ABRAJOGO director warns Brazil betting shutdown could affect investment
ABRAJOGO director of government relations Aldi Almeida warned that Provisional Measure No. 1.394/2026 could affect legal certainty and investment in Brazil’s regulated betting and online gaming market. The measure took effect on 25 September, and the shutdown of operations began on 6 October, according to the report; the source says 85 authorisations involved R$2.55bn in licence payments.
