ABRAJOGO questions Brazil’s betting prohibition over illegal-market growth
An opinion column on a Brazilian betting industry site said ABRAJOGO questioned Provisional Measure 1.394/2026 after the 3 November STF hearing in Brazil. The association cited LegitBet data showing weekly links to illegal betting sites rose from fewer than 81 to 618 after the measure, and argued that prohibition can remove safeguards such as age checks and self-exclusion.
The STF ruling could affect operators’ regulatory certainty and the safeguards available to users in Brazil.
