LOTERJ appeals Supreme Court order restricting state-licensed betting operations
Rio de Janeiro State Lottery (LOTERJ) appealed the Federal Supreme Court’s order requiring state-licensed betting companies to stop operating outside Rio de Janeiro. The injunction also requires the companies to use geolocation to limit betting to people inside the state; LOTERJ argued the requirement could prompt refunds, lost licence income and compensation claims.
The appeal puts geolocation requirements and potential refunds, lost licence income and compensation claims at issue for LOTERJ.
