LOTERJ maintains national-operation case as Brazil court limits licensees to Rio
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court upheld a preliminary injunction restricting LOTERJ licensees to operating within Rio de Janeiro, and required them to use geolocation tracking. LOTERJ president Hazenclever Lopes Cançado said the lottery body remained committed to its view that licensees should be allowed to operate nationally, and expressed confidence the court would rule in its favour after fuller consideration.
The court’s interim restrictions constrain the geographic reach of LOTERJ’s licensed betting operators while the case continues.
