Check the betting restrictions and refund timetable below, and keep the records needed for an existing balance.
There are no bonuses to claim in Brazil now. MP 1.394 bans fixed-odds betting offers and advertising, including online casino games, and no new money has been allowed into betting accounts since 25 September. Checked 6 October 2026.
The guidance below explains the restrictions and links to the original sources.
No signup bonus is listed here for residents of Brazil. Read the restrictions and balance/refund guidance below.
A no-deposit allocation originally described a reward received without a qualifying payment. It was never necessarily cash available to withdraw. Under the current Brazilian wind-down, identify the money actually owed and the applicable official refund process instead of looking for another code.
MP 1.394 of 25 September addresses fixed-odds operation, offers, intermediation and advertising, including online game outcomes. It is different from the earlier rules about rewards before a bet. The current full measure and SPA timetable govern the explanation here.
New incoming fixed-odds funds have been prohibited since 25 September. The withdrawal window closed at 23:59 on 5 October, and the sites went offline on 6 October. Continued account access is not permission to fund another welcome.
Article 7 cancels bets still unsettled at the cut-off and requires full stake repayment without deductions. Settled prizes remain payable. A bet’s potential odds-based winnings are not an already settled prize. Keep the actual identifier, stake and settlement history.
The statute requires an active deposit or payment account held by the player, with a matching CPF. The originating account is preferred. If a direct return cannot be completed, the reason and individually identified funds belong in the subsequent official process; a third party’s account is not a substitute.
The Finance Ministry now labels its company list as authorizations before MP 1.394 came into force. Article 4’s thirty-day termination period is separate from immediate payment prohibitions and the shorter offer-shutdown deadline. Use the historic company record to identify an existing operator, without treating it as a fresh bonus approval.
The sites are offline now, so there’s nothing left to do on them. New money into betting accounts has been banned since 25 September. An old welcome banner, a balance in reais or a Pix option doesn’t create any exception, and no deposit is part of the refund.
The ban started on 25 September, when no new money could go into betting accounts. Players could then withdraw their own balance until 23:59 on 5 October. From 6 October the betting sites and apps had to go offline.
On 6 and 7 October, operators report each player’s CPF, balance and the account the money came from. Banks pay the money back between 9 and 14 October. From 14 October, Caixa Econômica Federal handles anything a bank couldn’t return.
None of this turns an old welcome package into something you can still claim. A saved page might still show a match, spins or chips, but what you’re owed comes from your real account balance and the rules above.
The law gives banks seven days from receiving the operator’s list, so a payment can land any day in that window. If yours is late or short, the operator and the bank must explain it in writing.
Already asked for a withdrawal before 5 October? Keep the amount, time and reference. When money arrives, compare it with your records. If it doesn’t match, that record is your evidence.
Preserve the operator company, CNPJ, domain, account statement, deposit receipts and withdrawal references. Record available cash separately from a pending stake, settled prize or restricted promotional balance. The account total alone may not explain the sum due.
The withdrawal window closed at 23:59 on 5 October. What follows is the operators’ reporting on 6 and 7 October, the banks’ payments between 9 and 14 October, and Caixa from 14 October. A pending request is not the same as money in your bank, so keep the reference until it lands.
A displayed balance may combine deposited cash and promotional credit. Preserve the accepted terms and statement showing how each component arose. This guide does not declare every unused chip or spin cashable, and it does not tell you to wager more to complete an old counter.
Under Article 7, a bet still unsettled at the shutdown cut-off must be cancelled and its full stake returned without deductions. A prize from a bet already settled by that cut-off remains payable. Record the bet identifier and actual settlement status, rather than its possible future winnings.
The statutory return route uses an active deposit or payment account in the player’s name with a matching CPF, preferably the originating account. Another person’s account is not the specified route. Keep original payment details and authenticated bank replies; this site does not collect your banking documents.
The 5 October window, the 6 October shutdown and the refund stages each do a different job. Banks have seven days from receiving the operator’s list to pay you, which is why the payments fall between 9 and 14 October. None of these dates invites a final deposit or promotion.
Available cash
Save the actual withdrawable cash shown in the existing account and any request already submitted. A confirmation screen is not a completed bank credit. Identify the legal operator and retain its written response.
