David Ágape stated that, almost a week before the first round, Lula announced the end of the bets, but that the underground game of Tigrinho continued to be active. The author classified the measure as hypocritical and said that Lula's government had sanctioned the online casinos law, licensed the market, and collected R$ 2.55 billion in grants without returning the money. Ágape also challenged the idea that regulation would end clandestineness. According to him, on the first day after the deadline, The Investigation found ads for casinos on Instagram that were not listed by the Treasury. Influencers with up to 11 million followers allegedly directed the public to six underground establishments, some of which accepted deposits via Pix. https://t.co/1V9t284QDz #Lula #Cassinos #Bets (translated)
