Brazil’s senate could be weeks away from approving land-based gambling as the bill proposing its launch is deemed urgent. According to local news reports, the bill to legalize land-based gambling in Brazil could be voted on before the Senate’s July recess.
Brazilian newspaper Metrópoles [on Monday] reported Senate President Davi Alcolumbre has told leaders he will schedule the vote on land-based gambling as a matter of urgency.
The bill, PL 2,234/2022, was approved by the Justice and Citizenship Committee in June 2024. However, the subsequent Senate vote was postponed on numerous occasions.
It seemed unclear when exactly the vote would happen, although Minister of Tourism Celso Sabino believed it would be carried out in H1.
