The bill will now go to the Chamber of Deputies for study.
Online casinos from abroad are currently operating and the aim is that you can only bet in virtual gaming rooms within the country and disable those abroad, according to what was said in the Senate.
Another topic to be studied is clandestine gambling halls.

Obviously, this affects transversally; there are people who are in favor and others against”, therefore he proposed to “legalize them.
