Stake wins law suit against Brazil, but...

[Powerjumboo]

Yes, it was just a short victory. But I don't think that they can win the war inside Brazil, the President is against all gambling form and so they are going to reject anything about it and they are for sure going to have a new law mandated and approved on whatever government bodies they have.

And it's only the question of time, as for the gamblers in Brazil, they might have to find a way to play. Maybe using online but that is going to be risky on their side.

If the government of a country is against gambling, it is very difficult to continue gambling from that country. If the president of Brazil is against gambling, it will be really difficult to gamble from Brazil because anyone who wants to will not be able to gamble as freely as before. But I think they will make new rules in the new law and they may allow licensed casino platforms to play.

The president of Brazil is not actually against gambling as he wants everyone to believe, this is rather a political maneuver by him in order to try to win the presidential election (which is going for a second round late October). He is the same president which offered casinos and bookies to operate regularly in the country and under a license, so the government could collect money from registration of licenses and also from taxes.

He seems he realize there is a significant percentage of people in the country which does not like gambling and betting and he had a political change of heart, but it is not an actual change of heart though.

Is it even possible to change the political environment by an online gambling site? Definitely, I don't believe that. So how will stakes influence the outcome of their election? I don't know the logic here.

The political environment? Hmmm. Most politician have backing from businesses and tycoons or other with the same interest. If Stake can backed the opposition financially in exchange of a favor for them to stay or something like that, that's something not impossible. But for election outcome? They need more effort or group effort to do it.

Every individual or organisation has the right to seek redress in court if they believe their rights have been infringed. Stake went to court to get a judgement that will make them operate till the end of their licence period. I think this is a just course because it was thesame government that issued the operational licence to them. Why the sudden ban without sufficient grace period to reorganise thier business in Brazil? Stake also has the financial capacity to cover the cost of litigation. Other casinos might not have enough money to seek redress in court.

What you have said makes sense, it was abrupt and unfair, and that's the core reason they had the temporary injunction. But I feel they over-stretched when they asked for operation until their license expires in 2029—I think that's unreasonable seeing that everyone is also affected. Imagine if they had won, and every other casino takes the same approach, isn't that basically reversing the MP? That's why I feel their legal action doesn't make any sense to me.

Everyone has right, but I'm sure every right has a limit. Going to court is their right, that's true; but it's truly unnecessary and unreasonable.

I don't see this as a win for stake, they are only doing what they can to keep their customers, even if they are 100 gamblers from Brazil on stake it is still significant for the business.

If Stake wants to keep it's business with Brazil it's also possible, it will only cost them money, which is the root of all good and evil, if they have the money they can work something out.

Even if the president of Brazil is against gambling he will have to hate money so much for this to never get resolved if you know what this means, there is nothing money can't do.

I know it will be difficult to gamble in such a country however it is not impossible to gamble over there.
We are in an era where we use or we gamble online and there are many ways you can always use a casino, even when your country doesn’t permit it.
There are some countries that are not permitted to use this forum by there government, but a lot of them are using the forum, they do that with very strong VPN.

The government cannot stop people that have been gambling from gambling, no matter what they do people from Brazil we still gamble.

I will not deny your words, because in my own country there are some giant companies that kind of change the laws of the country, I mean, they control the politicians with their money power. But these companies are not small companies or companies that hold a single sector. They have thousands of products and businesses. These are just a deep state.

But from this point on, I basically raised the question of whether just one gambling site can actually have that much of an impact on politics? Although none of us know the inside story.

It is a temporary win for stake and other major casinos which had paid for their license to operate legally in Brazil and in the end, they are being to shut down their operations anyways. When comes to Lula Da Silva, I don't think he is in the presidency for money alone, he is rather into politics for power.
That is why he has decided to sacrifice Brazil's gambling industry so he can have a better chance to continue in the presidency of the country in the long term.

It is an interesting topic, how gambling can have much to do with the dynamics of power in a country to big and important like Brazil is.
