A new survey from DataSenado has revealed 60% of the Brazilian adult population are in favor of legalizing land-based gambling.

On Tuesday (22 April), the DataSenado Research Institute released the findings of a national survey that sought to establish how much public support there was for land-based gambling in the country. DataSenado is a research institute linked to the Transparency Secretariat of the Federal Senate.

PL 2,234/2022, the bill to legalize land-based casinos, bingo, jogo do bicho and betting on horse racing, was approved by the Justice and Citizenship Committee in June last year.

After facing setbacks and being postponed on a number of occasions, there is some confidence the bill will be voted upon by the Senate in the near future.
