Federal court limits LOTEP betting sales to Paraíba territory
A federal court in Paraíba ordered the state lottery LOTEP to stop offering bets outside the state within five days and to introduce geolocation checks within 15 days. The 2nd Federal Court of Paraíba partially granted urgent relief sought by Via Capitalização; LOTEP said it would consider procedural steps after formal notice and noted that the decision can be appealed.
LOTEP must restrict access to its betting products geographically while the court decision remains subject to appeal.
