Nuevas reglas del CMN y SPA reorganizan el tablero del iGaming y las apuestas deportivas
Rafael Brunati y Celso BasĂlio, abogados de Silveiro Advogados especializados en mercados regulados, derecho corporativo y derecho de la competencia, analizan las recientes medidas adoptadas por el Consejo Monetario Nacional (CMN) de Brasil y la SecretarĂa de Premios y Apuestas (SPA/MF), asĂ como su impacto en la industria del iGaming y las apuestas deportivas.
En este artĂculo, examinan cĂłmo el nuevo marco regulatorio redefine los lĂmites entre las apuestas, los instrumentos financieros y los modelos emergentes de mercados digitales, al tiempo que refuerza la Ley N.Âș 14.790/2023 como pilar central de la regulaciĂłn del sector.
Por Rafael Brunati y Celso BasĂlio
El conjunto de medidas adoptadas recientemente por el Consejo Monetario Nacional (CMN) y la SecretarĂa de Premios y Apuestas del Ministerio de Hacienda (SPA/MF) representa un nuevo capĂtulo en la consolidaciĂłn regulatoria del mercado brasileño de iGaming y apuestas deportivas.
MĂĄs que una respuesta puntual a los llamados mercados predictivos, las iniciativas señalan un intento mĂĄs amplio de reorganizar los lĂmites entre apuestas autorizadas, instrumentos financieros y actividades consideradas irregulares en el paĂs.
La ResoluciĂłn CMN N.Âș 5.298/2026 prohibiĂł la oferta y negociaciĂłn de derivados vinculados a apuestas, eventos deportivos, juegos en lĂnea y temas polĂticos, electorales, culturales o de entretenimiento sin referencia econĂłmico-financiera.
En la misma lĂnea, la Nota TĂ©cnica SPA/MF N.Âș 2.958/2026 encuadrĂł las plataformas de mercados predictivos como explotaciĂłn ilegal de apuestas de cuota fija, lo que derivĂł en el bloqueo de decenas de plataformas por parte de la Anatel.
El movimiento refuerza de manera clara la centralidad de la Ley N.Âș 14.790/2023 como marco regulatorio exclusivo para la explotaciĂłn de apuestas de cuota fija en Brasil.
En la pråctica, el gobierno ha comenzado a delimitar con mayor precisión quién puede operar en este mercado y bajo qué condiciones.
Las plataformas que buscaban posicionarse como mercados financieros, contratos de eventos o estructuras tecnolĂłgicas alternativas pasaron a ser tratadas materialmente como operadores de apuestas.
El mensaje regulatorio es directo: si el producto compite por el mismo pĂșblico, utiliza una lĂłgica econĂłmica similar a las apuestas y conlleva riesgo asociado a eventos futuros, tiende a quedar dentro del perĂmetro regulatorio de la SPA.
Desde la Ăłptica regulatoria y de competencia, esto genera un efecto relevante para los operadores autorizados.
Las empresas que invirtieron en licencias, cumplimiento normativo, prevenciĂłn de lavado de dinero, integridad deportiva, polĂticas de juego responsable y estructura regulatoria dejan de competir con plataformas que operaban al margen de estas exigencias mediante encuadres jurĂdicos alternativos. Se produce asĂ un fortalecimiento indirecto del valor econĂłmico de la licencia regulatoria otorgada por la SPA.
Al mismo tiempo, este fortalecimiento viene acompañado de un aumento significativo de las obligaciones operativas y de cumplimiento.
Las recientes medidas tambiĂ©n reabren un debate importante sobre los lĂmites regulatorios de las llamadas betting exchanges y los modelos peer-to-peer.
La propia Nota TĂ©cnica SPA/MF N.Âș 2.958/2026 reconoce que la negociaciĂłn entre apostadores y la existencia de precios dinĂĄmicos no desnaturalizan necesariamente la condiciĂłn de apuesta de cuota fija. Esta interpretaciĂłn es relevante porque acerca los mercados predictivos a las estructuras de bolsas de apuestas ya previstas en la Ley N.Âș 14.790/2023.
Este punto podrĂa abrir espacio, en el futuro, para modelos regulados de betting exchange en Brasil, siempre que estĂ©n dentro del perĂmetro autorizado por la SPA.
Sin embargo, la regulaciĂłn operativa de este formato aĂșn no ha sido desarrollada por la autoridad, lo que mantiene un nivel importante de incertidumbre para los operadores interesados en innovaciĂłn de producto.
Desde otra perspectiva, las medidas tambiĂ©n tienden a generar una intensa judicializaciĂłn. Existen debates relevantes sobre los lĂmites de la competencia del CMN para restringir ciertos tipos de derivados, sobre la actuaciĂłn interpretativa de la SPA respecto a los mercados predictivos y sobre el bloqueo de plataformas sin orden judicial.
