SOFTSWISS Releases 2025 Edition of iGaming in Brazil Market Research
SOFTSWISS, a leading global provider of iGaming software, has released a new edition of the iGaming in Brazil Market Research, offering a detailed overview of the newly regulated Brazilian market in 2025. This guide provides operators with insights into licensing, regulatory compliance, and market trends as Brazil enters a new era of online gaming.
Brazil, the largest country in South America, has solidified its position as a high-potential iGaming market. With a population of over 218 million and a GDP of USD 2.33 trillion, the country is one of the fastest-growing economies globally. Digital adoption is also soaring, with over 86% of Brazilians actively using the internet and mobile penetration exceeding 97%.
Following the official launch of full iGaming regulation in January 2025, the market is expected to grow significantly, with projections estimating its value at USD 10 billion by 2029. To ensure sustainable industry development, the regulating body implemented strict compliance measures, player protection policies, and structured licensing frameworks.
The regulatory landscape in Brazil has undergone a substantial transformation, culminating in the enforcement of Law No. 14.790 in 2023, which formalised the market, and the establishment of the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA/MF) in 2024. From 1 January 2025, only licensed operators can legally provide online gaming and betting services.
Dario Leiman, Head of Business Development in Latin America at SOFTSWISS, commented on the early months following the regulatory changes: “The regulation of Brazil’s iGaming market has been one of the most significant industry milestones in recent years. While the new framework provides stability and legal clarity, operators must navigate a highly regulated environment with rigorous compliance requirements. The first months of 2025 have already highlighted key challenges, such as taxation structures and licensing complexities. However, such strict regulation also provides opportunities for well-prepared businesses to establish a strong presence in this market.”
The iGaming in Brazil Market Research is a vital resource for businesses looking to enter or expand in the regulated market. The report provides an explicit breakdown of the following critical aspects:
- Regulatory Compliance: Local ownership requirements, licensing processes and tax structures, including specific сosts and rates.
- Security and Data Protection: Mandatory measures like ISO 27001 certification, “bet.br” domain registration, and storing data within Brazil.
- Player Behaviour Trends: Preferences in online casino and sports betting, including game types and betting habits.
- Localisation Strategies: The importance of Brazilian Portuguese interfaces, mobile-first gaming, and local payment solutions such as PIX.
- Advertising and Payment Regulations: Compliance requirements, marketing restrictions, and the latest financial transaction rules.
As Brazil’s regulated iGaming market matures, operators must remain agile in adapting to legal developments and consumer expectations. With its extensive market knowledge and robust solutions, SOFTSWISS continues to help industry players achieve sustainable growth in the region.
Notably, Rubens Barrichello, Non-Executive Director for Latin America at SOFTSWISS, was actively involved in the research re-launch process. Leveraging his deep understanding of Brazilian consumer behaviour and his experience in fostering local partnerships, Rubens provided valuable insights into market localisation strategies and player engagement approaches, helping to ensure the report reflects the unique cultural and technological landscape of Brazil.

IBJR: Crackdown on Illegal Betting Critical to Success of Desenrola 2.0
The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has warned that the effectiveness of the financial protection measures included in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a strict crackdown on the illegal betting market.
In 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for only 0.46% of household consumption in the country — an extremely small share of the average Brazilian family budget — according to data from a study conducted by LCA Consultoria. This reinforces that the main driver of household indebtedness in Brazil continues to be the high cost of credit.
The IBJR emphasized that restricting access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to illegal platforms, which already handle around R$40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.
Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators — often linked to organized crime — from taking advantage of restriction windows to attract vulnerable consumers. This concern is heightened by the proximity of the FIFA World Cup, a period that naturally increases the volume of sports betting activity, as well as by the potential loss of R$10.8 billion in tax revenue if consumption shifts to the underground market.
IBJR reiterates that real consumer protection and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector. The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, the strengthening of responsible gaming practices, and a strategic offensive against illegal websites, ensuring that entertainment takes place exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly regulated ecosystem.
