In Brazil, land-based casinos remain prohibited: the historical Decree-Law No. 9 is in force. 215/1946, and the current reform of 2023-2025 legalized only the online segment (bets and "online games"), without creating a mode for offline. Since 2022, Congress has been promoting a package on the legalization of casinos and bingo (PL 442/1991 → PL 2. 234/2022), which offers integrated casino resorts; however, in July 2025, the Senate vote was again postponed, and by October 2025 the project is only ready to be put to a vote, without adoption. In practice, game demand goes into online formats under law 14. 790/2023, and the tourism industry is waiting for the final decision on offline casinos.
