O submundo das bets

For 80 years, Brazil banned casinos – but never managed to end gambling. The betting simply changed location: it went through the jogo do bicho (a type of illegal lottery), slot machines, capitalization bonds, and finally arrived on the cell phones of millions of Brazilians. In this video, we investigate how betting has transformed into a billion-dollar industry, who really controls the largest platforms, who are the Brazilians at the center of this market, and how influencers, lobbyists, and authorities helped build the system that exists today. ––– Creation and script - Rodrigo da Silva   / rodrigocedasilva   Presentation - Maria Clara Strambi   / mariaclarastrambi   Production - Mari Pardo   / maripardoreal   Production direction - Daniela Guaraná Editing - Gabriel Production assistance - Sofia Sá   / sa.sofias   Studio assistance - Murilo Souza Biagiotti Direction - Rodrigo Prata   / rodrigo_prata
