Regulatory Landscape

Brazil's gambling regulation — what you need to know

Brazil formally regulated fixed-odds sports betting and gaming. Here's what changed and what it means for payment processing.

Key regulatory facts for gambling operators in Brazil

January 2025: Brazil's regulated sports betting and iGaming market officially opened. Licensed operators can now accept real-money bets legally.
SPA licence required: Operators must hold a Brazilian SPA (Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas) licence or partner with a licensed local entity to process BRL legally.
PIX is the preferred method: Over 90% of Brazilian online transactions now use PIX. Any gambling platform without PIX is at a severe competitive disadvantage.
Payment processors withdrawing: Most mainstream international processors still won't touch Brazilian gambling. FalconPay is one of the few processors actively approving this vertical.
FalconPay works with licensed operators: We process for operators with a valid Brazilian gaming licence or those operating in an internationally licensed jurisdiction targeting Brazil.

What Brazilian gambling operators say

"We launched in Brazil 3 months before the regulation went fully live. FalconPay was the only processor willing to work with us. We were ready on day one while competitors scrambled for payment solutions."

LM
Lucas M.
CEO, Sports Betting Platform · São Paulo

"PIX deposit success went from 81% with our previous processor to 98.5% with FalconPay. In Brazil, that delta is millions of reais per month in recovered revenue."

AC
Ana C.
VP Payments, iGaming Group · Rio de Janeiro

"The Boleto integration surprised us — 12% of our Brazilian deposits come through Boleto. That's a segment we would have completely missed without FalconPay."
