While the numbers remain controversial, they\u2019ve sparked urgent debate about economic vulnerability and digital addiction among low-income Brazilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucas is calling for <strong>stricter oversight from the Central Bank<\/strong>, including real-time monitoring of Pix transactions tied to gambling activity. He also wants the <strong>creation of a national registry of bettors<\/strong>, compulsory age verification mechanisms, and a <strong>ban on online casinos<\/strong>. Additionally, he recommends <strong>tightening restrictions on influencer marketing<\/strong>, citing the need to bring figures like Jon Vlogs before the commission to address their role in promoting betting to youth audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/senator-drops-bombshell-in-brazils-cpi-links-welfare-funds-to-online-gambling2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/senator-drops-bombshell-in-brazils-cpi-links-welfare-funds-to-online-gambling2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/senator-drops-bombshell-in-brazils-cpi-links-welfare-funds-to-online-gambling2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/senator-drops-bombshell-in-brazils-cpi-links-welfare-funds-to-online-gambling2-768x500.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The senator\u2019s report contrasts with the official version led by <strong>Senator Soraya Thronicke<\/strong>, whose text is expected to be more moderate. The CPI is scheduled to conclude on <strong>June 14, 2025<\/strong>, but Lucas has pushed for an extension to allow further hearings and refinements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/colombian-gambling-news\/from-brazil-to-buenos-aires-betting-influencers-under-fire-across-latin-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">From Brazil to Buenos Aires: Betting Influencers Under Fire Across Latin America<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If adopted, Lucas\u2019s recommendations could mark a turning point in Brazil\u2019s iGaming policy, aligning it more closely with European AML\/CFT standards and safeguarding consumers\u2014especially the most economically vulnerable.
