SINDIBETS-SP urges evidence-based debate after more than 5 mil jobs lost
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
SINDIBETS-SP welcomed the approval of ending the 6×1 work schedule and said several regulated companies have used a 5×2 schedule for more than two years. The association said more than 5 mil jobs had been lost amid measures introduced by MP 1.394/2026, published less than 30 days earlier. It urged caution in linking any change in retail consumption to the end of regulated betting and said it was discussing ways to preserve jobs with labour entities.
Why it matters
The association says the reported job losses and the movement of betting demand to illegal platforms affect regulated operators and workers.
