POTENTIAL OF R$ 100 BI BY 2026
The sports betting and online casino market is expected to earn more than R$100 billion in the next 3 years. The estimate is from Fhoresp (Federation of Hotels, Bars and Restaurants of the State of São Paulo) and IDT-CEMA (Institute of Development, Tourism, Culture, Sport and Environment).
The organizations estimate that the amount of R$100 billion to be earned by bets from 2024 to 2026 will generate R$12 billion in taxes. The law that regulates the topic was sanctioned by Lula at the end of 2023. A 12% tax rate was established for the market in question.
