Paraná and Lottopar seek territorial limits on municipal lotteries in Brazil
Paraná and Lottopar filed a supplementary petition in Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court case ADPF 1212, seeking an injunction to restrict municipal lottery operations to each municipality’s territory. They asked the court to require technical measures blocking online participation from IP addresses outside municipal boundaries; the petition was filed on 10 October 2025.
The court’s decision could determine whether municipal lotteries may accept online participation beyond local boundaries.
