Brazil: Lawyer Fabiano Jantalia takes over as president of the Gaming Law Committee of the OAB/DF

With over 20 years of experience in the gaming, betting and lottery sector, lawyer Fabiano Jantalia will be the new president of the Gaming Law Committee of the Brazilian Bar Association – Federal District Section (OAB/DF). His arrival comes at a strategic time, with the main discussions on the regulation of iGaming concentrated in Brasília, both in the federal government, through the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA), and in the National Congress.

A founding partner of the Jantalia Advogados law firm, the specialist in Gaming Law and PhD in Law from the University of Brasília (UnB) assumes the leadership of the Committee in a context of intense debates on the future of the sector in Brazil, especially since Laws No. 13,756/2018 and No. 14,790/2023.

The betting market, which moves billions of reais annually, is the focus of attention of the Legislature and regulatory authorities, demanding a close look from the legal profession to ensure legal certainty, transparency, reliability and integrity in operations.

The Brazilian betting market is going through a crucial moment, because, in addition to the first authorizations having already been issued, beginning the companies’ operations in Brazil, the Ministry of Finance now needs to define its regulatory agenda. We have already scheduled public hearings and consultations. There are many challenges ahead”, says Jantalia.
