ABERT seeks to join legal challenge to Rio Grande do Sul betting-ad rules
Brazil’s Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters (ABERT) asked the Supreme Federal Court to join a case challenging Rio Grande do Sul’s restrictions on betting and online gaming advertising, according to the report. The state law limits advertising on television, radio, streaming and video-on-demand services to 21:00–06:00 and restricts promotions at public sports and entertainment venues, subject to stated sponsorship exceptions. ABERT argues that advertising and broadcasting rules fall under federal authority.
The court’s decision could affect how betting advertising rules apply across state and federal jurisdictions.
