Lula’s Proposed Ban on Online Casinos Might Hurt the Incipient Prediction Market Industry in Brazil

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva recently vowed to fight the online gambling industry in Brazil.

“Another drama hitting Brazilian households is gambling addiction. Although most addicts are men, the bill falls on women: money for food, rent, school, and children disappearing on a cellphone screen.”

Lula then announced that online casinos were banned, stating that it was pointless to allow gambling to enter homes and fill families with debt through mobile phones. He concluded by disclosing that he would work with Congress and the Judiciary to stop the online betting platforms from destroying families.

Nonetheless, she stresses that some products linked to financial markets resemble derivatives. Kalshi, which has recently partnered with XP Group to expand to Brazil, will first bring this kind of prediction event to Brazilian investors.
