A limitação de apostas unilateral em empresas de apostas online: uma análise sob a ótica do Código de Defesa do Consumidor

Abstract

This final paper examines the general terms and conditions implicit in contracts between bettors and betting companies, investigating the legal limits of these relationships and possible violations of consumer rights. To this end, a historical and legal analysis of the betting market is carried out, tracing its origins to the current regulatory framework in Brazil, with a particular focus on the enactment of Laws No. 13,756/2018 and No. 14,790/2023. Using the deductive method and a qualitative approach based on legislative and bibliographic research, the study shows that although regulation has led to improvements in oversight and tax collection, gaps remain in the protection of bettors. Issues such as the transparency of contractual rules and the arbitrary limitation of accounts underline the need for regulatory improvements to ensure a more balanced relationship between consumers and operators in the sector.
