On 25 September 2026, Brazil adopted Provisional Measure No. 1,394/2026, introducing a nationwide ban on fixed-odds betting, including sports betting and online games. The measure is effective immediately, subject to Congressional approval within 60 days, extendable by a further 60 days. Websites and apps need to go offline from 6 October, with player balances returned by financial institutions between 9 and 14 October.
Brazil is dropping its long-standing gambling ban after years of tight restrictions. Online sports betting and casino games now run under federal control through the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA).
The Senate is looking at laws to allow physical casinos and make ‘jogo do bicho’ – the popular numbers game – legal. This is a total shift from Brazil's old conservative stance and opens up opportunities in what used to be a completely closed market.
