Analysis of survey conducted on gaming return in Brazil

For those who have been closely following the battle for the legalization process of gambling in Brazil for years, it is well known that the greatest barrier that ever existed was that lawmakers did not have the courage to approve something that is essential for Brazil, and to break social and cultural paradigms that can no longer stop the evolution and development that the country needs so much.

Polls like this are more useful for our legislators to see that they can, and should, overcome the fear of public opinion, because in simple sampling, regardless of age group, social level, schooling, sex, etc .... It has already been possible to verify that Brazil is rather in favor of the legalization of games of chance.

It is important to say that besides responding to a survey or research, an important factor is the way in which the population or public opinion is consulted. Because talking about gambling may not be the most appropriate question, as we are actually fighting for its withdrawal from clandestinity or illegality, so that it becomes a lawful activity and contributes to society in general, whether it generates jobs, taxes and development.

We hope that our legislators will take advantage of this opinion polling initiative and focus their attention on the projects that we already have at the Congresses that are ready to be voted on, and that they approve it as soon as possible so that the gaming industry can assist Brazil in this difficult economic momento with ethical and moral conflicts, so that together we can make Brazil better for us and for future generations.
