Brazil’s government is organizing an executive order to ban online casino operations, while excluding sports betting from the proposed restrictions, according to multiple reports.
The nation’s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is expected to sign off on the measure before the first round of Brazil’s general elections on 4 October, although reports say discussions between the president and ministers are still ongoing, indicates CNA.
The proposed ban would not cover sports betting or sponsorship agreements involving sports clubs and competitions. However, many operators offer both online casino games and sports betting, and the licenses issued by the government cover both products.
