The author of Bill 2,985/2023, which prohibits 'Bets' advertising, is Senator Styvenson Valentim. In his justification, he argues that, given the economic power accumulated by betting companies, the Legislature must act to establish limits on the activity. Portinho is the rapporteur of this text.
Bill 3,405/2023, which prohibits athletes and celebrities from advertising 'Bets', was authored by Senator Eduardo Girão and has a similar purpose. The rapporteur is Senator Sérgio Petecão. The bill includes in the law that regulates 'Bets' the prohibition of advertising by sports teams, athletes, former athletes, as well as presenters or commentators of any sport and any means of communication.
It also prohibits advertising by celebrities, digital influencers or any person, as defined in the regulation, who may influence the behavior of a significant number of people.
