Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed Temporary Measure No. 1394 on Sept. 25, immediately prohibiting fixed-odds sports betting and online casino operations, promotion, intermediation and advertising, including by offshore platforms serving Brazilian users. The measure threatens Brazilian football clubs that received about US$200 million, or 34% of their commercial revenue in 2025, from betting sponsorships; 14 of the 20 Brasileirao clubs list betting companies as their main sponsors. New deposits were banned immediately, users must withdraw balances by 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 5, and licensed websites and applications must close at midnight on Oct. 6, while the Senate has 120 days to decide whether to convert the measure into law.
