Market Spotlight: Brazil (-20.1%)
Brazil’s Blask Index along with the new decree from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been updated. The new law dismisses any process of offering and advertising of fixed-odds sports betting and online gambling, both physically and virtually. Only the legal types of lottery will still be operating.
All deposits have been blocked since the announcement, while withdrawals are still possible until 5 October at 23:59, and both sites and applications will cease their functions from 6 October.
Brazil’s Blask Index had responded with a tremendous +41.45% increase on 26 September, as soon as the announcement about iGaming ban came along.
