Rio Grande do Sul governor sends lottery bill to assembly, excluding sports betting
Rio Grande do Sul Governor Eduardo Leite sent a bill regulating the state lottery to the Legislative Assembly on 30 March. The proposal covers forecast, instant and traditional lotteries but excludes fixed-odds sports betting for further discussion; a concession tender is expected in April, with a contract signing planned for 2027 after an auction.
The bill would establish a state lottery concession while leaving sports betting outside the proposed framework for now.
