President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is making a major move against online gambling just days before Brazil’s closely contested election.
- Lula has officially banned online betting platforms across the country.
- The decision follows widespread public disapproval, with 75% of voters supporting a ban.
- This policy shift reverses previous laws that allowed these platforms to operate.
- Major betting operators like Entain and Flutter will lose their local licenses as a result.
By siding with the majority of citizens on this issue, Lula is clearly looking to boost his support during a tight race.
