Brazil has extended its provisional betting ban for another 60 days. The Brazil betting ban covers sports betting and online casino games. Congress now has more time to decide whether the restrictions become permanent.

• 60-day extension: Senate President Davi Alcolumbre extended Provisional Measure 1,394/2026. The decision was published on November 11. The restrictions remain in force while Congress reviews the measure.
• Betting restrictions: The measure prohibits sports betting and online casino operations in Brazil. It also covers overseas operators targeting Brazilian customers. Advertising and sponsorship are banned.
• Operator licences: Existing betting authorisations are affected by the measure. The original rules required licences to expire 30 days after September 25. Authorities are also barred from issuing new licences.
• Websites and payments: The Brazil betting ban includes blocking betting websites and financial transactions. Operators must return funds held in player accounts. New deposits are prohibited.
• Next steps: Congress must approve the measure for the restrictions to become permanent law. Provisional measures can remain effective for up to 120 days.
