Brazil’s ongoing failure to pass new gambling legislation has created a void that the country’s unauthorized operators are only too happy to fill.

This week, the Rio de Janeiro-based O Globo newspaper reported that the illegal operators behind the popular ‘jogo do bicho’ (animal game) lottery have branched out into sports betting to take advantage of the growing excitement over next month’s kickoff of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Jogo do bicho traditionally offers players a selection of animal pictures, each one associated with four numbers. If one of these numbers matches the last two digits of the official state lottery drawings, the ticket is a winner.

O Globo claims jogo do bicho operators are now offering a couple sports betting variants, including one called Lotto do Bicho. It’s essentially parlay wagering, presenting a sheet with a list of football fixtures from local leagues to European matches, on which bettors can pick one team to win or the match to end in a draw.
