Brazil’s attorney-general urges Supreme Court to uphold betting ban
Brazil’s attorney-general, Jorge Messias, urged the Supreme Federal Court to preserve Provisional Measure 1.394/2026, which prohibited fixed-odds betting in the country. He argued that the betting framework failed to protect public health, dignity and families sufficiently, while also saying regulation and administrative enforcement had been efficient.

The court’s consideration of the measure could determine whether fixed-odds betting remains prohibited in Brazil.
