Carlos Fávaro proposes ending Brazil betting licences within five years
Brazilian senator Carlos Fávaro filed a bill on 11 August that would prohibit betting nationwide and phase out existing federal authorisations within five years if enacted. The proposal would also bar new authorisations and renewals, while preserving current rules for enforcement during the transition; it excludes lottery products governed by separate legislation.
If enacted, the bill would prevent operators from renewing authorisations and require existing licences to expire within five years.
