The deputies want to include the topic in the updating of the Pelé Law and, also, to prevent Bolsonaro from sending a new PM to the Chamber that is biased.
The Commission also intends to discuss the transfers of the Federal Lottery to clubs, confederations, and federations.
The Pelé Law created an objective regulation regarding the practice or exploitation of games of chance in Brazil, defining age range, form of administration, among other important definitions, according to an article by lawyers Bernardo Alvares and Christian Domenico De Luca.
“The Pelé Law lasted a short time, since in 2000 Law No. 9,981, of July 14, 2000 (Lei Maguito) was enacted and sanctioned by the then President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, who through art. 2º definitively revoked the authorizations for the operation of bingos in all Brazilian territory,” stated Bernardo and Christian.
