Brazil considers restricting betting sponsorships in Rouanet-funded projects
Brazil’s federal government is considering rules to prevent betting companies from using projects funded under the Rouanet Law to promote their brands. Culture ministry officials are assessing whether to use a decree or legislative amendment, and said any restriction would require interministerial discussion; projects already sponsored would not be affected. A possible change could apply from the 2027 cycle.
A restriction could change how betting companies sponsor cultural projects receiving federal tax incentives in Brazil.
