5 miliarde de euro pe lună - piața pariurilor în Brazilia / Cluburile de fotbal protestează după ce președintele Lula a anunțat că va declara jocurile de noroc ilegale / 9,25 milioane de brazilieni au pariat lunar în 2025

Brazil's President Lula has declared online gambling and sports betting illegal starting October 6, aiming to protect vulnerable populations from economic and social risks. The government plans to block gambling websites and investigate financial transactions related to gambling. Lula argues that online gambling harms families and mental health, and he seeks to restructure debts for those affected. However, this decision has sparked protests from the football sector, which relies heavily on betting sponsorships. Critics warn that the ban could lead to financial instability for clubs and job losses in the IT sector. Despite opposition, polls show significant public support for Lula's stance against gambling.
