The study, conducted by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), found that the majority of the transfers were made by low-income families who receive the Bolsa Família benefit. The study also found that the transfers were more likely to be made during the weekends and evenings, when betting sites are typically more active. The FGV study is the first to examine the use of PIX by Bolsa Família beneficiaries. The findings suggest that the new payment system may be making it easier for low-income families to access gambling. This is a concern, as gambling can be addictive and can lead to financial problems. The government should consider taking steps to educate Bolsa Família beneficiaries about the risks of gambling and to make it more difficult for them to access betting sites.
