Brazil.– October 28, 2025 – www.zonadeazar.com The Ministry of Sports and the Secretariat of Prêmios e Apostas launched a public consultation to define how betting-related funds will be allocated to sports, infrastructure, and social initiatives across Brazil.
Overview
Brazil’s government initiated a national consultation process to determine the criteria for distributing the resources generated by regulated sports betting and online gaming.
Under Law 14.790/2023, a portion of betting revenue must be directed to sports development, athlete training, and community programs.
Details / Context
The current regulation earmarks 3 % of total betting revenue for sports.
The new proposal would prioritize Olympic and Paralympic sports, grassroots projects, and modernization of sporting infrastructure.
Funds would be consolidated into a single national account, overseen by the Ministry of Sports with transparency and public auditing tools.
The consultation will remain open until November 12, 2025, allowing stakeholders to submit contributions online.
Officials emphasized that betting regulation is not only an economic reform but also a mechanism to generate social return through sports and education.
Future Outlook
The outcome of this consultation will shape the credibility of Brazil’s betting framework.
Clear and auditable fund management will be essential to build public trust and demonstrate that gaming revenue can deliver tangible community benefits.
For Latin America, Brazil’s initiative may serve as a blueprint for linking iGaming taxation to sustainable sports financing.
