Brazil’s Gambling Sector Prepares for Dialogue Following Lula Win

Brazil has re-elected Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the country’s gambling sector is preparing for more dialogue on Provisional Measure 1,394 , which the President announced last month and aims to impose strict restrictions on the industry. Brazil’s Association of Games and Lotteries Calls for Discussion on Gambling Ban Provisional Measure 1,394, which prohibited betting in the country, brought the licensed betting sector to a halt. Widely interpreted as an attempt to gain support ahead of the presidential election, the measure disrupted the regulated market just less than two years after it was established.
