Brazil Supreme Court pauses games-of-chance case after review request
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court paused its review of whether operating games of chance remains a criminal misdemeanour after Justice Flávio Dino requested more time, according to reports. The case also raises questions about how the ruling could apply to online betting; two justices had voted to maintain the ban, and no resumption date has been set.
The court’s eventual ruling could clarify whether the criminal classification applies to online betting as well as other games of chance.
