Brazil law empowers authorities to block accounts linked to illegal betting
Brazil’s Law No. 15,358/2025 gives authorities powers to block accounts and stop transactions linked to unauthorised fixed-odds betting, according to the published legislation. Financial and payment institutions must also share information on suspected fraud, while the Central Bank and Ministry of Finance will set operational rules, including for Pix transactions.
Payment providers and betting businesses face new blocking, transaction-prevention and information-sharing requirements in Brazil.
