The action of the National Association of Games and Lotteries<\/a> (ANJL)<\/strong> had a significant impact by managing to overturn the injunction that blocked the activities of fixed-odd betting<\/a> lotteries<\/a> in the state of Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This decision is crucial for the sector, as it allows the continuity of operations of the companies involved, at least until the situation is assessed in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contextualization and details of the decision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The injunction that had been imposed provided for the suspension of the activities of companies that were operating online betting without accreditation from the Rio de Janeiro State Lottery <\/a>(LOTERJ<\/a>)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL)<\/strong> <\/a>had been authorized to verify the operational legitimacy of these companies and to take the necessary measures if it found irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the ANJL<\/strong> filed a motion for clarification, alleging, among other things, an omission in the judgment on the period for companies to adapt in accordance with article 9 of Law 14,790\/2023<\/strong>, in addition to questioning the due administrative process conducted by the state authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Federal Judge Pablo Zuniga Dourado<\/strong> revised his previous position and partially accepted<\/strong> ANJL<\/strong>‘s embargoes, admitting the association as amicus curiae in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
