Workers’ Party proposes banning ‘predatory’ betting in 2026 policy document
Brazil’s Workers’ Party presented electoral guidelines proposing a ban on betting businesses it classifies as “predatory”, according to the report. The document also calls for a selective tax on other betting platforms at a rate above that applied to tobacco. Separately, Congressman Pedro Uczai has introduced a bill that would prohibit fixed-odds betting operations and related activities across physical and digital channels.
The proposals could change the rules for betting operators if adopted by lawmakers or incorporated into party policy.
