Brazil is, once again, just a Presidential signature away from a legal and regulated sports betting market after the Chamber of Deputies voted in favor of the bill that has dominated 2023.
Significantly, the bill will legalize and regulate online casino games despite the Senate rejecting and amending those measures.
Bill PL3626/23 was returned to the Chamber of Deputies on Dec. 13 after the Senate failed to settle long-standing disputes on maintaining online casino games. The main opposition came from Senators of the Liberal Party.
The Senate returned the Bill, excluding online casino, requiring the lower house to review over 100 changes to the legislation’s text since its submission for legislative review of federal modalities by Senate committees.
