Legal standing of poker Brazil

For the most part, gambling is illegal in this $8 billion market. There are some legal lotteries and track side horse race betting is allowed too. And although, land based gambling is prohibited, it still represents half of the markets value.

With all these restrictions, you would rightfully think there is no place for poker in Brazil but, that’s not even close to true.

In Brazil, poker is considered to be closer to sport than to gambling. Real money poker is played in so called poker associations that are legally seen as sporting associations.

Things are even better for online players, as online gambling is, for now, not prohibited in Brazil.

Sadly, there is some talk about regulating online gambling in Brazil. The country is definitely big enough for a regulation of any sort.

A solution that would allow players from other countries join the Brazil poker sites would definite be preferable to the solution some European countries took.

The restriction model that is used in some European countries, only allows players that live there, to play, but that would be certainly harmful for the industry.

Popularity of poker in Brazil

As mentioned, poker is viewed as a game of skill, a sport of some sort, in Brazil. There are quite some nation wide poker tours that are always crowded.

In addition to its previous popularity, poker has now got a new ambassador in Brazil. Brazilian football legend, Ronaldo.
