Președintele Braziliei a interzis pariurile sportive din online, pe care le consideră un tip de „cancer”. Măsura, luată cu doar câteva zile înainte de alegeri

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has banned online sports betting, citing public health concerns and addiction issues. This decision comes just nine days before elections where he seeks a fourth term. Lula compared these platforms to a "cancer" that must be removed to prevent harm. The ban, effective immediately, requires parliamentary approval to become law. Many Brazilian families are in debt due to gambling, with significant financial losses reported. While some clubs rely on betting sponsorships, critics argue that the ban may push bettors to unregulated sites, undermining the intended protections.
