The Philippines overtook Brazil and India in online gaming brand search demand in September, according to analytics platform Blask. Its index rose 87% year on year and 8% from August, while Brazil’s fell 31% year on year and 9% month on month. Blask measures search interest, not gambling spending, and its revenue estimates still put Brazil ahead.
Demand for domestic online gaming in Brazil fell across three successive Fridays from 25 September, citing Blask. The government introduced a provisional restriction measure on that date. Offshore demand remained steady, increasing offshore providers’ share of the market.
It was reported that Brazil’s provisional measure 1.394/2026, published on 25 September, may shift bettors towards unlicensed sites and undermine the regulated market’s self-exclusion system. The report says the measure ends betting-sector allocations to the Ministry of Health, which received R$ 45.7 million in 2025 and R$ 27.8 million in the first half of 2026.
BNLData has argued that Brazil's provisional measure 1.394/2026, published on 25 September, may push bettors towards unlicensed sites and undermine the regulated market's self-exclusion system. The measure ends betting-sector allocations to the Ministry of Health, the outlet said.
Blask estimates Brazil’s ban on licensed online gambling could push approximately 21.6 million bettors towards offshore platforms. Its report uses consumer behaviour observed following India’s August 2025 prohibition on real-money online gaming.
Reportedly, Blask research connects continued offshore gambling website use in India after its ban with emerging risks following Brazil’s betting ban. The research draws lessons for Brazil from India’s experience.
Blask, an iGaming analytics platform, has published a study comparing India's experience after its August 2025 real-money gaming ban with Brazil's first week after President Lula signed Provisional Measure 1.394 on 25 September, the company said. The study used India's ban as a precedent and Brazil as a control market, then tracked Brazil's own market after the measure.
