gain (66%) and entertainment (25%), with media and football serving as significant influences.
The upcoming regulated online gambling market in Brazil has seen significant interest from operators, with 113 companies applying for licences during the 90-day priority application period, which concluded on August 20. This marks a sharp increase from the six operators that had applied before the full technical regulations for online sports betting and iGaming were published earlier this month.
Earlier, Brazil officially regulated iGaming.
