Brazil Supreme Court suspends gambling case as justice seeks review of betting impact
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court suspended its hearing on whether operating gambling games constitutes a criminal misdemeanour after Justice Flávio Dino requested more time to review the case. Dino said the court also needed to consider possible effects on fixed-odds betting; lawyer Luiz Felipe Maia warned that including the betting law’s constitutionality could put the regulated market at risk.
The case could affect whether Brazil’s fixed-odds betting framework is considered in the court’s gambling ruling.
