The SPA is a Brazilian Ministry of Finance agency that oversees all betting and gaming policy in Brazil.
Brazil legalized online sports betting and casino in January 2025 and has flourished into one of the world's top 5 markets, according to many expert estimates. The potential is there for Brazil to reach the world's top 3 with time.
However, the SPA has a tough balance to wield – politicians in Brazil are constantly calling for taxation changes or even the banning of online casino.
On the other hand, estimates suggest Brazil already has a high percentage of illegal casinos operating without license fees or high taxation.
In March 2026, Daniele Correa Cardoso was named Secretary, succeeding Regis Dudena.
