Senate President <strong>Davi Alcolumbre<\/strong> confirmed that the vote on <strong>PL 2,234\/2022<\/strong> was delayed due to low attendance, a procedural setback that adds to years of legislative gridlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill, which would authorize casinos, bingo halls, and jogo do bicho operations, was approved by the Justice and Citizenship Committee back in June 2024 but has struggled to advance to a full floor vote. Lawmakers remain deeply divided, with strong resistance from the evangelical caucus and conservative senators who argue that expanded gambling could fuel addiction and crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9622\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporters, however, highlight the potential economic benefits. Finance Minister <strong>Fernando Haddad<\/strong> has spoken in favor of regulated brick-and-mortar casinos as both a tourism driver and a reliable source of tax revenue. He contrasted the situation with Brazil\u2019s rapidly growing online betting market, which he recently described as a \u201cmoral stain\u201d despite delivering billions in taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/brazils-land-based-casino-bill-hits-yet-another-snaglegalization-still-in-limbo2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/brazils-land-based-casino-bill-hits-yet-another-snaglegalization-still-in-limbo2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/brazils-land-based-casino-bill-hits-yet-another-snaglegalization-still-in-limbo2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/brazils-land-based-casino-bill-hits-yet-another-snaglegalization-still-in-limbo2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/brazils-land-based-casino-bill-hits-yet-another-snaglegalization-still-in-limbo2.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its official launch in January 2025, the licensed online betting sector has generated <strong>R$17.4 billion in gross gaming revenue (GGR)<\/strong>, contributing <strong>R$3.8 billion in federal taxes<\/strong> and channeling <strong>R$2.14 billion into social projects<\/strong> within just six months.

According to the <strong>DataSenado Institute<\/strong>, nearly <strong>60% of Brazilians<\/strong> support legalization, with backing strongest among younger voters and urban populations. Proponents stress that without regulation, billions continue to flow to unlicensed venues and offshore operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/colombian-gambling-news\/brazilian-senate-recesses-without-voting-on-casino-legalization-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brazilian senate recesses without voting on casino legalization bill<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, ideological battles remain fierce, and the political calendar complicates the road ahead. With municipal elections looming in October, some observers believe the casino debate may be shelved until 2026. For now, Brazil\u2019s casino dreams remain on hold\u2014caught between economic opportunity and political resistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil\u2019s Senate delays land-based casino legalization once again, as public support grows and online betting revenues surge, leaving reform in limbo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13620,"menu_order":71,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[1488,4315,844,57],"class_list":["post-13616","gambling","type-gambling","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","tag-ban","tag-brasil","tag-brazil","tag-casinos","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
