Brazilian law excludes bets on the election of Pope Francis’s successor
Brazil’s fixed-odds betting law does not permit wagers on who will succeed Pope Francis, lawyer Thiago do Amaral said. He said the law allows bets only on real sporting events and virtual games with random outcomes, and that offering or promoting unauthorised bets may bring administrative and criminal sanctions.
Operators serving Brazil must keep betting markets within the two event categories described as lawful under the legislation.
