Brazil's Supreme Federal Court: rulings, hearings and who gets heard.
At the opening of the Supreme Court's public hearing, the rapporteur of the cases against the ban said gambling addiction is a public health problem. His vote still depends on ten other justices, and the trial has been stalled since August by a request for review from Flávio Dino.
On Tuesday, November 3, the Supreme Federal Court hears from those who want to overturn the betting ban. Justice Luiz Fux's first list had ten clubs, the CBF, the betting houses' associations and the TV broadcasters' association. Psychiatrists, consumer advocates and child-protection groups, heard in 2024, were not invited. Outside the court, the Bets Nunca Mais petition already tops 140,000 names.
