Brazil’s National Association of Gaming and Lotteries met on July 31 to go over key details in a new draft ordinance for sports betting. The meeting brought together many members of the association to review work done ahead of time.
The draft will replace an existing rule, SPA/MF Ordinance No. 827/2024. That rule currently sets the standards for how the Ministry of Finance grants authorization to sports betting companies in Brazil.
Members used the meeting to talk through proposed changes, shared concerns, and how the new rules might affect licensed betting companies across the country.
Draft Proposal Introduces Stricter Authorization Requirements
The Ministry of Finance says the changes are built around three main goals. The first goal is to require stronger documentation to help prevent money laundering.
The second goal is to speed up how quickly regulators can check an operator’s financial standing. This includes reviewing where a company’s capital comes from during the licensing process.
The third goal is to build a base for more detailed rules going forward. Officials say this would help close information gaps between operators and regulators.
Together, these steps are meant to bring more transparency and consistency to how betting licenses are handled in Brazil.
