ANJL and IBJR seek suspension of Brazil’s provisional betting ban

Regulation

Brazil’s ANJL and IBJR requested suspension of the provisional measure banning regulated fixed-odds betting and online games, with STF judge Luiz Fux responsible for examining the requests. Paag chief executive João Fraga warned that illegal platforms lack tools to monitor risky behaviour and limit losses; a monitoring service reportedly identified 1,689 new illegal sites after the measure was signed.

Suspension proceedings could determine whether regulated operators retain responsible-gambling monitoring tools during the legal dispute.
