Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) says authorities have blocked nearly 47,000 illegal betting websites since provisional measure MP 1.394 took effect on 25 September 2026.
The reported pace is approximately 1,100 blocked domains per day.Enforcement implications
The measure targets the operation, offering, brokering and advertising of online betting and gaming platforms outside the permitted framework. The latest figure highlights the scale of domain-level enforcement, although mirror sites and replacement domains remain a practical challenge.
For licensed operators, the crackdown may reduce unlicensed competition and redirect demand towards authorised brands. The commercial impact will depend on whether blocking is sustained and supported by payment controls, advertising enforcement and monitoring of new domains.
