From uncertainty to opportunity: Why Brazil’s gaming market is still a strategic priority

The Brazilian Senate’s postponement of the land-based gambling bill has introduced some uncertainty around the future of the country’s gaming market. However, the market believes this represents a pause — not a conclusion — in Brazil’s long-anticipated journey toward comprehensive gaming reform. If passed, the bill would have legalised and regulated land-based casinos, bingo halls, jogo do bicho (instant-win games), and horse racing betting for the first time since a federal prohibition was enacted in 1946.

That said, opportunities for game developers in this exciting territory remain substantial. The legalization of online casinos and Lottery at the start of 2025 is expected to contribute to 38% of gross gambling revenue by the end of the year — proving that the digital channel alone presents a lucrative opening for those ready to move. In parallel, states such as Paraná and Paraíba have moved forward independently to regulate and launch their own state-run lotteries, adding further momentum and clarity to the evolving regulatory landscape.

The postponement of the land-based bill follows the release of the first economic report of Brazil’s regulated online betting industry, launched in early 2025 under the Bets framework. According to the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA), the federal market generated R$3bn (approx. €520m) in tax revenue during just the first five months of 2025 — a clear indicator of the fiscal and commercial weight of the regulated online gambling sector. With projected annual revenue of R$19.5 billion once land-based gaming is approved, Brazil is poised to become one of the most important jurisdictions in Latin America — and a strategic priority for game developers.
