Brazilian senator proposes restricting betting adverts and requiring licence numbers
Senator Carlos Portinho plans to propose a ban on players, celebrities and influencers appearing in betting adverts in a bill under consideration by the Senate Sports Committee. His draft would require adverts to show a legible licence number and a warning about addiction and financial harm, and generally restrict television ads to 21:00–06:00, with an event-broadcast exception; he expected to present his opinion in mid-May.
The proposal would change who can appear in betting adverts and when television advertising can run in Brazil.
