STF releases list of speakers for public hearing on the impacts of online gambling in Brazil

Minister Luiz Fux, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), released the schedule and the final list of speakers who will participate in the public hearing next week (11th and 12th) to discuss the impacts of online gambling in Brazil. The hearing was called within the scope of Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) 7721, in which the National Confederation of Commerce of Goods, Services and Tourism (CNC) requests that Law 14.790 be declared unconstitutional.

According to the CNC, the law has boosted and popularized online gambling, leading families, especially low-income ones, to go into debt. The entity also argues that gambling addiction is compromising family budgets and, consequently, the trade and consumption of goods and services.

Minister Luiz Fux explained that the objective of the event is not to gather interpretations or legal theses, but to clarify issues associated with mental health and the neurological impacts of gambling on human behavior.

The hearing will discuss the economic effects of the practice on trade and its effects on the domestic economy, the social consequences of this new regulatory framework, taxation and extra-taxation in the sector, the transparency of betting platforms and the property rights of bettors.

The hearing will be held on Monday (11) and Tuesday (12), starting at 10 am, in the session room of the First Chamber of the STF. On the first day, the presentations will take place in the morning and afternoon shifts. On Tuesday, the demonstrations will be presented from 10 am to noon.

The event will be broadcast live on TV Justiça, Rádio Justiça and on the STF channel on YouTube.
