Casino games are prohibited in Brazil. Poker, either land-based or online, is unregulated in Brazil as it is considered a game of skill and, therefore, falls outside of the scope of Decree-Law No. 3,688/1941 (the Misdemeanour Criminal Act of 1941 MCA). No specific regulation applies.
Sports betting in Brazil will be privatized by the country after the proposed decree by the Ministry of Economy was signed into law in August by President Jair Bolsonaro. Expectation now is that the legalization will be complete and launch in 2024.
