Casino, sports betting, poker and more

Casino and sports betting are treated differently under Brazil’s federal fixed-odds framework: sports betting is licensed/regulated, while casino-style games are the subject of narrower federal rules and reported enforcement uncertainty; poker is treated separately as a skill game and falls outside that regime.
