Medida Provisória No. 1,394, published on the night of 25 September, terminates federal and state fixed-odds betting authorisations within thirty days, with no refund of the grant fee. Bettors' balances go back by CPF, through the financial institutions. And part of what was announced during the day is not in the text.
The SPA's public consultation closes on 9 September. The text repeals Ordinance 827/2024 in full, replaces two grounds for denial with twelve, and reaches operators that are already licensed.
Law 15.358 turned the payment rail into the enforcement point for unlicensed betting. The National Monetary Council resolution that took effect on 28 August sets the clock: 24 hours to block, 24 to reject a transaction, 48 to report back.
Brazil's tax authority has implemented the OECD's CARF, revoked the 2019 regime and changed who reports. Foreign providers are captured by how they advertise; anyone operating offshore or on a decentralized platform now reports on their own account.
BCB Resolution No. 584 bars newly deposited funds from leaving for a foreign entity or self-custody wallet within 24 hours. Releasing early is discretionary — and requires a reasoned, documented decision. Effective January 1, 2027.
The Brazilian Central Bank will add to each infraction notification the hop depth at which a transaction sits along the fraud trail. Layering stops being invisible to whoever receives the notification — and the first-hop problem finally gets a number.
The coverage read Chainalysis's report as escalation. The data says otherwise — and the finding that deserved the headline is a different one: illicit flow doesn't spread out, it piles up in five addresses.
Screening answers a question about the address. What supervisors ask about is who stands behind it — two different questions, with answers that rarely line up.
The deadline cannot be extended and applies to firms already in operation. Those that fail to file have 30 days to wind down — and the clock is already running.
The meaningful shift isn't a new line item on the checklist. It's where the burden sits: what used to be "there was no way to know" becomes "there was a duty to know."
