Brazil Senate approves gambling advertising restrictions in Bill 2,985/2023
Brazil’s Senate approved amendments to Bill 2,985/2023 in May that would bar betting advertising during live sports broadcasts and restrict the use of current athletes and those who retired less than five years ago. The bill now goes to the Chamber of Deputies; gambling lawyer Udo Seckelmann said the proposals lack evidence-based support, while Luiz Felipe Maia and EstrelaBet executive Fellipe Fraga said existing rules are sufficient.
The bill could change where operators advertise and which people they may feature if it advances into law.
