Since December 2023, the online segment in Brazil is regulated by Law No. 14. 790/2023: It allows fixed rates and "online games" (virtual RNG products) with mandatory authorization by the Ministry of Finance through Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas (SPA). In May 2024, SPA published Portaria No. 722 with technical requirements for the platforms, and No. 827 set the procedure for obtaining authorization and a key deadline: companies operating at the time of the adoption of the law had to issue permission until the end of 2024, after January 1, 2025, sanctions are provided for work without authorization. In July 2024, Portaria No. 1207 specified the requirements for online games and live studios (randomness of the result based on the RNG, pre-announced payment tables, etc.). Payments in the regulated segment are tightened: only electronic bank transfers through institutions approved by the Central Bank (PIX/TED) are allowed; credit cards, cash and cryptocurrencies are banned. As a result, the "white" online market is built around authorized operators, compliance with SPA technical regulations and strict payment rules.
