Regulatory

Brazil had spent years attempting to regulate sports betting, with the senate passing Federal Law No. 13,756/2018 to legalise fixed-odds land-based and online sports betting for the last four years ago. The news that Brazil’s newly elected government is set to regulate sports betting has been met very positively by the sector. Former President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro was not willing to sign Brazil’s sports betting regulators before the deadline expired.

The distributed prize pool is one of the reasons that explains the good performance of the games.