Read the voluntary withdrawal windowPending stake
A bet still unresolved at the shutdown cut-off is cancelled with its full stake returned under Article 7. Keep the original stake and bet identifier. Its possible future winnings are a different figure.
Read the stake and prize treatmentPromotional balance
An unused spin allocation or restricted promotional balance needs its original terms and ledger. The guide does not assume it becomes cash or recommend further wagering. Ask the actual operator to explain any disputed amount owed.
Read the refund-record requirementsThese are existing-account categories, not new gambling recommendations. No example advertises a spin, payment or betting journey during the current wind-down. The full measure defines the funds and obligations; a saved marketing headline cannot replace the account record.
These country guides follow their own current evidence. A Canadian or Irish allocation does not supply permission to offer fixed-odds betting to people in Brazil. A foreign licence, alternative domain or different currency does not remove the current measure’s stated Brazilian scope.
Withdrawals closed: At 23:59, on the betting sites. Sites and apps: Offline from this date. Bank refunds: To an account in your name.
CheckedSPA timetable and the full law
6 OctOur editorial tip
Save the betting company’s name and CNPJ, your last statement, deposit receipts, bet IDs and any withdrawal references. Note what was cash, what was an open bet and what was bonus credit. If a refund doesn’t arrive, that record is what gets it sorted.
None. Offering and advertising betting bonuses has been banned in Brazil since 25 September 2026. The eight cards on this page explain your refund and the law, and there are no casino or affiliate buttons.
MP 1.394 took effect on publication, prohibiting fixed-odds betting operation, offers, intermediation and advertising. Its definition covers real sporting events and online casino-game outcomes. New incoming resources were prohibited immediately, with separate deadlines for shutdown and returning existing player funds.
No. The window to withdraw on the sites closed at 23:59 on 5 October. Your remaining balance is now reported to the banks by CPF, and they pay it back between 9 and 14 October.
No. New money into betting accounts has been banned since 25 September, whatever the payment method, and the sites are offline since 6 October. No deposit is part of the refund either.
No general exception is created by using Pix. Article 14 expressly includes instantaneous payment arrangements within the limits on financial and payment services. An available Pix instruction or QR image does not prove that a new fixed-odds deposit is permitted.
Operators must report each player’s CPF, balance and the account the deposits came from to their banks. That list is what the banks use to pay refunds between 9 and 14 October. You don’t need to do anything.
SPA’s operational timetable gives 9–14 October for returns by financial institutions. Article 9 separately gives seven days from receipt of individualized information. The page does not convert those provisions into a guaranteed payment date for every account, especially where information is incomplete or funds are missing.
Article 9 uses an active deposit or payment account held by the player and matched to that player’s CPF, preferably the account from which the money originated. Another active account belonging to the same player can meet the statutory conditions. An unrelated person’s account is not the specified route.
Keep the original payment evidence and contact the actual operator and bank through their authenticated channels. The measure permits a suitable other account in the same player’s name and requires reporting of uncompleted returns and their reasons. Do not submit another person’s account or pay a stranger to recreate the record.
If the bet remains unsettled at the Article 7 cut-off, it must be cancelled and the full stake returned without deductions. The possible payout shown by its odds is not an already settled prize. Preserve the bet reference, stake, time and settlement status to identify the sum involved.
Yes. Article 7 preserves the duty to pay prizes from bets settled by the cut-off. Record the settlement and credited amount separately from a pending stake or an existing cash balance. That duty does not prove an individual operator has already supplied the money to the bank.
This guide does not make that claim. Preserve the allocation’s accepted terms and the statement identifying restricted credit, generated winnings and cash. A marketing headline alone cannot establish the amount owed. The page does not recommend further betting to clear an old promotional counter.
SPA says Caixa begins handling balances that financial institutions could not return directly from that date. Article 9 requires individually identified funds and records of why returns could not be completed. This is a subsequent supervised refund stage, not a new casino wallet or a promise of immediate payment to every claimant.
No. Article 9 preserves operators’ responsibility for missing resources and differences in player balances. Keep your statement, original payments, withdrawal request, bank credit and written replies. A timetable alone does not establish that the amount returned matches the amount actually owed.
Not yet. Licences issued under the 2023 betting law end 30 days after the measure, on 25 October 2026. That date doesn’t delay the deposit ban or the 6 October shutdown.
