Brazilian online poker legislation could be on the horizon thanks to a soccer star’s influence.
Brazilian soccer player, Neymar Jr., is a Team PokerStars pro, along with fellow soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo.
The two have paired together to promote the game worldwide, as PokerStars is attempting to attract more sports fans to online poker.
Neymar Jr’s international presence promoting PokerStars has convinced some Brazilian lawmakers to consider legalizing online poker and, perhaps, other forms of gambling.
The country banned most forms of gambling in 2007.
This led to a loss of nearly 340,000 jobs and more $5.2 billion in revenue.
For a country such as Brazil, that amount of money is hard to replace. The economy has been struggling for years and citizens are having a tough time finding jobs. The addition of online gambling could lead to an economic boom.
PokerStars, and other online poker sites, aren’t too concerned with the current state of the Brazilian economy.
They view Brazil as a profitable marketplace, even though so many citizens are struggling mightily financially.

The only question now is will enough lawmakers see the potential of legalizing gambling?

Brazil's budget crisis could be the catalyst to a bill passing to regulate online gaming in the country.
