Brasil: SPA Aims to Eradicate Illegal Betting by Year-End

Brazil.– September 10, 2025 – www.zonadeazar.com  Regis Dudena, head of the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA), emphasized that the agency’s top priority in the coming months is to intensify actions to eliminate illegal gambling operations in Brazil.

Overview

Speaking at a recent conference, Dudena underlined SPA’s mission to establish a regulated, transparent, and reliable market. The main goal, he explained, is to accelerate regulatory and enforcement measures to eradicate unlicensed operators before the end of 2025.

This statement comes as Brazil transitions into a new regulatory era, seeking to increase tax revenues, improve consumer protection, and strengthen the credibility of its betting and online gaming industry.

Strategies in motion

SPA is working with government agencies and international partners to implement a comprehensive action plan involving sanctions, monitoring, and technology-driven cooperation.

Planned measures

  • Blocking unauthorized sites through agreements with internet providers.
  • Payment restrictions for illegal operators via banks and fintechs.
  • Educational campaigns to raise public awareness about the risks of illegal gambling.
  • International cooperation for data sharing and regulatory strategies.

Expected impact

Eradicating illegal platforms will formalize the market and bring significant economic and social benefits.

Key outcomes

  • Increased tax collection allocated to sports and healthcare.
  • Fairer competition for licensed operators.
  • Higher consumer trust in the regulated system.
  • Reduced risks of money laundering and fraud.

Future outlook

Dudena confirmed that SPA will continue working intensively until December to reach this goal. If successful, Brazil will position itself as a regulatory benchmark in Latin America.

The government’s commitment is clear: to foster a safe, competitive, and responsible ecosystem.
