I don't understand why everyone went after the clickbait-ish title of that article and continues to say closed and shutting down!

Coz people are lazy, and stupid. Most of poster here read only topic name, and quickly rush there to post their shitty comment only get one more post over weekly post amount for signature.

The topic title doesn’t actually say the gambling industry is banned, and yeah, it’s true they shut down 2,000 online gambling sites or restricted access to them. But for those who didn’t read the article, it might look like gambling’s totally banned. Really, these are just numbers, and it doesn’t take away gamblers' options, since plenty of casinos are still operating legally and following the rules.

They still allowed online gambling, but those who have fully cooperated with the regulations, and those 2000 are not and are illegal that's why the government closes them down for good. So yes, you are correct that gambling is not totally ban, but it will make it harder for gamblers I guess as the government will have to make sure that their citizens are not going to be addicted and for those casinos to follow the regulations imposed, otherwise, one mistakes will cost them a lot.

And I do agree that it is very hard to curb gambling by the government, unless it's really authoritative and doesn't give power to the people. So I would consider Brazilians still lucky as they can continue to gambling, albeit, they have to minimized it at some point.
