Brazil.- August 8, 2025 – www.zonadeazar.com  In January 2025, Brazil’s betting market saw a 76% drop in financial transactions, largely due to the implementation of new regulatory rules. This figure compares to the 2024 monthly average.

By February, the market responded positively with a 90%+ increase, signaling a quick adjustment. In March, the decline eased to 22% year-over-year.

Strong outlook for 2025

Betting volume is expected to grow by 20% to 30% by the end of the year. Brazil’s iGaming market, driven by strong regulation, technology adoption, and localized marketing, is projected to exceed US$4 billion by 2029.
