According to the consulting firm Palver, 80% of the messages exchanged in groups about Bets are in favor of banning betting in the country. The media may cry over the millions lost, the influencers who profit from others' losses may protest, but Lula scored a great goal. And the people know it! (translated)

🚨 The Lula government prepares a meeting with clubs to try to contain the unrest in football after a Provisional Measure prohibiting bets. The government will summon the clubs next week to discuss possible assistance for the teams affected by the PM. First, it intends to listen to the leaders and assess the impact caused by the prohibition. The Planalto wants to know how much of each club's revenue will be affected and has not yet defined what type of assistance it can offer. The Minister of Sports is in talks with the teams to try to reduce the tension. The idea is to contain the clubs' unrest on the eve of the elections. The ban on bets is part of Lula's electoral strategy against Flávio Bolsonaro. The clubs protested against the PM. Flamengo, which receives R$ 268.5 million per year from its main sponsor, said it has no "plan B." Fluminense also spoke out, advocating for a "transition period." (translated)

The CBF and clubs discuss changes in transfers, pitches, relegation, and arbitration. After reducing the limit of foreigners and standardizing the schedules of Series A and B, the CBF debates 4 other changes with the clubs. • TRANSFERS Leaders want to end the rule that prevents a player from transferring to another club in the same competition after playing 12 matches. The proposal has support from big clubs, including Flamengo and Palmeiras, but faces resistance from medium and smaller clubs that fear losing athletes to richer teams. The chance of APPROVAL for 2027 is HIGH. • PITCHES The possible ban on synthetic pitches LOST STRENGTH due to the poor condition of some natural fields. Now, the idea is to monitor the pitches of Series A and B with inspections, for example, every 2 months. If the field is disapproved, the club would NOT be allowed to play in the stadium until the problem is resolved. • RELEGATION Traditional clubs advocate reducing the number of relegated teams in Series A from 4 to 3. One of the arguments is that this would provide more stability to medium teams that "rise and fall." • ARBITRATION The CBF will evaluate the changes made in 2026: the professionalization of 72 referees and assistants, hired as legal entities; the arrival of Sandro Meira Ricci at the head of the Arbitration Commission; and the creation of an arbitration directorate within the entity. The entity is expected to present a report indicating improvement in arbitration. 🗞️ @Estadao | @marcrizzo 📸 Rafael Ribeiro/CBF (translated)

It's good to remember that I asked this question to the president (and he didn't mind me calling him "you," he himself said). Happy with the ban! Better late than never. Whether it's an electoral measure or not, it will prevent many lives from being destroyed by these advertisements. (translated)

I have always defended the prohibition of betting, but not in such a clumsy and legally insane way. Put yourselves in the shoes of entrepreneurs in OTHER SECTORS of the economy: “So you're saying that I pay a fee to operate in Brazil, invest, plan, and then, out of nowhere, everything gets canceled with a stroke of a pen?” (translated)

More than 15 thousand job vacancies could end with the end of the bets; ministries are concerned about loss of revenue. The ban could eliminate about 15.5 thousand jobs, mainly in the IT sector. Companies in the sector have already indicated that they will appeal to the Supreme Court if the measure is maintained. From January to July 2026, the sector generated R$ 8.75 billion in revenue, as well as R$ 2.5 billion in grants paid in 2025 to operate in Brazil for 5 years (until 2029). There is CONCERN in the Ministries of Finance, Justice, and Health about the loss of revenue. The legislation on bets provides for transfers for social assistance and projects in Justice and Health. With a possible ban, the Government would have to seek resources to maintain these programs. (translated)

Guys, here's the thing: We who are older know that with the prohibition of betting, another trend will come. Telexfree, ostrich egg, money by mail, fat cattle farm. What Brazilians love the most is to lose everything for a little promise of easy money. (translated)

🚨Yuri22 speaks out against Lula after the ban on bets and reveals that he received a proposal of R$ 11 million per month from a Chinese casino to promote the platform abroad! • The largest casino streamer in Brazil reinforced that he is totally against illegal Chinese casinos. (translated)

The supplier of Palmeiras, Puma is worried about the ban on betting in Brazil. Reason? The master sponsorship. The supplier has several jerseys produced in stock with the Sportingbet logo on the front of the jersey. And the MP prohibits the offering and advertising of betting houses in the country.
