BRAZIL-HEALTH-GAMBLING

An advertisement for an online sports betting company is seen on the back of a bus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on September 12, 2024. As a matter of urgency, the Brazilian public authorities are seeking to regulate the online gambling activity that has been operating practically without law or order since 2018 and that the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, labeled as a "pandemic." For Hermano Tavares, coordinator of a treatment program for compulsive gamblers at the Psychiatry Institute of the University Hospital of Sao Paulo, regulation should focus on the mental health of users. "Some people suffer from anxiety disorders or depression that can encourage" pathological gambling, explains Anna Lucia King, founder of the Delete Institute.
