Apple given 5 business days by Brazil over betting app safeguards

TL;DR
Brazilian consumer protection officials gave Apple five business days in July 2026 to provide more details about App Store safeguards after concerns that betting apps were accessible to minors in Brazil.

Brazilian officials gave Apple five business days in July 2026 to answer new questions about betting apps on the App Store that were allegedly accessible to minors in Brazil. The request came nearly three months after Brazilian authorities first questioned Apple on the same issue.

The case concerns App Store safeguards and whether Apple’s controls were sufficient to prevent minors from accessing betting apps in Brazil. The new request from Brazilian officials seeks additional detail from Apple rather than announcing a final enforcement outcome.

9to5Mac reported on July 15, 2026 that Brazilian officials had reopened scrutiny of Apple’s handling of betting apps available through the App Store. The report states that Apple now faces a five-business-day deadline to respond with more information about its protections for younger users.
