Beginning March 10, 2023, advertisers offering complex speculative financial products (Contracts for difference, financial spread betting, and synonymous products) targeting Brazil may advertise those products and services when they meet the following requirements and are certified by Google.
Brazil (Contracts for difference, financial spread betting)
Google allows ads promoting complex speculative financial products targeting Brazil, as long as the advertiser is duly licensed by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM). Other local legal requirements must also be met, including leverage caps and risk warnings.
