Stake Forced Offline Again as Brazil Court Overturns Betting Ban Reprieve

Stake's brief return to Brazil's online gambling market has ended after a federal appeals court overturned an injunction that temporarily protected the operator from the country's betting ban. Stake's reprieve from President Lula's gambling ban proved short lived.

The reversal came just two days after a São Paulo federal judge granted Stake temporary protection from the ban, allowing it to resume operations until October 25.
