Brazilian lower house advances betting revenue allocation to security funds
Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies approved PEC 18/2025, which would direct proceeds from fixed-odds betting and online gambling to national public security and prison funds. The proposed allocation rises from 10% of eligible proceeds in 2026–2028 to a 30% cap, after specified deductions; the measure now goes to the Senate.
If enacted, the proposal would change how betting proceeds are allocated among public funds and other institutions.
