Analysis challenges Brazil measure’s effect on betting safeguards
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
The report argues 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 article 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.
Why it matters
The measure may affect access to regulated self-exclusion and remove a funding source for gambling-related prevention and treatment.
