Acre governor vetoes lottery amendment banning sports betting and casino-style games
Acre governor Gladson Camelí vetoed an amendment that would have barred fixed-odds betting and casino-style games within the state lottery. The veto, published on 21 January, said the proposal conflicted with Brazil’s national framework for betting and lottery services; the amendment was proposed by state deputy Eduardo Ribeiro.
The veto leaves the proposed state-level ban in place only as a rejected measure, affecting the scope of Acre’s lottery rules.
