Brazil parliament delays discussion on sports betting reforms

The crucial vote on Brazil's sports betting legislation, initially set for the Senate, has been postponed again. Tuesday, designated for the Economic Affairs Commission's discussion of the bill, saw the meeting rescheduled for Friday, further deferring the prospect of a full Senate vote.

Numerous revisions and alterations to the bill, previously approved by the Chamber of Deputies in September, contribute to the delay. A major point of contention revolves around proposed tax rates for sports betting establishments.

The text has undergone at least thirty modifications, impeding progress and raising concerns about the bill's potential failure to pass this month.
