So nothing is criminalized in the country and that's it! Fraud, scams... Don't buy your cell phone at a store! Buy it stolen, because everything continues to happen even though it is prohibited. They legalized betting for what? To end illegal gambling! But there is still illegal lottery, underground casinos... The only thing that changed with the legalization of betting is that 15% of the country now bets legally. "Legal" and "illegal" are not the same thing! The "illegal" hides, the "legal" becomes culture, as you see now a bunch of kids being influenced by the millions of casino livestreams. Children/teenagers want to grow up and become casino streamers, not lottery criminals. Prohibiting is not ELIMINATING! It's controlling! Since the aggressive advertisement control on cigarettes was implemented, for example, in Brazil cigarette consumption has dropped DRAMATICALLY. And only the way advertising was done was prohibited, along with consumption in several places. This argument does not defend betting, it defends that we give up on any law that isn't perfect. Individual freedom is betting with your money. What we have in Brazil is not that! It's people using money they don't have, money from Welfare programs, 20 ads promising to change lives on Stories and television. This is not freedom; it's revenue at the expense of victims.
