Senate President <strong>Davi Alcolumbre<\/strong> removed the bill from the agenda, and no new date for discussion has been set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link-la-fiesta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/la-fiesta-link-mundovideo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/la-fiesta-link-mundovideo.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/la-fiesta-link-mundovideo-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/la-fiesta-link-mundovideo-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The delay marks a significant setback for proponents of the bill, who argue that legalized casinos could generate over <strong>BRL 20 billion annually in tax revenue<\/strong> and create upwards of <strong>1 million jobs<\/strong>. The Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Tourism have expressed strong support for the measure, citing its potential to stimulate regional economies and attract foreign investment through integrated resort developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, strong opposition remains from conservative and evangelical lawmakers, including Senator <strong>Eduardo Gir\u00e3o<\/strong>, who denounce gambling as a threat to families and public health. Critics also question the country\u2019s readiness to enforce regulatory safeguards against money laundering and gambling addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite widespread public support\u2014recent polls show that over 60% of Brazilians favor legalization\u2014the bill remains in limbo. The Senate is not expected to revisit the proposal until after the recess, pushing any potential vote into the second half of the year, with no firm date confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Brazil\u2019s online betting sector, legalized in 2024, continues to thrive. The federal government collected nearly <strong>BRL 3 billion<\/strong> in taxes from online sportsbooks in the first five months of 2025, tightening its grip on unlicensed operators and advertising restrictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil\u2019s Senate enters July recess without voting on the casino legalization bill PL 2.234\/2022.
