Global online gaming operator Stake has been granted a preliminary injunction by Brazil’s São Paulo Federal Court on Thursday, following a request from its Brazilian platform, Stake Brazil, to continue its gaming operations until 25 October.

According to UOL News, Stake was granted the decision by Judge Cristiane Farias Rodrigues dos Santos in the Ninth Federal Civil Court of São Paulo. The judge argued that the Brazilian government ultimately could not suspend Stake’s operations without giving a “reasonable deadline” beforehand.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula) announced a ban on online gambling last month after signing Provisional Measure 1,394/2026 on 25 September.
