Luiz Fux is expected to defer betting ban case until after Brazil election run-off
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
Brazil’s Supreme Court justice Luiz Fux is expected to consider challenges to MP 1.394/2026 after the presidential run-off, reported by BNLData, citing Estadão. The measure, signed by the federal government, bars betting advertising and sponsorship and sets an end to operators’ concessions, permissions and authorisations 30 days after publication. The MP still requires a vote in Congress; Flamengo’s request to suspend it before 5 October was denied.
Why it matters
The timing of Fux’s review and the MP’s required congressional vote affect operators’ authorisations and betting sponsorships in Brazil.
