Lei 14.790/2023 — the federal "Bets Law"
License Scope
Fixed-odds sports betting, online casino, betting exchanges — nationwide, single authorization
License Term
5 years, non-transferable, covers up to 3 brands
License Fee
~BRL 30 million (verify current figure before quoting)
GGR Tax
~12% (legislative proposals to raise this — verify at build time)
Mandatory Payment Rail
PIX, bank transfer, or debit only — funds must move via a Brazil-based bank account
$ audit --market=brazil --check=kyc
> Static document upload only: FAILS SIGAP AUDIT
> Required: biometric liveness + Face Match
> Self-exclusion registry sync: must block within seconds, not hours
> Penalty for failure: up to R$2 billion + license revocation
> Built into every platform we ship for this market from spec one.

How It Ships

Four Steps To
A Compliant Launch

01

Regulatory & Payment-Rail Compatibility Check Week 1

We confirm exactly how SPA's requirements and PIX integration map onto your existing stack before writing a spec.

02

Compliance-First Architecture Weeks 2–3

KYC, self-exclusion sync, and Sigap reporting hooks designed in before a single game screen is built.

03

Build & Localization Weeks 4–9

Core platform build alongside Brazilian Portuguese localization and PIX-native payment flows.

04

Audit Readiness & Launch Week 10+

Documentation prepared for SPA review, with go-live support through the licensing timeline.

The Compliance-Ready Commitment — if a delivered platform fails a Sigap or SPA audit due to an engineering gap on our side, we fix it at no additional engineering cost.

Before You Ask

Brazil-Specific
Questions, Answered

We're technology specialists, not licensed legal counsel — we build the compliant infrastructure the application requires (KYC, reporting, payment rails) and coordinate directly with your Brazilian legal counsel on the filing itself.
Yes — PIX is built as the primary rail from spec one, not adapted from a platform designed around card payments.
The platform checks the national registry in real time and blocks deposit and bet actions within seconds — this is a hard requirement, not a configurable option, given the fines involved for failure.
SPA's stated review window is around 150 days from a complete application. We build in parallel with that review so your platform is audit-ready the moment the license clears, rather than starting development after approval.
Yes — the compliance layer is built as a modular region-specific module, so expanding to another regulated market means adding a module, not rebuilding the platform.
