It then addresses the social impacts of this practice. The research also examines the role of digital influencers in promoting these platforms, emphasizing the use of deceptive advertising, such as false displays of winnings and illusory strategies for quick enrichment. It discusses the psychological manipulation used to attract new players, as well as the influence exerted over millions of followers.Regarding the methodology applied in this monograph, the deductive method was used as the approach method. The research is also exploratory, bibliographical, and documentary in nature, based mainly on the consultation of legal doctrines, articles, integrative review and analysis of case law, legislation, and informational reports on the subject.
