Brazil betting and online games: reassess the former launch route

Brazil's Ministry of Finance explains that Provisional Measure 1,394 of September 25, 2026 prohibits fixed-odds betting activity, including sports betting and online games within its scope. The explanation covers offers from abroad to people in Brazil and state or district authorizations; other legally authorized lottery categories are excluded. Read the current Ministry explanation.

Send your market brief

As reviewed on October 17, 2026, a new project should not rely on the former SPA authorization process as a current permission to launch. Older application instructions can remain online after a material rule change.

Reassess a pending launch before further commitments

Identify which parts of the proposal fall within the measure, what has already been contracted and which costs remain avoidable. Obtain a current legal assessment of the measure's status and any applicable decisions before changing the recommendation.

Do not replace the former federal route with an assumed offshore or state workaround. The legal basis needs to support the actual product and audience.

Treat existing customer balances as a separate workstream

The Ministry's explanation includes an operational closure and balance-return transition. An existing operator therefore needs a different brief from a prospective entrant: customer-funds reconciliation, records, communications and the applicable closure obligations require attention.

SuperBluOrange can discuss the technical scope of a legally assessed transition or alternative product. Send the current operating situation and supporting advice. This guide does not present the superseded launch process as an available Brazil casino package; the regulatory status must be rechecked before action.
