Flutter Entertainment Halts Brazilian Operations Due to Gambling Ban


Flutter Entertainment, the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator, has ceased operating sports betting and iGaming in Brazil following a provisional executive order issued by the Brazilian Government banning online betting and gaming.

The executive order is expected to require Congressional approval or amendment within 120 days to remain in effect. Should Congress reject this measure, Flutter expects its online sports betting and iGaming activity to recommence.

If Flutter Brazil is unable to operate for the remainder of the year, it is expected to result in a reduction to 2026 revenue of approximately $70m and a reduction in adjusted EBITDA of approximately $20m.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
