Rio Grande do Sul asks Brazil's Supreme Court to uphold betting advertising law
Rio Grande do Sul has asked Brazil's Supreme Federal Court to dismiss a challenge to its law restricting sports betting advertising or, alternatively, to uphold the law. The state says the National Association of Games and Lotteries lacks standing and argues that the measure falls within state powers on consumer protection, public health and child protection.
The court's ruling could determine whether Rio Grande do Sul's restrictions on sports betting advertising remain in force.
