The new round of the Genial/Quaest survey, released this Wednesday (13), showed relevant support for Desenrola 2.0, a program created by the federal government for debt renegotiation. At the same time, the survey revealed broad popular approval for restricting access to online betting platforms (bets) for beneficiaries of the initiative.
The data shows that 50% of those interviewed consider the program a good idea. Meanwhile, 22% stated that the measure partially helps those in debt. Another 23% classified the proposal negatively, while 5% did not respond.
The survey also identified strong adherence to the temporary lock for program users. In this scenario, 79% of respondents support blocking online betting for those who join Desenrola. On the other hand, 16% were against the measure.
The result reinforces the perception that part of the population associates financial renegotiation programs with protection mechanisms against new debt.
How blocking the social program will work
The Ministry of Finance has already defined rules aimed at restricting access to betting platforms for Novo Desenrola Brasil participants.
The Prizes and Betting Secretariat (SPA) published Ordinance No. 1,237 and Normative Instruction No. 3, both dated May 5, to guide fixed-odd betting operators on the blocking procedure.
According to the established rules, the restriction will be valid for 12 months from the signing of the new renegotiation contract.
In addition, operators must consult the Betting Management System (Sigap) using the users’ Individual Taxpayer Registry (CPF).
If the system identifies an active impediment, companies will need to block new registrations and suspend existing accounts.
The rules also determine the cancellation of open bets and the full refund of amounts available in the suspended user’s account.
In this case, operators must make the refund within two days after suspending the account.
Program also expands knowledge among consumers
The survey also assessed the perception of the program’s ability to reduce the debt of Brazilian families.
Among those interviewed, 38% believe that Desenrola will significantly help in getting out of debt. 27% consider that the impact will be moderate. On the other hand, 33% stated that the initiative should not produce relevant effects.
The research also showed that knowledge about the program continues to expand in the country.
Currently, 57% of respondents said they already knew Desenrola 2.0. Meanwhile, 43% said they only learned about the initiative while carrying out the research.
The federal government announced the program with the possibility of discounts of up to 90%, interest limited to 1.99% per month and authorization to use part of the Service Time Guarantee Fund (FGTS) in renegotiations.
The proposal seeks to expand payment agreements, reduce default rates and facilitate access to credit for families and students.
