TQJ 'Todos Querem Jogar' switched OpenBet off — now running IP-only
What happened. TQJ (Todos Querem Jogar / Bet do Milhão), backed by Grupo Silvio Santos, had been part of OpenBet's Brazil launch cohort. Reported in two consecutive weekly syncs (Apr 7 + Apr 14): TQJ switched OpenBet off, citing "worked poorly and caused UX issues."
Current state. TQJ is now running on IP-only as their primary geolocation. No proper geo-enforcement in a regulated market.
Why it matters. A paid OpenBet customer chose IP-only over OpenBet Locator. That's the strongest possible product-quality signal we get from the market — and it's a sales-ready data point for any Brazil operator conversation. The May 5 monthly brief confirms TQJ remains off the product.
Adjacent narrative. BandBet (the other Brazil launch client) and 200+ non-geo OpenBet platform clients are still on the platform — the threat is not OpenBet leaving Brazil, it's OpenBet bundling Locator into platform deals where the operator doesn't know what they're getting.
