Brazil remains in the fixed-odds betting shutdown transition under MP 1.394/2026, effective 25 September. The measure prohibits fixed-odds sports betting and online games, new deposits and new authorisations. The published government timetable required voluntary withdrawals by 5 October at 23:59 and website/app unavailability from 6 October; the Senate dates the formal authorisation-extinction deadline to 25 October. This is the statutory timetable, not confirmation of operator-by-operator implementation or completed restitution. The Planalto index still lists the measure as pending in Congress. The separately dated SPA register is historical evidence, not a current active-market count.

Operating rules at a glance
A structured, source-linked view of the rules that shape entry and operation in Brazil.
MP 1.394/2026 prohibits fixed-odds sports betting and online games. New authorisations and incoming bettor funds are barred from publication. Sites must close after ten days; authorisations expire after thirty days. Existing balances and unsettled bets are subject to its restitution rules.
The official Planalto index records publication in the 25 September 2026 extra edition of the DOU and lists the measure as pending in Congress. Parliamentary consideration does not itself defer the publication-date effect.
The earlier SPA framework began national authorised operation on 1 January 2025, allowed up to three brands per authorisation and used .bet.br domains. That overview describes the preceding framework; the new measure governs the shutdown transition.
The SPA page updated on 9 October labels its table as authorisations before MP 1.394/2026. The complete table re-read on 25 October retains 85 authorisation rows, 82 unique CNPJs, 188 brand rows, 185 defined domains and three pending domains. These are historical register units, not a current active-market count.
The separately published judicial list retains two companies and six brand-domain rows. Its listed court proceedings are distinct from administrative authorisations; inclusion is not evidence of an exemption from MP 1.394/2026.
The SPA company table identifies entities, CNPJs, brands, domains and authorisations without a brand-by-brand product breakdown. The previous online-games FAQ also excludes skill poker and peer-to-peer games from fixed-odds online games; no broad poker permission is inferred.
The preceding framework barred under-18 participation. Its provisions remain relevant to activity during authorisation validity and remaining wind-down obligations under article 29 of MP 1.394/2026; age 18 does not imply a continuing right to open or fund a betting account.
The federal service page continues to describe blocking access and targeted betting advertising across SPA-authorised platforms. It gives up to 72 hours from the operator identifying the request. This is a player-protection service, not evidence of continuing betting permission.
SPA guidance describes authentication on access, renewed authentication after 30 minutes of inactivity, and location checks before the first bet and every 30 minutes. These controls describe the prior operating framework; they do not override the shutdown transition.
MP 1.394/2026 prohibits fixed-odds advertising, marketing and sponsorship, with ten days to remove existing materials. The July risk-warning rules no longer establish permission to advertise. Article 17 contains a limited exception for previously published content carrying incidental advertising.
The Ministry of Justice notice updated on 29 September required voluntary withdrawals through 5 October 2026 at 23:59 and website/app unavailability from 6 October. The Senate dates the formal authorisation-extinction deadline to 25 October. This review records that statutory deadline, not operator-by-operator implementation, completed restitution or a precise expiry instant. New bettor deposits remain barred; other legally authorised lottery modalities are outside the measure’s fixed-odds scope.

Betting prohibition and wind-down
Provisional Measure 1,394/2026 prohibits fixed-odds sports betting and online games from publication on 25 September 2026. New deposits and authorisations are barred. The government timetable required betting websites and apps to become unavailable from 6 October; the Senate dates the statutory authorisation-extinction deadline to 25 October. This timetable does not confirm operator-by-operator implementation or completed restitution. These earlier SPA records support identification and wind-down research, not current permission to offer betting. The measure remains subject to congressional review.
An administrative row records an earlier SPA authorisation. A court-order row records the judicial basis described in the separate SPA file. Neither establishes an exception to the new measure, current betting permission, domain availability or an exact product mix.

Is online casino legal in Brazil?
MP 1.394/2026 also prohibits fixed-odds online games. Earlier certification and authorisation rules describe the preceding framework and do not establish current casino availability or an exemption for a listed brand. The SPA company table does not identify each brand's product mix; no broad poker permission is inferred.
Who regulates gambling in Brazil?
The SPA retains supervision and enforcement responsibilities for earlier authorised activity and remaining wind-down obligations. Its historical licensing material must be read alongside MP 1.394/2026; new fixed-odds authorisations are barred.
What is the minimum gambling age in Brazil?
The preceding fixed-odds framework set a minimum age of 18. That historical threshold does not establish permission to open, fund or use a betting account during the prohibition and wind-down.
