The Federal Government signed the new MP for sports betting on the 25th, which generated positive expectations among operators and representatives of the gambling and sports betting industry in Brazil.
Initially, the Ministry of Finance predicted a collection of up to R$ 15 billion with this measure. However, last week, the Minister of Finance reduced this estimate to R$ 2 billion.
