Brazil’s Senate Sports Commission is scheduled to consider a bill on 12 March that would prohibit fixed-odds betting advertisements across media, according to the report. Senator Styvenson Valentim authored the proposal, which would amend Article 33 of Law No. 13,756/2018; it would go next to the Communication and Digital Law Commission if approved for further consideration.
