Brazilian Supreme Court suspends account closures for benefit recipients pending hearing
Supreme Court Justice Luiz Fux temporarily suspended requirements to block or close active betting accounts held by Bolsa Família and Benefício de Prestação Continuada recipients. The suspension remains in force until a conciliation hearing on 10 February 2026; the ban on new registrations remains, as do the other measures in the earlier decision.
The ruling temporarily limits operators’ account-closure obligations for two categories of benefit recipients while retaining the new-registration ban.
