Brazil’s AGU asks STF to clarify restrictions on betting accounts
Brazil’s Attorney-General’s Office (AGU) asked the Supreme Federal Court to clarify orders concerning betting accounts linked to social-programme beneficiaries. The AGU said platforms cannot technically separate Bolsa Família and BPC funds from other account balances; the court’s December 2025 decisions followed restrictions aimed at preventing social-programme funds from being used for betting.
The court’s clarification could affect whether platforms restrict entire accounts or only funds linked to social programmes.
