Caixa Econômica Federal has put its planned BetCaixa launch back until at least 2027, after cancelling its intended 2026 launch. The bank said it had signed no operating contracts and had no obligation to pay fines; Caixa Loterias holds a federal fixed-odds betting licence valid until 31 December 2029.
Caixa Econômica Federal president Carlos Vieira announced plans to launch the bank’s online betting platform by the end of November, while its continuation is due for discussion with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. TQJ chief executive Leonardo Gadelha Sampaio argued in commentary that Caixa Bet’s entry fits a wider international pattern; he said Caixa Loterias, a separate company, received a licence from SPA.
Caixa Econômica Federal launched its Caixa Bet sports betting and online games platform in Brazil on 28 October, according to the report.

Caixa Loterias obtained the online betting licence from the SPA, the report said.
