Minister Luiz Fux of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) has announced the schedule and the final list of speakers who will participate in the public hearing next week (11th and 12th) to discuss the impacts of online betting in Brazil. It was convened under the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) 7721, in which the National Confederation of Commerce of Goods, Services, and Tourism (CNC) requests that Law 14.790 be declared unconstitutional.
According to the CNC, the law has boosted and popularized online betting, leading families, especially low-income ones, to incur debts. The entity also argues that addiction to betting is compromising the family budget and, consequently, commerce and the consumption of goods and services.
Minister Luiz Fux explained that the purpose of the event is not to collect legal interpretations or theses, but to clarify issues associated with mental health, the neurological impacts of betting on human behavior.
The hearing will discuss the economic effects of the practice on commerce and its effects on the domestic economy, the social consequences of this new regulatory framework, taxation and extra-fiscal measures in the sector, the transparency of betting platforms, and the property rights of bettors.
The hearing will be held on Monday (11th) and Tuesday (12th), starting at 10 am, in the session room of the First Panel of the STF. On the first day, the presentations will occur in the morning and afternoon shifts. On Tuesday, the presentations will be from 10 am to noon.
The event will be broadcast live by TV Justiça, Rádio Justiça, and the STF's YouTube channel.
