Regulation1 min read
SindiBets SP, AMIG and ABRAJOGO asked Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court to participate in a public hearing on Provisional Measure 1.394/2026. Judge Luiz Fux scheduled the hearing for 3 November in proceedings challenging the measure, which prohibits fixed-odds betting and cancels authorisations issued by the Ministry of Finance’s Betting and Prize Secretariat.
SindiBets SP, AMIG and ABRAJOGO have asked Brazil's Supreme Federal Court to let them participate in a public hearing on the country's fixed-odds betting ban. The groups represent sports betting and online gaming operators in São Paulo state, women in the gaming industry, and international gaming operators and suppliers, respectively.
Provisional Measure 1.394/2026, published on 25 September, orders the closure of companies authorised under Law 14.790. The measure prohibits the operation, offering, intermediation and advertising of fixed-odds betting, and cancels authorisations granted by the finance ministry's Betting and Prize Secretariat.
The groups' request was made in proceedings brought against the measure by the National Association of Games and Lotteries, ANJL. Following requests from prosecutors and ANJL, Judge Luiz Fux scheduled the hearing for 3 November at 10:00 in the Second Chamber's session room. The hearing allows for 26 participants, including parties that brought related actions, executive bodies, representative organisations and football clubs.
