According to the senator, “every day we hear stories of parents who have their children committed to hospital. People attempting to kill people, marriages being destroyed,” she said to justify the proposal to create a channel to receive complaints.
Soraya Thronicke explained that real cases will help senators present bills to regulate online betting. Among the suggestions is the total prohibition of advertising for these games, including on the internet.
“First, eliminate advertising completely. How can I prohibit advertising for minors under 18 if they go to stadiums and spend the night on the computer? It's very difficult. We simply have to nip this in the bud, without advertising. Didn't this happen with cigarettes? We can't allow advertising, it starts there. Many people don't pay the person's premium and disappear," she stated.
The channel proposed by the senator would be restricted to the CPI of 'Bets' and, as soon as the Parliamentary Inquiry Committee is closed, it will cease to exist. The request should be voted on at the committee meeting this Tuesday (10).
