Brazilian sports ministry sets rules for lottery and betting funds
Brazil’s Ministry of Sports issued Ordinance No. 94, published on 14 October 2025, setting allocation, oversight and reporting rules for sports funds from numerical prediction lotteries and fixed-odds betting. States and the Federal District must submit separate annual spending plans by 20 November; use of the funds can begin only after the ministry’s Permanent Regulatory and Monitoring Commission decides, within 15 days.
The ordinance sets spending-plan and financial-reporting requirements for public entities receiving lottery and betting funds.
