Brazil Supreme Court Hearing Sets Up Last Shot for Licensed Sportsbooks

BRASILIA, Brazil – Brazil’s licensed sportsbooks get their day before the Supreme Federal Court next Tuesday, more than a month after the government switched them off . Justice Luiz Fux, who is handling the challenges, will hear from the industry and the government at 10 a.m. Nov. 3 before deciding whether to pause the ban . Trade groups ANJL and IBJR brought the main case and want the 2023 betting law restored or, failing that, a grace period for licensed operators. Fux issued the hearing order on Oct. 26, a day after the measure’s deadline for cancelling licenses passed.
