The Supreme Court of Brazil has suspended lawsuits against the ban on online betting in the country
At the end of September, the authorities in Brazil temporarily banned online betting in the country — both in sports betting and online casinos. After the introduction of the ban, operators attempted to obtain a court order to resume operations, but unsuccessfully.
Luiz Fux
On November 8, Justice Luiz Fux of the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court ordered the suspension of all lower court cases challenging the online betting ban. His decision will remain in effect until the Supreme Court issues a verdict on the constitutionality of the restrictions.
It was reported that the Attorney General's Office of Brazil had previously called for the suspension of legal proceedings. They explained their position with a desire to avoid conflicting court rulings. Specifically, some courts had already granted permission for companies Stake Brazil and CDA Gaming to resume operations, but their rulings were later overturned.
