Find out what it takes to build a gaming website in Brazil

If you already own or are planning to launch a gaming website in Brazil, you likely have many questions about what is required to operate in the country’s market. With regulation now in place and the adaptation period officially closed, around 159 betting sites are fully authorized to operate in Brazil. 

These companies use the exclusive “.bet.br” domain, created to clearly identify licensed platforms, and are already capitalizing on the opportunities in Brazil’s new legal and competitive gaming landscape, according to G1.

 

Betting houses have also become major sponsors in Brazilian football: “bets” now feature their brands on the jerseys of all 20 clubs in the Brazilian Championship Série A. According to a report published by UOL, data from the Central Bank indicates that betting transactions in Brazil could reach up to R$30 billion per month in 2025, highlighting the massive economic potential of this fast-growing market.

 

With the approval of Law 14.790/2023 and the establishment of the Ministry of Finance’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting, followed by more than ten regulatory ordinances issued throughout 2024, Brazil has built a solid and comprehensive regulatory framework for the betting sector.

 

These rules increase legal security for both operators and bettors by enforcing measures such as: identification via CPF (Brazilian taxpayer registry), facial recognition, strict financial flow monitoring, a ban on credit for betting, and age-restriction controls to prevent underage access. These actions are designed to prevent money laundering, protect personal data, and ensure responsible practices across the industry.
