Sports betting CPI and the attempt to regulate the sector

– Episode of the podcast 15 Minutes talks about the CPI of sports betting and the search of senators for the regulation of the sector

*) The topic of sports betting is in the spotlight. Mainly due to the unfolding of the operation that investigates a kind of collusion between groups of gamblers and professional athletes.

The fact is that now there is a CPI that should investigate the issue already installed in the Chamber of Deputies.

At the same time, in the other legislative house of Congress, senators are organizing themselves to anticipate the Commission’s results and define the regulation of the sector.

While the majority of CPI deputies are in favor of normalizing betting, with rules for users and tax collection, a significant part of the Senate manifests strong restrictions and even defends a ban.

In the midst of all this, the Lula government promises a provisional measure on the subject.

This episode of the 15 Minutes podcast talks about the CPI of sports betting and the legislative paths for regulating the sector in the country.

The guest to speak on the subject is Sílvio Ribas, editor of the República da Gazeta do Povo team in Brasília. He recently signed a report on the subject.
