The legislative caucus of Brazil’s Workers’ Party (PT) has submitted Bill PL-1808/2026, proposing an outright federal ban on “online gambling” to Congress.
The mandate, formally presented by PT deputy Pedro Uczai, calls for the full repeal of all laws and provisions governing online betting introduced under the Bets Law (PL 2626/2023), the regulatory regime in effect as of 1 January 2025.
The Proposed federal ban would extend across the entire gambling framework established by the Bets Regime as the text covers all functions related to operating an online gambling platform, including advertising, sponsorships, payment processing and any intermediary services linked to gambling activity.
