Rio Grande do Sul restricts betting advertising as state law takes effect
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
Rio Grande do Sul's Law 16.508 took effect on 25 August, restricting fixed-odds betting advertising. It requires risk warnings covering at least 15% of advertisements and limits broadcasts to 21:00–06:00. The STF has yet to decide an ANJL application to suspend the law on constitutional grounds.
Why it matters
Betting advertisers must meet warning-size requirements and broadcast-hour limits while the STF considers an application to suspend the law.
