The order allows Betsul, Casa de Apostas and Jogo Online to resume operations and requires restoration of the services needed to operate.
The order allows CDA Gaming’s three brands to operate while the court case continues.

The IBJR said its monitoring and economic simulation identified 60,477 suspected betting sites in Brazil, with data updated to 27 October. It estimated annualised clandestine-market GGR at R$56bn, up from R$27.9bn, but said the 101% increase was a simulation rather than a direct market measurement. The report also said 85 federal authorisations covering 82 companies expired on 25 October after a 30-day period.
The Brazilian Responsible Gambling Institute (IBJR) said its LegitBet monitoring system identified 60,477 suspected betting sites operating in Brazil after the federal government's provisional measure banned fixed-odds betting. The institute estimated that the clandestine market may have grown 101% since 25 September, with data updated to 27 October, according to the IBJR.
A media-reported review of 19 cases challenging Brazil’s provisional measure banning fixed-odds betting found no injunction currently in force to protect continued operations. The review said a temporary order for Stake Brazil had been suspended; the collective case brought by the National Association of Games and Lotteries is paused pending a Supreme Federal Court ruling.
An unidentified executive at an authorised betting operator provided an estimated 2025 market income statement, which reportedly puts public-sector receipts at R$10.1bn against R$3.9bn in net profit. The estimate starts from official GGR of R$37bn and excludes the R$30m authorisation payment per company and SPA-MF inspection fees.
An executive at a betting operator authorised by Brazil's Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA-MF) has sent an estimated 2025 income statement for the regulated market to a newsroom, on condition of anonymity. The estimate puts public-sector receipts at R$10.1bn against R$3.9bn in net profit for the sector, or R$2.58 to the state for every R$1 of operator profit. The figures are the executive's own estimates, built from the performance of that operator and starting from official gross gaming revenue (GGR) of R$37bn.
Speakers at an event organised by the Brazilian Association for Economic Freedom (ABLE) on 26 October discussed the effects of Brazil’s betting ban under Provisional Measure 1.394/2026. Participants argued that prohibition without effective enforcement could push bettors towards illegal operators; a Gamewiz Brasil executive said the regulated business faced a combined tax burden of about 40% of revenue.
Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting data put regulated-market GGR at R$36.9bn in 2025, according to the report. The report contrasts that figure with a government social-media claim of R$62bn in betting losses and says the latter draws on payment-flow estimates that include both authorised and illegal sites.
