Lula renews criticism of Brazil’s online betting sector
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva again criticised online betting during a television appearance, saying he would favour closing sites that provide no useful service but does not have sole authority to do so. Separately, two bills proposing bans on gambling advertising and sponsorship of sports and cultural events are progressing in Congress, according to the report.
The proposed bills could restrict gambling advertising and sponsorship if Congress advances them.