The measure expressly covers companies abroad when their fixed-odds offers target people in Brazil. A foreign licence, different currency or cryptocurrency payment method is not a general exemption. The current restriction must be checked for the actual product and people targeted, rather than inferred from a cashier option.
Its stated scope is fixed-odds betting, including the defined online game outcomes. Article 1 excludes other lawful lottery modalities from this particular measure. A practice-credit demonstration is not automatically redeemable cash, and this page does not use a demo as a route to advertise prohibited real-money offers.
Not as of 6 October. Industry groups asked the STF to suspend it in cases including ADI 8024 and ADI 8027. Minister Luiz Fux is the judge in charge and hasn’t ruled, and the sites went offline on schedule.
Keep the operator and bank references first. The Finance Ministry’s Ouvidoria instructions direct online submissions through Fala.BR: sign in with gov.br and select Ministério da Fazenda — MF. It is a public reporting channel, not an automatic individual cash-recovery guarantee. Keep the submission reference and protect account credentials.
The Finance Ministry describes free SUS mental-health support for affected players and families. Its instructions use Meu SUS Digital with a gov.br account, then the miniapp “Agora Tem Especialistas em Saúde Mental para Quem Aposta” and its assessment and scheduling steps. Use the linked official guidance; no new casino account or payment is required by that support route.
No. The law puts the job on the operator and its bank. Keep the account you deposited from open and watch for the payment between 9 and 14 October.
The bank or payment institution that held the operator’s account, not the betting site itself. Check the statement of the account you deposited from.
Keep your statements and compare them with what arrives. The operator stays responsible for anything it didn’t report or set aside, so complain to it and your bank first, then through the Ouvidoria on Fala.BR.
The timetable covers licensed operators, whose money sits in regulated bank accounts. Money left with an unlicensed offshore site isn’t part of this refund process.
A measure the President issues with the force of law from the day it’s published. Congress has 60 days to vote on it, which can be extended once by another 60.
Each finding below cites the current SPA timetable, full provisional measure or a relevant primary record. The explanations distinguish present implementation, historical company authorizations, Congressional consideration and announced court challenges. Checked 6 October 2026.
The window to withdraw from the betting sites closed at 23:59 on 5 October. From 6 October the sites and apps had to go offline. If you still had money in an account, it isn’t lost.
On 6 and 7 October each operator must tell its bank what every player is owed, by CPF. It also reports the account the deposits came from. The bank then has seven days to pay the full amount into an active account in your name, which puts the payments between 9 and 14 October.
The refund covers your available balance, the stakes from bets that were cancelled, and prizes already won. An operator that fails to set the money aside faces a R$200,000 fine for every day it’s late.
You don’t need to apply. Say you had R$300 left in your account: the operator reports it, the bank pays it, and it should land in your account that week.
Asked for a withdrawal before the deadline and it still hasn’t arrived? Keep the reference and the time you asked. If nothing lands by 14 October, that record is your proof when you complain.

SPA: current withdrawal timetable ↗Full provisional measure ↗
MP 1.394 prohibits new incoming resources for fixed-odds betting from its publication on 25 September. Account closure and return of existing funds have a separate permitted purpose.
This restriction applies before the website/app shutdown date. The last days before the shutdown were never a chance to fund a welcome bonus either. An operator still showing a cashier, Pix instructions or a promotional banner does not establish permission to accept another gambling payment.
Article 14 limits payment and financial services to winding down operations, closing accounts and refunding players. Its provisions include instantaneous payment arrangements. Pix is a payment method, not an exception to the restriction.
The narrow Article 7 exception concerns resources from liquidating or returning investments already made with player funds, solely to reimburse those players. It does not create a new-customer deposit exception or authorize a player to add money for a coupon.
Save any disputed payment receipt with the operator company, transaction identifier and account history. Ask the bank and the actual operator to identify the payment’s status. Do not send another payment simply because a support message says it will unlock a previous one.

The refund framework uses the player’s CPF and an active deposit or payment account held by that player. The originating account is preferred, with another account in the same player’s name permitted by the statutory conditions.
Operators must identify each player and the amount to return, then communicate individualized records to the financial institutions and SPA. A correct account number alone does not replace the ownership and CPF match. An account belonging to a relative, affiliate or unrelated recovery service is not the specified route.
