Brazilian Chamber committee advances bill on animal-event betting
The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies’ Sports Committee approved a bill to bring rodeo events, equestrian competitions and horse racing into the sports betting framework. The proposal also bars bets on animal-involved events where animal welfare is not ensured; it must next be considered by the Finance and Taxation and Constitution and Justice committees.
If enacted, the bill would expand eligible betting events while imposing an animal-welfare condition on operators.
