LCA study puts gambling at 0.46% of Brazilian household consumption
A study by LCA Consultoria Econômica says gambling accounts for 0.46% of household consumption in Brazil. It reports that the National Financial System’s default rate reached 5.2% in February 2026 and identifies credit cards and overdrafts, rather than gambling, as the main sources of household debt.
The study informs Brazil’s debate by reporting gambling’s share of household consumption and identifying other main sources of household debt.
