The fraud was discovered when some players realized that, by using LED flashlights, they could see the hidden results on scratch cards before even scraping off the protective paint. This raises serious questions about the safety and fairness of gambling on the island, where the population trusted the randomness of results.

Therefore, some people approached Bravanews to pressure local authorities to investigate the case, asking that police agents, Ministerio Publico and representatives of the gambling regulatory body meet to examine the extent of the fraud and identify those responsible.

And they also called for while the investigation is ongoing, sales of scratch cards be temporarily suspended. The reputation of gambling on Ilha Brava has been at stake for a long time, with many questioning the transparency and reliability of lottery systems.

Consumers who have recently purchased scratch cards are being advised to check their tickets carefully and report any suspicions to authorities. Meanwhile, the public is eagerly awaiting appropriate measures to be taken to restore confidence in local gambling.
