Brazil Supreme Court cancels conciliation hearing on social-benefit recipients’ betting accounts
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court minister Luiz Fux cancelled a conciliation hearing scheduled for 10 February on whether betting platforms should temporarily stop blocking or closing accounts held by social-benefit recipients. Fux said the session conflicted with another court sitting; no replacement date has been set. The hearing forms part of a case challenging the constitutionality of Brazil’s betting law.
The delayed hearing leaves operators awaiting further court consideration of account restrictions affecting social-benefit recipients.
