- The STF's decision will have repercussions for over 2,728 pending lawsuits.
- Minister Dino wants the ruling to address online betting, while the rapporteur, Minister Luiz Fux, prefers to focus only on the 1941 law.

- A separate bill to legalize casinos, bingos, and "jogo do bicho" is stalled in Congress.
