Brazil's Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA), part of the Finance Ministry, has published its periodic overview of the regulated fixed-odds betting market, covering January 1 to March 31, 2026.
The figures come from operators' reporting through SIGAP, the SPA's betting management system, and are meant to give a data-driven view of how the market is evolving.
In the quarter, 15.2 million unique taxpayer IDs (CPFs) placed bets, while active accounts totaled 97.9m across operators and 113.3m across brands. Many bettors hold several accounts: 44.36% use a single operator, while 27.78% use four or more.
Cumulative gross gaming revenue (GGR) reached BR7.6bn
The 12% of GGR earmarked for legal allocations totaled BR914.1m, led by sport (BR329.1m) and tourism (BR256m), followed by public security (BR124.3m), education and social security (BR91.4m each) and the Health Ministry (BR9.1m).
On enforcement, the SPA lists 78 inspection processes covering 60 operators and 101 brands, plus 50 administrative sanctioning proceedings. It also reports 366 inspection processes against digital influencers, resulting in 201 pieces of content and 262 profiles being removed and 23,462 URLs blocked between October 2024 and October 2025. The supervision fee generated BR76.7m.
The overview also outlines two working groups
One covers harm prevention and reduction for problem gambling, with actions including the Centralized Self-Exclusion Platform, a health self-test, a healthcare protocol and training for the public psychosocial care network (RAPS).
The other targets match-fixing, through police training, a national policy and the Apita Cidadão reporting app.
Cooperation agreements include integrity partners such as Sportradar, IBIA, Genius, SIGA and 360IN, as well as telecoms regulator Anatel, the National Consumer Secretariat, banking federation Febraban, advertising self-regulator CONAR and the Digital Council of Brazil.
Men accounted for 68.01% of bettors and women 31.99% and 28.85% were aged 31-40, the largest age group
