In 2011, together with the Brazilian Confederation of 7 Society Football, it filed Direct Actions of Unconstitutionality for Default (ADOs 16 and 17) in the Federal Supreme Court (STF) with the purpose of guaranteeing the opening of bingo houses in the country.
In that action, the entities argued that bingo activity was foreseen by articles 59 to 81 of Law 9.615 / 98 (Lei Pelé), however, with the advent of Law 9.981/00 (Lei Maguito), the activity became prohibited since 31 of December 2001 and that the prohibition was due to a misinterpretation of the competent authorities regarding Article 2 of the Maguito Law. The entities also alleged that the Maguito Law would have stipulated the 60-day deadline for Congress to approve the new bingos exploration law. As the norm was not approved, the practical result was the closing of bingo houses managed by them.”
