Brazil Extends Online Betting Ban Until March 2027

Brazil’s online betting ban will remain in force until March 2027 after National Congress President Davi Alcolumbre granted a further 60-day extension to the provisional measure introduced by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The decision gives lawmakers additional time to examine the legislation, although the parliamentary committee responsible for reviewing it has yet to begin its work. Alcolumbre signed Act No. 118/2026 on November 10, with its publication in the Federal Official Gazette following on November 11.
