Brazil Supreme Federal Court backs cross-state lottery operations and advertising
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court formed a majority on 11 September to invalidate two Sports Betting Law restrictions affecting state lotteries. The proposed outcome would allow the same company to operate lotteries in multiple states and state lotteries to advertise beyond their borders; the court’s trial was expected to conclude on 12 September.
The ruling could widen lottery operators’ eligibility for state concessions and the geographic reach of their advertising.
