SPA to exclude Bolsa Familia from Brazil Bets regime

Nearly a third of Brazil’s adult population could be prevented from spending any money in the country’s newly launched gambling market, according to SBC Noticias – Brasil.

Concerns around social responsibility and financial vulnerability prompted Fux, a member of the Supreme Court of Brazil, to draft protective measures against people claiming certain state benefits from gambling.

This decision, made last November, was supported by the rest of the Supreme Court. Five months down the line, the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) of the Ministry of Finance is following through with regulatory measures.

“This is still in the final stages of alignment, mainly legal, but also technical, to see if it complies with the Supreme [Federal Court] decision,” said Regis Dudena, Secretary of Prizes and Bets at the Ministry of Finance, and ead of the SPA, in a recent interview with Brazilian media.
