More about gambling regulation
As of January 1, 2025, Brazil is launching a regulated iGaming market.
In Brazil, the process of blocking illegal operators is efficient and takes 1-2 days. The SPA sends a request to ANATEL, which then sends lists of illegal domains to more than 21,000 operators and ISPs throughout the country.
About blocking and liability
High
Legislation:
New amendments and drafts (PL 2.985/2023 and others) impose severe restrictions on advertising and sponsorship
The activity of the authorities:
High
Risk of harassment of non-residents:
Low/Medium
The risk in entering the country:
Low
Risk of extradition to the country:
Medium
Precedents (against non-residents):
Yes (AGU requests to platforms, removal of advertisements)
Comment on the level of risk:
Brazil is increasing restrictions on advertising and limiting the participation of athletes/influencers in promotional activities. For foreign arbitrators, the risk of criminal prosecution is low, but commercial and reputational risks and ad blocking are real. The risk of extradition to the country is medium - serious case requests from Europe and the US are possible.

What sparks the interest?
How much is spent per month?
No matter how you look at it, the country's government is realizing the economic benefits of legalizing iGaming. In just a few years, bookmakers have become the main entertainment for Brazilians who love soccer and everything related to it.
The concern of the country's president about the negative consequences of iGaming legalization for citizens is quite justified. For example, the Central Bank presented data according to which the poorest families in Brazil, who receive state benefits to maintain at least a minimum standard of living, spent more than $550 million on betting in August 2024 alone.
Therefore, Brazil is urgently taking radical measures in creating a safe environment for local players. On the one hand, the authorities' actions are generally justified, as they are aimed at protecting the country's citizens.
On the other hand, in this race, officials forget about no less important participants in this story - licensees, who cannot calmly wait for the opening of the sector and are constantly on guard in anticipation of new strict and sometimes absurd rules and restrictions. Some of them simply do not see further prospects for their activities and decide to leave the market.
It turns out that the sleeping giant of the world gambling market creates extremely unfavorable conditions for legal operators, clearly contributing to the rapid growth of the shadow sector. In addition, the market is already overcrowded with iGaming companies, and in such conditions they will face a serious struggle for a place under the sun.
