Brazil banned fixed-odds betting, which covers sports betting and online casino-style games, by provisional measure on 25 September 2026. The harm behind it is real, but a moderately taxed, regulated market handles it better, as US alcohol and cannabis policy suggest, and keeps the jobs, tax and player protections the ban destroys.
The Verdict Opinion summary
Banning betting is the wrong move: a moderately taxed, regulated market limits harm better and keeps jobs and revenue.