Independientemente del desenlace de estas disputas, lo cierto es que el mercado brasileño de iGaming y apuestas deportivas entra en una nueva fase.
La lĂłgica regulatoria deja de centrarse Ășnicamente en la autorizaciĂłn formal para operar y pasa a incorporar de forma mĂĄs intensa temas como integridad financiera, protecciĂłn de usuarios vulnerables, gobernanza de datos, trazabilidad de pagos y supervisiĂłn operativa continua.
El sector continĂșa creciendo, pero ahora dentro de un entorno significativamente mĂĄs sofisticado ây mĂĄs exigente. Para los operadores autorizados, esto representa simultĂĄneamente una barrera de entrada para competidores irregulares y un aumento relevante en los costos de cumplimiento. En un mercado cada vez mĂĄs regulado, la diferencia competitiva tiende a depender menos de la capacidad de ofrecer apuestas y mĂĄs de la capacidad de operar con seguridad regulatoria, integridad operativa y rĂĄpida adaptaciĂłn a las nuevas exigencias del Estado.

New CMN and SPA rules reorganize the iGaming and sports betting landscape in Brazil
Rafael Brunati and Celso BasĂlio, lawyers at Silveiro Advogados specializing in regulated markets, corporate law, and competition law, analyze the recent measures adopted by Brazilâs National Monetary Council (CMN) and the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA/MF) and their impact on the iGaming and sports betting industry.
In this article, they examine how the new regulatory framework reshapes the boundaries between betting, financial instruments, and emerging digital market models, while reinforcing Law No. 14,790/2023 as the central pillar of regulation in the sector.
ByRafael Brunati and Celso BasĂlio
The set of measures recently adopted by the National Monetary Council (CMN) and the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting of the Ministry of Finance (SPA/MF) marks a new chapter in the regulatory consolidation of Brazilâs iGaming and sports betting market.
More than a targeted response to so-called predictive markets, these initiatives signal a broader effort to redefine the boundaries between authorized betting activities, financial instruments, and operations considered irregular in the country.
CMN Resolution No. 5,298/2026 prohibited the offering and trading of derivatives linked to betting, sports events, online games, and political, electoral, cultural, or entertainment themes without a financial-economic reference.
In the same direction, SPA/MF Technical Note No. 2,958/2026 classified predictive market platforms as illegal fixed-odds betting operations, leading to the blocking of dozens of platforms by Anatel.
The move clearly reinforces Law No. 14,790/2023 as the exclusive regulatory framework for fixed-odds betting in Brazil.
In practice, the government has begun to draw a sharper line around who can operate in this market and under what conditions.
Platforms that previously positioned themselves as financial markets, event-based contracts, or alternative technological structures are now being materially treated as betting operators.
The regulatory message is direct: if a product targets the same audience, uses similar economic logic to betting, and involves risk linked to future events, it is likely to fall within the SPAâs regulatory perimeter.
From a competitive and regulatory standpoint, this produces a meaningful effect for licensed operators. Companies that have invested in licensing, compliance, anti-money laundering controls, sports integrity, responsible gaming policies, and regulatory infrastructure are no longer competing with platforms operating outside these requirements under alternative legal interpretations.
This indirectly strengthens the economic value of the license granted by the SPA.
At the same time, this strengthening comes with a significant increase in operational and compliance obligations.
The recent measures also reopen an important discussion on the regulatory limits of so-called betting exchanges and peer-to-peer models.
SPA/MF Technical Note No. 2,958/2026 itself acknowledges that betting between users and the existence of dynamic pricing do not necessarily alter the nature of fixed-odds betting.
This interpretation is relevant because it brings predictive markets closer to exchange-style betting structures already contemplated under Law No. 14,790/2023.
This point could, in the future, open space for regulated betting exchange models in Brazil, provided they fall within the SPAâs authorized perimeter. However, operational rules for such formats have not yet been defined by the regulator, leaving a significant area of uncertainty for operators seeking product innovation.
From another perspective, these measures are also likely to generate substantial litigation.
There are important debates regarding the limits of the CMNâs authority to restrict certain types of derivatives, the SPAâs interpretative role regarding predictive markets, and even the blocking of platforms without judicial orders.
Regardless of the outcome of these disputes, the fact is that Brazilâs iGaming and sports betting market is entering a new phase.
Regulatory logic is no longer focused solely on formal authorization to operate, but increasingly incorporates issues such as financial integrity, protection of vulnerable users, data governance, payment traceability, and continuous operational supervision.
The sector continues to grow, but now within a significantly more sophisticatedâand more demandingâenvironment. For licensed operators, this simultaneously creates a barrier to entry for unregulated competitors and increases compliance costs.
In an increasingly regulated market, competitive advantage is likely to depend less on the ability to offer bets and more on the capacity to operate with regulatory security, operational integrity, and rapid adaptation to new state requirements.
