If the result depends mainly on skills, or if the luck affects the result, the game is not considered a gambling and is not subject to criminal law regulations.

The perception of skill games and gambling is increasing in Brazil recently. Skills games are generally called "Sports of the Mind" (Esportes Da Mente in Portuguese).

In this regard, the Brazilian Federation has recently approved the Brazilian Chess Association, the Texas Holdem Federation, and the Brazil Bridge Federation, and has acknowledged that these games are sports.

Through the backgrounds above, Brazil has two major bills to legalize all forms of gambling, one is the Senate, and the other is proposed in the House of Representatives. Both bills have not yet been approved in the proposed House of Representatives:

House of Representatives No. 442/1991

Both online and the land basis tries to legalize various forms of gambling.

A registration book for gambling addicted patients is created. Gamblin g-addicts are registered by their own intentions or court orders. Such a person cannot gamble.

The approved enthusiasts are established in accordance with Brazilian law, have an address in Japan, have the ability to manage, and are financially healthy. I need it.

Shareholders and managers also need to submit documents such as income tax returns and liquidation certificates, and have no criminal history.

The server of the online game carrier must be set up in Brazil.

Lan d-based casinos: The number of facilities per state is 1 to 3, which is determined based on the number of residents in each state. Based on the current population of each state, Sao Paulo has a maximum of three casinos, Rio de Janeiro, Minasjerai, and Baia have up to two casinos, and other Braziles have one casino.

This restriction is not applied to Hydro Mineral Resorts (such as a specific city of Minas Jeleris), which was previously opened by casinos.

All groups will not be given two or more licenses in the same state in the same state. The license will be issued for 30 years and will be updated for another 30 years.

Senate bill 186/2014

An attempt to legalize gambling in various forms of online and landbase.

Providers must comply with the Central Bank's rules regarding the identification of players, the transmission of financial transactions, and the preservation of records.

The first concrete progress toward gambling and betting was that Federal Law No. 13/756/2018 was enacted at the end of 2018 and the fixed odds sports betting was legalized on both land and online. there were.

This law defines fixed odds sports betting as a form of lottery, including a betting system related to actual sport s-themed events (therefore does not apply to electronic sports events), and is on the time of betting. The prize money is determined.

In late 2020, Brazilian regulatory authorities (the SECAP-division of the Ministry of Economy) announced plans to formulate fixed odds sports betting by July 2021, but this promise was not followed.

In the latest government-ordered draft announced last year, Secap selected a concession license model from three possible approaches (the other two approaches with an unlimited or unlimited license or monopoly).

In the concession model, businesses must have a competitive bidding to "acquire" a limited number of licenses.

Initially, it was expected that more than 30 businesses would not be able to operate in Brazil at all times. However, the latest rumors say that the total number of licenses should be between 50 and 100.

However, given that about 500 foreign sportsbooks are currently being operated in the Brazil market, this increased number of licenses may not be enough.

There is still hope that this wind may change.

66 companies were selected by 66 companies to provide information recently by the Brazilian National Economic and Social Development Bank (BNDES). 38 companies are in cooperation with SECAP to determine the most appropriate business models and legal frameworks, proposals to select companies or corporate consortiums that support BNDES in the structuring of fixed ODS sports betting in Brazil. I was asked to receive a request.

According to the news, the candidate companies have not yet received such RFPs by mi d-July, and that Secap could not keep the promise of evolving regulations. It may be realized in the next few months.

In addition to defining a licensed model for fixed odds sports betting in Brazil, the law No. 13. 756/2018, in addition to the taxes usually paid by Brazil, the sales tax (online business operators (online operators)). 3%, 6%of the operating operators were criticized by the industry.

Fortunately, in July 2021, the Law No. 13. 756/2018 was added by the license business operator after the amendment of the provisional measure No. 1. 034/221, which was the total income/sales of the Act No. 14. 183/2021. This situation has changed due to the tax calculation basis.

In the current law, the payment amount (unlimited) and the corresponding income tax (collected with interest of 30 %) are deducted from the total income of the operator and are ta x-based.
