A TRF3 president’s decision to suspend the injunction allowing CDA Gaming to operate is due to take effect when the company is notified on Monday 9 November, the columnist wrote. The column says Casa de Apostas, described as the country’s only regulated betting operator still operating, will then go offline and return customers’ balances to their deposit accounts; the court decision also concerns the company’s authorisation.
Casa de Apostas is expected to go offline at 9am on 9 November when it is notified of a TRF3 decision suspending CDA Gaming's injunction, an opinion column on a Brazilian betting industry site said. The columnist said customer balances would be returned by that time to the accounts from which deposits were made.
TRF3 president Luis Antonio Johonsom di Salvo suspended the injunction on 6 November, having previously suspended Stake's injunction in October, the columnist said. The columnist said CDA Gaming's judicial authorisation would remain valid until notification and described Casa de Apostas as Brazil's only regulated betting operator still operating.
The columnist said licences had fallen when provisional measure 1.394/2026 took effect on 25 October. The columnist argued that the prohibition would push people who want to bet towards unlicensed sites. The columnist said Congress still had to consider the measure and the STF had yet to rule on challenges to it.
