[00:20] 16,000 in this type of bet. The promise was so good that the young woman The promise was so good that the young woman saw in the game—that famous "Little Tiger" game— the opportunity for easy money and a life change. But the dream life
[00:33] she hoped to achieve turned into a nightmare she never imagined. It all started in 2023 when Vitória saw famous digital influencers promoting the game. She says that the first months of
[00:48] activity on the platform seemed promising. "I started winning with R$50, then R$ 500, then R$800. Over the months, the amounts increased, from May to September, which is when I stopped playing. They kept increasing
[01:03] by R$50, R$100, until I started making bets of R$1,000, R$2,000. I would put it on the platform, but there were times when I put in R$5,000," she said. Deluded into thinking the game could

[02:48] you're gambling, sometimes you don't... If you consider yourself an addict, but even a day without gambling makes you miss it, you're an addict, so you have to be very careful. This game is a game of chance, hence the name; you will lose, there's no
[03:05] doubt about it. In this case, people lose a lot.