Article 9 gives financial institutions seven days from receiving the relevant individualized information to complete the refund. This is a record-receipt clock, not seven days after every player presses Withdraw. SPA’s published operational schedule places bank repayments on 9–14 October.
A closed bank account or incomplete matching information can prevent a straightforward return. Keep the original deposit evidence and ask the actual bank and operator how they are handling that record. This page does not collect your CPF, identity files or banking credentials.
If the refund differs from the amount owed, retain both the original balance evidence and the bank credit. The statutory process does not remove an operator’s responsibility for absent funds or differences in player balances.

Individualized CPF and refund requirements ↗SPA: 6–7 October records and 9–14 October refunds ↗
Article 7 requires bets that remain unsettled at the shutdown cut-off to be cancelled, with the full stake returned without deductions. Prizes from bets settled by the cut-off remain payable.
A pending bet, an available cash balance and an already settled prize should be recorded separately. A pending bet’s possible future return is not a settled prize. The cancellation provision concerns the stake already committed, not the odds-based amount that might have been won.
Preserve the bet identifier, stake, acceptance time and settlement status together with the account statement. For an already settled result, retain the settlement record and the credited prize. This evidence helps distinguish a void-stake repayment from money that was already due.
SPA says offer websites and applications must be unavailable from 6 October. Its timetable explains the operational stages, while the full measure specifies the treatment of open bets and settled prizes. Do not assume a sporting event taking place later extends the operator’s permitted offer window.
These are different amounts owed under the wind-down framework. The page does not predict a result, recommend placing a final bet or claim that every promotional balance is automatically converted into withdrawable cash.

SPA’s timetable says Caixa Econômica Federal begins handling balances that could not be returned directly from 14 October. This follows the operator reporting and bank-refund stages.
Article 9 requires financial institutions to report completed and uncompleted returns, including the reason when a payment could not be made. Resources that cannot be returned through that route go to a specific Caixa account, with individual player identification maintained.
The transfer is not a new casino account, promotional credit or permission to gamble. The framework places the return of those individually recorded funds under official supervision. It also preserves the operator’s responsibility for insufficient resources and differences.
A government timetable does not prove that your record was received or that a particular balance is already available at Caixa. Keep the operator’s balance statement, originating payment details, prior withdrawal request and any bank response. Ask for the actual record and status rather than accepting a generic promise.
This page does not invent a Caixa recovery form, a guaranteed same-day payment, a fee to release funds or a fresh deposit requirement. Use subsequent official instructions and your actual bank’s authenticated channels when the relevant stage begins.

MP 1.394 took effect on publication, prohibiting the operation, offer, intermediation and advertising of fixed-odds betting nationwide. Its definition includes real sporting events and online game outcomes.
The text expressly covers physical and virtual routes and companies based abroad when the offer is directed to people in Brazil. A foreign licence, cryptocurrency cashier, BRL balance or alternative domain is therefore not a general exemption. State and Federal District authorizations are addressed as well.
Article 1 excludes other lawful lottery modalities from this particular measure. The accurate scope is fixed-odds betting under the definition in the measure; it is not a claim that every lottery, game or form of entertainment in Brazil has been prohibited.
The Congressional record checked on 6 October shows the measure under legislative consideration. A provisional measure is not treated here as an unenacted proposal, nor is it described as a permanently converted law. Its legislative status and the current SPA implementation guidance are separate evidence.
The STF’s 28 September announcement records challenges in ADIs 8024 and 8027 and requests to suspend the measure. That announcement does not itself announce a granted suspension. This page follows SPA’s 2 October timetable, checked again on 6 October. If a court or Congress changes it, the SPA page is the one to trust.
Legal authority: MP 1.394/2026, Articles 1–6 and 30; current SPA guidance and Congressional record. Judicial challenges are distinguished from court orders.
Full measure and scope ↗Congress: current legislative record ↗STF: announced challenges ↗SPA: current implementation guidance ↗
Article 4 extinguishes prior federal, state and Federal District authorizations thirty days after publication. Earlier payment prohibitions and the shorter site/app shutdown timetable operate during that transition.
The licences don’t all end on publication day. They run until 25 October, but that never allowed new offers. It would also be inaccurate to treat an old multi-year approval period as permission to accept new fixed-odds deposits despite the immediate restrictions.
