Trust me, there were more illegal gaming opportunities in Brazil than bicho. And now there are going to be A LOT more.
But even if we take what you say as gospel, answer me two questions:
Do you think organised-crime betting operators are (a) sad or (b) happy that regulated competition has now been banned?
Do you think that what ails Brazil will be improved by giving organised crime (a) fewer or (b) more revenue streams?
Brazil’s problem is not people playing regulated casino games. It’s that you can’t walk in the fucking street at night without an armed guard; this will NOT improve that one iota.
