Casino and gambling lovers are anxious to know if these practices will finally be legalized again. It was left for 2023 the definition of parliamentarians in relation to this matter. The Chamber of Deputies has already approved the basic text of the bill and now it is necessary to have the Senate vote. On the internet, however, it is possible to play at online casinos. Houses like Betfair Brasil operate legally here.
Gambling situation
As stated at the opening of this text, it is necessary to have a vote in the Federal Senate for the project to go to the president’s desk. If released, it will be up to Lula to sanction the law or not. But there will be resistance. The Parliamentary Front against gambling was created, led by Senator Eduardo Girão, from Podemos-CE. There is still no set date for the holding of the election in the legislative house.
In 2018, then President Michel Temer determined that the decree-law regulating sports betting be signed within a maximum of four years. The deadline ended on December 12, 2022. Therefore, companies in this segment operate freely in Brazil, without paying any type of fee or tax. The government has lost billions.
Also in 2018, sports betting was included in the category of fixed odds betting, when the player knows how much he will win in case of a hit. The casino does not fall into this category.
Sports betting sites, as well as online casinos, can operate smoothly here, as they are legal and regulated in other countries around the world.
Possible advantages of casino legalizations
Parliamentarians who are against the legalization of the casino claim that the release will increase crimes such as currency evasion, money laundering and even increase addiction among players.
Those who defend the regularization of casinos in Brazil point out some factors that may be favorable to their opinion. Among these factors:
● Generation of jobs and various opportunities.
● Money collected in taxes from casino sites can be used in different sectors of Brazilian society.
● It is possible to associate casino games with cities, creating a tourist hub, as is done in places like Las Vegas, in the United States; Monte Carlo, in Monaco; Punta del Este, Uruguay, and in different places around the world.
● Improvement of the Brazilian economy.
An interesting and curious fact is that Brazil, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia are the three countries in the world that, at the moment, do not allow the legalization of physical casinos. It may be that in the near future this number will drop even further. It will depend on the National Congress and the Brazilian president, who will be Lula, for the release or not.