The Finance Ministry’s current company page is explicitly a list of businesses authorized before MP 1.394 came into force. It is useful for identifying the legal company behind a historic account. It is not presented here as a directory of operators currently approved to advertise new welcome rewards.
For an existing dispute, record the actual company name, CNPJ, brand and domain from your accepted terms and the relevant historic authorization. A company serving multiple brands is not necessarily several separate account operators. The exact entity matters when documenting a balance and pursuing its return.
The measure’s rule against reimbursing operators’ authorization fees is separate from the duty to return player funds. Do not mistake a statement about an operator’s outgrant or indemnity for a rule that makes an individual player lose the account balance.
Legal authority: MP 1.394/2026, Articles 4 and 7–9; Finance Ministry’s historical authorization page, updated 1 October.
Historical company and authorization records ↗Authorization termination and player refund provisions ↗
Article 16 covers advertising, marketing and sponsorship directed to the Brazilian public, including digital formats. Publishing a fresh affiliate coupon journey is not treated as a permitted bonus directory during this wind-down.
The rule’s scope is broader than the earlier debate about welcome rewards. A promotion being displayed by a formerly authorized brand does not answer whether the new measure permits the service or its advertising. A short expiry, a free allocation or an unpaid placement does not by itself supply an exception.
Article 17 provides a limited exception for pre-publication content containing betting advertisements only as an accessory. A dedicated casino-bonus page must not simply assume that exception covers its main purpose. This updated page therefore provides sources, account-record guidance and refund explanations without operator signup buttons.
The measure also addresses payment intermediation, application distribution and blocking of relevant sites. Decree 13.128 establishes the implementation committee; it does not create a new coupon exemption or reset SPA’s withdrawal timetable.
The expandable count on this page is eight legal and refund checks, not eight claimable offers or a claim that a free-spin balance is available today. There are no copied rival codes, invented customer quotations or commission-bearing casino links in this Brazilian comparison.

We read the SPA timetable, the full text of MP 1.394 and the Congress record again on 6 October 2026. The timetable was unchanged since SPA published it on 2 October. Congress had 48 amendments filed and no vote yet.
For the court challenge we used the Supreme Court’s own 28 September announcement and Brazilian press reports from 5 and 6 October. As of 6 October there was no suspension, and the sites went offline on schedule.
Every date on this page comes from the official timetable or the law itself. If a court or Congress changes them, the SPA page is the one to trust.
There are no casino buttons, codes or affiliate links on this page, because advertising betting to people in Brazil is banned.
Start with what you were owed when the sites closed. The operator reports it and the bank pays it, so you mainly need to keep the right account open. Never follow a new gambling domain or a request to pay a fee to unlock your money. That isn’t the government’s refund process.
Keep every record until the money lands: deposit receipts, withdrawal references and the betting site’s emails. If the refund is short or never arrives, complain to the operator and your bank with those records, then use the official channels below. The SPA timetable is linked throughout, so you can check any later change.
Gather the operator’s name and CNPJ, your last statement, deposit receipts and any withdrawal references. Note which part of your balance was cash, which was an open bet and which was bonus credit.
Make sure the account you deposited from is still open, in your name and under your CPF. If it’s closed, the refund can go to another active account in your own name, never someone else’s.
Banks pay between 9 and 14 October, with no application needed. The money comes from the bank or payment institution that held the operator’s account, so check that week’s statement.
From 14 October, Caixa handles money banks couldn’t return. The operator stays responsible for anything missing. Still stuck? Complain through the Finance Ministry’s Ouvidoria on Fala.BR with your records.
Worked example
R$120 cash + R$20 voided stake + R$30 settled prize = R$170This is a hypothetical record check. Suppose R$120 is cash excluding both a separate R$20 stake in a bet still unsettled at the cut-off and a separate unpaid R$30 prize from a bet already settled. The three distinct documented items total R$170 before resolving any other dispute. The pending bet’s possible future winnings are not added.
Do not count the same amount twice: if the settled R$30 is already included in the R$120 cash balance, that version totals R$140 after the separate voided stake. An unused promotional chip is not automatically added as cash. These examples show ledger distinctions, not proof of an actual payout or a government guarantee for a specific account.
Keep your records until the money is in your bank. The SPA timetable has the official dates. To complain, use the Finance Ministry’s Ouvidoria on Fala.BR. For help with gambling problems, SUS offers free support for players and their families.
