The Brazil Senate will vote on whether to legalize land-based casinos on Tuesday this week.
Brazil launched licensed online gambling on 1 January, but the bill to legalize land-based betting has been postponed on numerous occasions despite being approved by the Justice and Citizenship Committee last year.
However, it now does appear the bill, PL 2,234/2022, will go in front of the Senate for a vote after Senate President Davi Alcolumbre placed it as item four on the voting agenda for the 8 July session.
If passed by the Senate, the bill will then go to Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, for final approval, though the president is not expected to resist the policy.
