- The request is to allow the AGU and the Presidency of the Republic to respond to claims from two betting entities.
- These claims are part of Direct Actions of Unconstitutionality (ADIs) 7.721, 7.723, and 7.749.
- The context is the recent issuance of Provisional Measure 1.394/2026, which prohibits fixed-odds betting.
- The provisional measure requires companies to make their platforms unavailable within ten days and will lead to the extinction of operating authorizations after 30 days.
- The betting entities involved are the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL) and the Brazilian Institute of Responsible Gaming (IBJR).
- The AGU's petition does not disclose the content of the entities' requests or the AGU's position on the merits.
- Minister Fux has yet to decide on the AGU's request for more time.
