Judge Rules in Favor of NSX, Now Owned by Flutter, in Biometric Dispute Regarding Betting Access Using Fingerprints
In a recent turn of events, the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories in Brazil has ruled in favour of the NSX Group, allowing the company to continue access to the Brazilian market while a legal dispute over the operation of its betting platforms, Betnacional, Mr. Jack Bet, and Pagbet, proceeds.
The lawsuit, led by an unidentified party, alleged that the platforms failed to block access by underage users, a claim supported by the Brazilian Public Ministry. The court, however, has not found any evidence to support this assertion, stating that NSX has met all regulatory requirements, including Ministry of Finance authorization and the implementation of biometric systems to verify user identity.
The NSX Group, now owned by Flutter Entertainment following a $350 million deal, operates these betting platforms. The company has emphasized its commitment to compliance with Brazilian rules and follows all Ministry of Finance ordinances. It is worth noting that the platforms have been in operation for five years, having been authorized by Brazil's Ministry of Finance.
The court's decision also instructs the plaintiffs to provide more concrete evidence, particularly around claims that biometric checks are ineffective. Additionally, the plaintiffs must justify any request for access to NSX's financial or customer information.
Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, the status of safeguards against underage access on the platforms remains unclear. It is also unknown what defense, if any, was presented by NSX or the betting platforms in response to the allegations.
It's important to note that this ruling does not provide information about any potential penalties for the platforms should they be found guilty. Furthermore, recent search results do not reveal any specific details about a lawsuit against NSX Group's betting platforms in Brazil, nor about evidence required from plaintiffs in such a lawsuit.
As the legal proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how this case will unfold. For now, Betnacional, Mr. Jack Bet, and Pagbet continue to operate in the Brazilian market.
