The regulated sector advocates a strict fight against clandestine operations, which move R$ 38 billion annually without paying taxes.

The sector is the leading sponsor of national football, providing R$ 1.1 billion per season in master sponsorships to clubs in Brazil’s Série A.

According to a study by LCA Consultores and IBJR, the sector moves R$ 3.3 billion, increases tax revenue, and strengthens national sports.

The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gambling notes that excessive taxes encourage clandestine activity and undermine the sustainability of the regulated market.

IBJR advocates for balanced taxation and action against unregulated platforms to strengthen Brazil’s betting market.

According to IBJR, the proposed new tax threatens to make legal bets more expensive, reduce tax revenue, and strengthen illegal sites.

The proposed tax on deposits creates a price-based competitive advantage for clandestine platforms, cannibalizes tax revenue, and puts consumers at risk.

The lawful market warns that higher taxation could reduce investment and favor illegal platforms.
