Frequently asked questions
What changed for online casinos in Brazil in September 2026?
Provisional Measure 1,394, announced on 25 September 2026, prohibited the covered fixed-odds activity and advertising, including the online games formerly regulated under that framework. It remained before Congress in early November. The date and scope matter when reading an earlier approval or promotion.
What does a former .bet.br address establish?
It helps identify a website used under the former federal system. Check the dated authorisation and company behind the address to match an old account or transaction. The suffix alone does not establish permission under the later provisional measure.
Does an old game certificate allow the studio's games to be offered now?
A certificate relates to the identified game or system within its applicable requirements. It does not grant a casino operating permission or extend a former authorisation through the wind-down.
What dates matter for recovering a former account balance?
The public transition process set 5 October as the end of the initial voluntary withdrawal window. Eligible unresolved balances moved to the later process involving Caixa from 14 October where it applied. Retain the original account and payment references and verify an actual receipt separately.
How do I distinguish a Pix refund from casino cashback?
Look at the sender, reference, amount and entry type. A Pix return may return a payment or settle an eligible balance. Cashback is a promotional calculation. Record each separately even if the amount matches.
Why are foreign game providers and authorities still listed?
The entries describe the international casino reviews in our catalogue. Their presence can help identify a studio or old operator record. It does not establish the current status of a Brazilian offer.
What should I retain if a former account is inaccessible?
Keep the exact website, operating company, original BRL balance, dates and bank receipts. Preserve any support case number or confirmation of return. These records help identify the appropriate process without creating a new account.
Where do I check whether the measure has changed?
Use the dated legislative status for Provisional Measure 1,394 and the relevant transition notices. An old casino review or a page still visible in Portuguese cannot resolve a later legal change.
