Brazil: Bill to restrict registration on online betting platforms was introduced to Chamber of Deputies

On 1 October 2025, the Bill to restrict the registration on online betting platforms was introduced to the Chamber of Deputies. The Bill also restricts the use of Natural Persons Register (CPF) numbers on online betting platforms by people in social vulnerability, income transfer beneficiaries, and individuals with gambling-related disorders. CPF is a unique taxpayer identification number issued by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service to individuals. The Bill applies to online betting platforms operating in Brazil. It requires them to verify users’ CPFs in real time through a national system managed by the Ministry of Finance and integrated with the CadÚnico database. Platforms must automatically block restricted users, cancel accounts, and submit quarterly reports to the Secretariat for Prizes and Betting. The Bill also establishes a national self-exclusion list allowing individuals to voluntarily block their access to betting for at least two years. Non-compliance may result in fines of up to 10% of gross revenue, temporary suspension, or licence revocation.
