Brazil Congress extends betting ban deadline to early March
Brazil’s Congress has extended until early March its deadline for considering Provisional Measure No. 1,394/2026, which suspended online betting. An analysis on a Brazilian betting industry site found that three of the 25 committee members had filed 20 amendments seeking to soften the measure, with 94 amendments still active. The joint committee has not yet been installed and must report before plenary votes.
The extension prolongs uncertainty for operators while lawmakers consider amendments that could change Brazil’s betting restrictions.
