Brazil expands regulation and health responses to betting

Overview

Brazil’s multi-level strategy to manage the betting boom has expanded to include new revenue redirection laws, localized prevention policies, and intensified judicial scrutiny. In July 2026, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sanctioned Law 15.480, redirecting a portion of fixed-odds betting revenue to the Federal Police’s Funpol fund. Following a Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) decision, over 5 million people have been blocked from licensed platforms via the ‘Impedidos’ module in the Betting Management System (Sigap).

Legislative and political debates have intensified as the 2026 elections approach. While the market shows strong growth—with Bradesco BBI projecting a gross revenue of US$ 20 billion for 2026—economic concerns persist. A University of São Paulo (USP) study indicates betting platforms removed between R$ 120 billion and R$ 141 billion from the economy in 2025, representing up to 50% of the country’s annual growth. Consequently, presidential candidates are divided; four have proposed a total ban, though none have detailed plans to offset the estimated R$ 12.2 billion in lost tax revenue from 2025. Candidate Ronaldo Caiado has specifically proposed banning betting advertisements on television and social media.

Local and judicial enforcement continues to escalate. The city of Niterói recently issued a decree prohibiting betting advertisements in all public spaces to protect minors from compulsive gambling. Legally, the Public Ministry of Bahia has filed a civil action against three financial institutions—Nuoro Pay, Select Credit, and Cartos—for allegedly facilitating payments to illegal platforms. This follows previous injunctions in São Paulo and Minas Gerais regarding match-fixing and unauthorized use of football players' identities.
