🇧🇷 Brazil betting boom meets political heat

Brazil’s regulated betting market is still delivering scale, with the federal government reportedly collecting £1.2bn in betting and gaming taxes in H1 2026 alone 💰📊. That underlines why the market drew such intense attention from operators and suppliers. But the political mood is shifting fast ⚖️. President Lula has signalled frustration, while lawmakers have floated both an online casino ban and a wider online betting ban. For iGaming, the October elections now look like the key test of how stable this major market really is 👀. 🌐 Source: SBC News
