The measure aims to reinforce the federal government’s commitment to transparency and regulatory integrity by publishing documents related to gambling licensing
Brazil’s Ministry of Finance is set to release more than 25,000 documents related to the country’s regulated online betting and gaming market, which opened in January 2025.
The Ministry will proactively disclose all completed processes related to the authorization of active companies in Brazil’s betting and gaming sector.
The announcement was made yesterday by Finance Minister Dario Durigan, alongside Daniele Cardoso of the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting at the Ministry of Finance, with more than 25,000 documents to be made publicly available on the Ministry’s website.
Minister Durigan said the disclosure of the proceedings represents a premise in the federal government’s transparency policy.
“My commitment, like President Lula’s commitment, is to provide transparency,” said Durigan in a press conference Monday. “This government is not a government of secrecy, it is not a government that intends to hoard information and withhold information from people. Therefore, in the coming days, all proceedings concerning companies regulated by the SPA that have been concluded will be widely publicized.”
The disclosure will require prior redaction of personal data and confidential information.
The Ministry said that this will preserve privacy without compromising transparency regarding the analyses carried out by the public administration.
A task force has been established in partnership with the Comptroller General of the Union to accelerate the availability of documents.
The documents will be published on the official website of the Ministry of Finance as they are processed.
The SPA also announced that it has reinforced its monitoring capabilities around the FIFA World Cup 2026, with a specific focus on commercial communication and sports betting marketing.
This will involve participation from public prosecutors, consumer protection agencies, Procons (Brazilian consumer protection agencies), and other members of the National Consumer Protection System to reinforce compliance with gambling advertising rules.
“We are reinforcing monitoring and oversight actions during the competition period,” said Cardoso. “We have already instructed regulated agents on the need for strict adherence to the responsible gaming rules stipulated in the legislation, and we will intensify the monitoring of the campaigns.”
In this regard, the regulator will hold its first responsible gaming seminar next week on June 16.
