Brazilian football clubs oppose possible online casino and betting restrictions
Brazilian clubs and football federations shared a manifesto on 17 September opposing a possible federal measure to ban online casino games and restrict sports betting, according to the report. The signatories warn that it could affect sponsorships and push bettors towards illegal sites; they also cite risks to clubs and existing contracts.
A proposed federal measure could affect licensed operators’ club sponsorships and the regulatory conditions for betting in Brazil.
