Briefings

Brazilian online betting operators began reporting player balances to banks on October 7, 2026, totaling R$ 1.325 billion across approximately 26.5 million accounts. The government mandates that banks return these funds between October 9 and 14, 2026, with a voluntary withdrawal deadline of 23:59 on October 5. A significant portion of the unwithdrawn funds, totaling R$ 15.5 billion, are concentrated in accounts holding less than R$ 1.00, raising concerns about liquidity issues. The process involves transferring data via CPF and bank accounts before the final payout phase.
