REGULATION OF ONLINE SPORTS BETTING IN BRAZIL: CONTEMPORARY ANALYSIS AFTER LAW 14,790/23

Abstract

With the enactment of Law No. 14,790/23, the regulation of online sports betting consolidated a milestone in the Brazilian legal and economic scenario, reflecting the transition from a predominantly prohibitive model to a regulatory system under construction. In this context, it is essential to analyze the interaction of constitutional principles with the subject, highlighting legality, human dignity, consumer protection and social responsibility, which underpin a balanced and ethical framework. Cases such as ADPFs No. 492 and 493 and ADIs No. 7,721 and 7,723 brought important debates on the constitutionality and moral limits of sports betting. In addition, the expansion of digital platforms has increased state expectations regarding tax collection and social control, requiring the creation of public policies that balance market freedom and the protection of individual rights. This paper, therefore, seeks to analyze the impacts of Law No. 14,790/23 in light of these aspects and its contemporary relevance.
