Bill 2234/2023 legalizes all gambling in Brazil, such as casinos in resorts, tourist casinos, bingo, jogo do bicho and online. It was approved in February 2022 in the Chamber of Deputies and, sent to the Senate, received a new number and has been shelved ever since.
Last Friday (24), the president of the Constitution and Justice Commission, senator Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP) appointed his colleague Irajá (PSD-TO) to report on the matter. The objective is for the Bill to return to the House and help the government achieve fiscal balance.
The Bill rapporteur in the Senate is the author of Bill 4495/2020, which legalizes only casinos in integrated resorts. The proposal, when presented, received criticism for favoring only large enterprises and was pointed out as having been created to benefit the large casinos in Las Vegas.
With the approval of Bill 3626/2023, which regulates sports betting in Brazil and with discussions about the inclusion of online gaming in the measure, senator Davi Alcolumbre decided to resume the process of the project that legalizes all other games , after behind-the-scenes conversations with the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG).
