Paraná and Lottopar seek STF injunction on municipal lottery limits
Paraná and Lottopar asked Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court for an interim order in ADPF 1212, according to the filing described in the report. They seek to prevent municipalities from operating lotteries beyond their boundaries, including by blocking online bets from IP addresses outside each municipality. The case awaits the court’s decision.
The requested order could impose geographic limits on municipal lottery operators and online betting access in Brazil.
