Brazil's Supreme Court weighs fixed-odds betting in gambling law review

Summary

Brazil's Supreme Court is considering whether the 1941 gambling prohibition was retained by the 1988 Constitution, a review that has raised questions about fixed-odds betting, Angelo Alberoni wrote in BNLData. He argued that Law 13.756/2018, amended by Law 14.790/2023, classifies fixed-odds betting as a lottery modality and public service, not an illegal game.
