巴西总统卢伊兹·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦宣布在全国范围内禁止网络赌博，此举发生在10月4日总统决选、极右翼挑战者弗拉维奥·博索纳罗竞选前夕数天。卢拉称博彩行业是必须从巴西社会中清除的“癌症”。这一禁令针对的是一个因成瘾和洗钱问题而受到审查的行业。
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has banned online gambling nationwide, days ahead of an October 4 presidential runoff against far-right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula described the betting industry as a "cancer" that must be removed from Brazilian society. The move targets an industry that has drawn scrutiny over addiction and money-laundering concerns. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a decree banning online sports betting and gambling nationwide, citing the industry's toll on low-income households. Officials said enforcement would begin immediately, targeting both domestic operators and offshore platforms that have proliferated since Brazil legalized regulated betting in 2024.
巴西总统卢伊兹·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦签署法令，禁止全国范围内的在线体育博彩和赌博，理由是该行业给低收入家庭造成负担。官员表示，禁令将立即执行，针对国内运营商，以及自巴西2024年将受监管博彩合法化以来迅速增多的境外平台。
The ban lands just over a week before Brazilians vote on October 4 in a presidential runoff that polls describe as effectively tied. Lula faces Flávio Bolsonaro, the far-right candidate carrying his father Jair Bolsonaro's political movement, and analysts say the decree could sharpen contrasts between the two campaigns' economic platforms. Lula called the betting sector a "cancer" that he was obligated to "remove" from national life, pointing to reports linking gambling apps to household debt and money-laundering schemes. Industry groups warned the ban could push bettors toward unregulated offshore sites, undercutting the tax revenue the sector had begun generating for the government.

这项禁令出台于巴西人10月4日投票参加总统决选前一周多一点；民调显示双方势均力敌。卢拉对阵的是极右翼候选人弗拉维奥·博索纳罗，后者延续其父雅伊尔·博索纳罗的政治运动。分析人士称，该法令可能更加凸显两场竞选经济平台的差异。
Brazil Heads to Deadlocked Election Under Supreme Court Cloud Brazil enters its October 4 presidential election with the Supreme Federal Court mired in its worst institutional crisis since the return to democracy.

The releases coincide with growing international pressure for the country to hold elections.
卢拉称博彩行业是“有责任从国家生活中清除”的“癌症”，并指出有报告将赌博应用与家庭债务和洗钱计划联系起来。行业组织警告称，禁令可能促使赌徒转向不受监管的境外网站，从而削弱该行业已经开始为政府带来的税收收入。
