Brazil is the region's largest market with a GDP of about $2.18 trillion in 2024 and a GDP per capita of ~ $10.3 thousand (World Bank estimates). In 2024-2025 the demand for online games is supported by the PIX payment infrastructure: in 2024, 68.7 billion transactions passed through it, and some days set records for the volume and number of transactions. The regulated segment is formed around SPA/Ministry of Finance authorizations: the official register of companies admitted to fixed rates and online games is regularly updated (status by 10. 10. 2025 - the list of active authorizations is published on the SPA portal). According to the Ministry of Finance, in the first half of 2025, 17.7 million residents made bets; in parallel, over 15 thousand illegal sites were blocked - which indicates a flow of demand into the "white" circuit. The administrative framework and deadlines for entering the legal market are set by SPA orders No. 827/2024 and others, after which sanctions are provided for work without authorization. In total: a huge macroeconomic base + mass non-cash PIX = high monetization potential with tightening compliance and clearing the channel from "gray" operators.
