Gaming operators active in Brazil must secure a licence by the end of 2024 or face penalties from 1 January 2025, according to the latest nominative ordinance published by the country’s government.

Normative Ordinance 827 was published in Brazil’s Official Diary of the Union on Tuesday (21 May), sets out the requirements for those hoping to secure sports betting and gaming licences in Brazil.

It kicks off an “adjustment period” in which gaming operators active in Brazil have until 31 December 2024 to comply with the regulatory framework for sports betting and igaming. Companies’ applications submitted within 90 days of Ordinance 827’s release will be prioritised for assessment.
