AGU seeks to exclude Caixa lotteries from proposed benefit-funds betting block

Brazil’s Attorney General’s Office (AGU) argued before the Supreme Federal Court that measures blocking Bolsa Família and BPC funds from fixed-odds betting should cover private betting platforms, not Caixa lotteries. The court had ordered the government in November to prevent those funds from being used for fixed-odds bets; the AGU said federal lotteries operate differently from private platforms.
