O contraste entre a proibição dos jogos de azar e a legalização das casas de apostas no Brasil: uma análise sob a ótica do direito penal

Abstract

This study analyzes the apparent contradiction between the prohibition of gambling and the legalization of betting houses in Brazil, from the perspective of Criminal Law. The research examines the legal impacts of this normative duality, focusing on legal certainty, the prevention of financial crimes, and the effectiveness of current regulations. Using a qualitative and exploratory approach based on bibliographic review and legislative analysis, the study aims to understand the regulatory challenges faced by the State, while comparing the Brazilian context with international experiences. The goal is to contribute to the debate on normative coherence and the need for legislative adaptation in light of the growing popularity of online betting.
