Brazil Supreme Court accelerates review of Rio Grande do Sul betting-advertising law
Brazil Supreme Court Justice Cármen Lúcia ordered an accelerated review of a challenge to Rio Grande do Sul’s law restricting advertising by fixed-odds betting platforms. The state legislature and governor must provide information within five days, followed by submissions from the federal solicitor general and prosecutor general within three days each; a decision on interim relief remains pending.
The review could determine whether betting platforms must comply with the state’s advertising restrictions while the case proceeds.
