In Congress
The window for amendments to Provisional Measure No. 1,394/2026 closed at 23:59 on 13 October. Reports count 99 amendments filed, with five later withdrawn, leaving 94 for the joint committee to consider. Congress must approve the measure within 120 days or it lapses.
Site blocking
The Ministry of Justice and Public Security said more than 20,000 illegal betting and advertising sites have been referred for blocking since the measure was published.
Industry body ANJL says more than 3,500 workers have been dismissed since the measure, about 23% of the workforce of companies in its study.
What this means for the register
No change. All 184 Brazilian records stay "Offline – licence revocation due 25 October". They will change to "Licence revoked" once the revocation is confirmed.
