The age group with the highest prevalence of betting was those aged between 31 and 40, accounting for 27.8% of the total number of bettors.

The launch of the online market in Brazil was accompanied by strict regulations, ensuring a safe and secure environment for all participants. However, no information was provided about any changes in the number of bettors or the gender distribution over time.
