To gamble online, it is necessary to meet several conditions, namely when opening an account and verifying identity. However, on illegal gambling sites, these guidelines are not always followed. Speaking to Jornal de Notícias, Filipe Mayer, Partner in charge of the CCA's online gaming area, comments on the behaviour of some Portuguese YouTubers who promote, on platforms such as YouTube or Twitch, underground betting, and online games sites, endangering the self-exclusion mechanism of addicted players.

"Even legal gambling has strict advertising rules. No operator can promise miraculous results or easy gains", reinforces the CCA Partner.
