New Brazil Regulation Will Open Up Multibillion-dollar Betting & Gaming Market
Today’s new online gambling regulation in Brazil could lead to a market worth US$4.9 billion in annual revenue, according to a report by Vixio.
After many years of anticipation, Brazil’s Ministry of Finance today published an ordinance that will allow operators to apply for licences to offer sports betting and online gaming in a country of 200m+ people.
This could make Brazil the largest regulated online gambling jurisdiction globally, surpassing markets like Australia, France and New Jersey.
James Kilsby, and Chief Analyst for Vixio GamblingCompliance, said: “Today’s ordinance confirms that Brazil is set to complete its transition into a fully regulated market for online gambling over the course of the second half of 2024, with initial licences and new legal prohibitions becoming effective right at the start of next year.
“Operators will have to decide quickly whether and how to proceed, however, as only those who apply within 90 days seem assured of receiving their licence, if their applications are successful, before the market is launched. The industry will also be hoping for additional clarity from the regulator within this initial application period, with critical policy questions regarding local investment partners, permissible forms of online gaming and the scope of a prohibition on bonuses among several issues that are yet to be fully resolved.”

RubyPlay, an innovative B2B iGaming development studio, has rolled out its content offering with Kaizen Gaming brand Betano in Brazil, including a bespoke game featuring its award-winning Immortal Ways series built specifically for the 2024 Copa América.
The partnership sees Betano’s online casino offering add 90 of RubyPlay’s games, including fan-favourite titles Diamond Explosion 7s and Mayan Cache, alongside latest bespoke release Immortal Ways Betano, which celebrates the operator’s sponsorship of the major football tournament that takes place between June 20 and July 14 across the United States.
The integration will continue to strengthen RubyPlay’s position as a leading provider of quality online gaming titles in Brazil, with the studio’s diverse and immersive content already proving popular with players in the region. The provider also has plans to continue expanding into further global markets with Betano to accelerate their long-term growth strategy.
Betano has strong ambitions to increase its foothold in Brazil, as demonstrated recently after securing the rights as title sponsor of the country’s premier football league, Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. Partnering with RubyPlay underscores the operator’s commitment to providing high-quality entertainment to its customer base, as well as reaching new audiences.
Dr. Eyal Loz, Chief Product Officer at RubyPlay, said: “Collaborating with Betano is a thrilling new venture for us as we aim to grow our foothold in Brazil and the Latin American market at large.
“Coinciding the partnership with the launch of the latest instalment to our popular Immortal Ways series, Immortal Ways Betano Copa America, marks an exciting period and we are looking forward to seeing how Betano’s customer base interact with the bespoke title.”
